I'm afraid that I have to agree with Lasz... I think rap is utter bollocks. It's mostly doggrel rhyme. Anyone can do it...it's not big and it's not clever...it seems, to me (and please tell me if I'm missing something here) that it revolves around (mainly) black people trying to be (mainly) really 'hard'.

A pity, because previous generations of black music, like jazz and motown needed some serious work put into them to produce a result. That was real music because it actually had a melody and a counterpoint.

Rap bands (again to me) seem to make a lot more about marketing their images than the music they actually make.

There is no doubt at all that black people are the most musically gifted people on the planet and we have borrowed a lot from them. But rap? it's retrograde to my mind and a very easy way for people to churn out junk without putting much effort into it (just my humble point of view)

Your argument isn't improving, but keep up with those insults. Real talent there.
