    I'm not really a fan of hip hop/rap used to be alright but am now a metal head. But maybe you guys can shed some light on something that has always puzzled me so far as the like of Eminem and that goes. Why do rappers grb their crotch when they bustin a rhyme??

    Sorry bad pun thing but I just had to do it!

    emmm okay...
    right so joe!
    But seriously does anyone know?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    Chavs arent people who like hip/hop or rap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    round here they are.
    Or would you prefer I call you scumbags or skangers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 724 ✭✭✭ubu


    Whilst we're using sweeping generalisations, go cut your hair and have a shower you smelly rocker and stop hanging around the central bank and stop thinking about committing suicide just do it.



    only difference is there's actual truth in the rockers generalisations!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    Well i dont have a clue what a skanger is. But you need a dictionary or something man because most scumbags cant even afford a radio or watever to listen to any type of music

    While we call you a moron?
    Grabing their crotch is just posturing, it's because they are so full of themselves.

    Next time you venture to post on a board for the first time you might be best off not trying to insult everyone.

    only difference is I'm not from Dub, so cannot hang around central bank, have short hair, shower every day and have been suicidal more than once.
    aside from that generalise away.

    Call me what you will, I had a genuine question, I did not come here to insult, this evidently proves the differences between the terms used by people upon people of differing interests to be different in different areas of the country so next time you call someone a moron think about what you are saying yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    You called everyone that listens to rap a scumbag so I in turn am calling you a moron.

    yes well, come down here and you shall see my point. I was nearly killed by a scumbag two months ago, they thought it would be fun to throw rocks at me cuz I was wearing black and had a guitar. One of them got me in the back of the head nearly killed me. And before you say "Well you probably called them scumbags" I had not even looked at them, I was sitting on a wall waiting for a lift.

    also read my sig. Biggest scumbag in town. He plans to kill you unless you listen to the likes of Euphoria, Eminem, 50Cent and all that sort.

    It's to prove they have balls, i.e they are hard.
    Or you could say
    "Eat these, biatch"
    And grab your balls.
    Lots of **** really, some of them just like grabbing their balls.

    Your generalisation sucks balls btw, a good few of the members here listen to decent sh!t that's miles ahead of most of metal these days. That sh!t's been stuck in a rut for far too long now. So don't be an ignorant fuçk, 'tis not cool.
    And if scumbags are kicking your ass, go learn kickboxing or some sh!t. Don't bitch to us about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    Just because he might listen to that type of music that doesnt mean everyone that does is like that. Theres people who like rap and are afraid of their own shadow

    I teach Tae Kwon Do and yes I was going to beat up a kid that was half the height of me, and about 12, yep thats real sane and mature. Metal and rock is way more versatile than rap, how many bans from years ago are still going strong, even though half the members are dead or just gone, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Pantera, and loads more, but look at the amount of one hit wonders in rap, theres a huge number. As for generalisation, I said it before and I'll say it again, come down here and my point will be proven. If you don't like they're sort of music then you're not fit to breath the same air as them.

    This is the rap/hip-hop forum. Go off back to metal and rock if you want to talk about that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I wasn't talking about rock and metal, I was making a comparrison but I'l gladly be off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    So because of the few scummers you have had the misfortune to come across happen to like rap you assume everyone that likes rap is a scumbag? Do you not see the flaw in that logic? What happened to you was a shítty thing, but do you honestly think everybody that listens to a specific musical genre is the same?

    And this is bacause he listens to a certain type of music? no, its because he's a scumbag and listens to the lowest common denominator music which gets played on the local radio staion or MTV all the time ie, dance music & commmercial rap, the fact that they attacked you had nothing to with the 50 cent album he just listened to, its got to do with his upbringing, there are no subliminal "kill the rockers" messages in rap music and if you blame the music for their behaviour or associate a certain type of person to a certain type of music then you are being as ignorant as they are.

    If you go to a real Hip-Hop (ie.the likes of Blackalicious, J5, The Roots, etc) gig i guarantee there would not be one scumbag in sight

    Please dont, this is just getting interesting, and the Rock Vs Rap debate is only starting!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I didn't blame their behavior on the music, but around here anyone who listens to that music does fall into that category, its just the way it goes here, They seem to be bred with an inbuilt "Kill the Krusties" thing.

    If you want a debate give me something to debate about, but I don't really care this is simply upping my post count.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    so just because its like that in Calcutta or wherever youre from. Its not like that everywhere


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I'm not from calcutta, and I never said or assumed its like that everywhere, I know "scumbags" frm other areas that are sound, I'm simply saying that is the way it is down here and that the words scumbag, skanger, kev and chav are used to describe such people that listen to such music.

    Thats the whole point,they might be bred with it but its got nothing got to with the music they listen to, yet you cant seem to get past this :rolleyes:

    Well you called me a scumbag


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    if you are referring to "would you prefer I call you scumbags or skangers?" then I think you will find you are wrong. I did not say "You Scuba Steve are a scumbag." I used it in the plural and did not direct it at anybody in particular, you just happened to be the poster who disagreed with my calling you (in plural) chavs, which round here, as I will again state, is a much politer term than scumbag, as I did not intend to offend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭RVN10


    Man wats your beef , you cant just single out rap music cos of one person thats not on , i particularily like rap music and the label scumbag or skanger you cant jus say that..

    Bullshít, and the fact you say it's politer than scumbag implies you still meant to offend. Muppet.

    How can you know a "sound scumbag"? Surely that's an oxymoron? Or are you the type who labels all people from working-class estates "scumbags" or "scobes" or whatever? The levels of snobbery I come across on this site is unreal to be honest. I'm from a working-class estate, am I a "scumbag" because I happen to be from a corporation estate as opposed to private housing?

    As for your comment regards music, if you seriously label people who like hip-hop "scumbags" you are delusional son, and have some proper maturing to do. Scumbag is a derogatort term and when used against those of a different class is akin to calling a black person a "n*gger" or a gay person a "****" ie it's not on.

    wtf, are you mentally retarted?, that brick the 12 year old hit you with must have done some permanent damage, the ones trying to "kill you" listen to rap and they are scumbags thus everyone who listens to rap is a scumbag, thats your logic and its fundamentally flawed if you can't accept that then you are unbelievably stupid.

    and i take back what i said, please fúck off now.
