When will the curse of rap crap end? Bah humbug to Rap music I say, not that its music anyway, its just some fella rhyming total rubbish in a silly gansta voice! Rap has even managed to infect the latest Christmas offering in the charts.

(THE BIG CHRISTMAS REUNION - I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS . . .)

When, if ever, will rapping end, or will it infect celibrity songs for evermore . . . .

Maybe some of you actually like Rap ?

Black music used to be so cool now its terrible and sung by whites.

I loistened to a bit of rap years ago when it had some semblance of intelligence to me, like the Disposable Heroes... then it turned into "bitches, Lexus, bling, gold..." and for me it just got boring.

i tried to rap about more economical family cars such as the corolla and the joys of diesel for the long drives and got me nowhere

Just a selection of rap songs with some of the best lyrics you'll see pretty much any where.

We be keepin' it real the whole time, quietly. Just the other evening we went on a drive-by patio-admiring. Step tha fúck back, cracka. :cool:

You need to understand the slang first to appreciate it. Once you do you'll realise how clever and technical some rappers actually are.

^Exactly. It really is a skill and a talent. Maybe it's not your thing but just because there are some bad raps/rappers out there doesn't mean it's all crap - same with any genre of music.

Rap/Hip Hop used to be good, innovative sounds/beats with lyrics that delivered insightful social commentary into the lives of disadvantaged inner city youth.

Like so:

Great if you're into that kinda stuff, but must RAP infect Christmas songs too?

I don't mind rap if it stays within the rap scene, but once it seeps out into other music,
(and in this case a Christmes celebrity song) then I think its not so cool.

preston johnny · 19-12-2013 12:41PM

I'm not a big fan of rap music, I personally think it promotes violence.

When I listen to it, all i want to do was stab myself in the ears repeatedly.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 19-12-2013 12:46PM

I like a wide variety of music but mainly rock and metal.

I do like rap but mainly the old stuff or some slightly different modern rapping.

Another +1 to Scroobius Pip, saw him in Dolan's in Limerick about a year ago, great night.

The last honest rap song?

mike65 · 19-12-2013 01:30PM

The best rap song was by Blondie - fact!

obezyana · 19-12-2013 01:30PM

Commercial rap is terrible the rest as in underground/gangsta/political and poetic rap is good. Iv been listening to rap since the age of 13 and it's definitely after getting worse and now it's being meshed into dance tunes it's becoming unbearable.

cnocbui · 19-12-2013 01:38PM

Rap - excrement posing as excrement.

I saw Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip in Kelly's, Galway, and Scroobius Pip solo in the Roisin Dubh and both were among the best gigs I've ever been at. They're pretty nice guys - in Kelly's they went out to talk to the fans before and after the gig and they both sell their own merchandise, meaning fans get a load of interaction.

Think he was from a boy band OP, blatantly not a rapper, so hop down off the high horse, sure music whatever genre is just some fella banging away to some sort of beat.

Get some real hip hop into ye, might even lighten you up a bit if your still not buying it you can just

cringeworthy exchange, or have i stumbled onto the OAP forum?

to all the people posting "real rap" - why try so hard to defend rap? the types (above) you're trying to convince are never going to like it. they never wanted or cared to give it a try. i used to feel the exact same about metal music, but gave it a try. still not my favorite genre, but i can still appreciate it and not be so ignorant as to say it's not music.

Rap. A complete load of noise polluting fuck performed by pretentious **** and listened to by easily led cretinous dimwits.

A bit like indie music then?

Mint Aero · 19-12-2013 10:32PM

Rap is sh*te, I liked a bit of m&m's before, never liked any black rapper

their music doesn't appeal to me at all, I wonder why? Oh wait, I'm white and Irish that's why.

When will the curse of rap crap end? Bah humbug to Rap music I say.
