Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

i

thats fine mate.

must say im not a fan of any music being played loud out of car windows.
any song that has a swear. word in it just turns me of it completely.

It's down to the media, lazy journalists call pop rappers hip hop artists to make them appear more credible.
Real hip hop is a very underground thing in 2012, the record labels like to associate their 'artists' with a scene, it happens with lots of pop music.
True hip hop is not very popular at all, it's artists are not very well known & make little money, they do it for the love of the culture.
Because of this, 95% of the music that people are angry about because they hear it hear booming out of cars isn't hip hop, it's just masquerading as such.
Just because something has rapping on it, it doesn't mean that it's hip hop.

Thanks for the open mindedness Darren bud, MF Doom is an amazing lyricist, however, his music is not easy to get into upon your first listen. Stick with him & you will be rewarded !

And just to get back on topic, I also hate hearing music playing out of poorly equipped cars. House music in particular.
(Yeah, i know I said that all kinds of music are good earlier, but we all have to dislike something. I think it helps to put things in perspective.)

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

hey mate no offence taken.
ive never heard of pop rap.

if its pop rap then why is it not called what it should be called its giving hip hop a bad name.
yes ill give MF DOOM a listen.

No disrespect Darren, but I strongly suggest that you have a listen to MF Doom,
It's unlikely that you would suggest that he has no skill when it comes to lyrics if you give him a go.

I feel that I have to stick up for hip hop here.
Most of the stuff referred to here isn't hip hop, it's pop rap, there is a huge difference.
Hip hop isn't just music, it's a culture which also includes DJing, breakdancing & graffiti art.
Real hip hop doesn't necessarily glamourise the money\guns\women thing, unlike the pop rap that you are used to hearing.
I am a fan of many different kinds of music, & am a musician myself. I work with hip hop artists & they are all lovely people.
Obviously everyone here is entitled to their own opinions, but as with all kinds of good music, you have to dig a bit, you don't have to put up with what the mainstream pushes on you, there is always good music of all varieties out there, you just don't usually hear it on daytime radio.
Like I said, i'm not trying to disrespect anyone or their opinions, I just want you to see that most stuff labled as hip hop isn't real hip hop.
Real hip hop is about peace, unity & having fun !

Amen Brother. The mainstream stuff gives rap and hip hop a bad bad name. I can understand why people don't like it, it sounds very similar in passing, but a lot of the good stuff covers topics many of us here could relate to. Such an eclectic sound that can nurture the mind.

On a side note, people playing music loudly doesn't just stem from people playing gangsta rap. Every type of music gets abused this way. People can just be obnoxious to other peoples personal space.

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

Yes, I hate that sort of thing too...I often think they could put those metal posts with the twisted cotton thick ropes you find outside nightclubs, a few bouncers and start charging people to dance around the car as they boom out their cr-p like a mobile nightclub...its pathetic. Roll on their tinitus!

I also hate Gangsta (C)RAP and Chase n Status - they are awful...

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

any of the modern (c)rap that spews its content out of passing car windows. For some reason the moron behind the wheel deems in necessary for the entire neighbourhood to hear him before he is within a half mile. I confronted one in a filling station, would you mind turning that (c)rap off, I am trying to use a thing called a brain. He said that if it was too loud, I was too old. I replied that it was not too loud, as I am a Sabbath fan; but its the moron who is playing it thats too loud.

MF Doom

to me rap has no real skill about it when it comes to lyrics.

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

The problem with rap is that only the gangsta stuff gets thrown about. There is good rap. The Beastie Boys were great. Jurassic 5 too. Lupe Fiasco. Roots Manuva. De La Soul. MF Doom. All head and shoulders over the usual gangsta silage that most people recognise as rap.

oh i so agree with this mate.

to me rap has no real skill about it when it comes to lyrics.[

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

The Titanic theme tune was 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion.

Anything by Catatonia / Cerys Matthews

Same here. In fact, apart from the great soul divas, I'm not overly a fan of female singers - in particular, step forwards the wailing banshees Shakespeare's Sister and Alannis Morissette - Aaarghhhhhhh!!!
Glad there are so many others who hate "Gangsta Rap" and all it stands for - just no need for it.
Anything & everything with / by Morrissey.

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

hi roxxy i sure agree with u on the following.
Any modern gangsta-rap that lorifies violence and gun-culture (especially Snoop Doggie Dogg)
music should not be about these things.
i dont like any song that has cursing in it.

i dont like any music by boy nands blue,westlife,east 17 boyzone etc.

[Roxxy]

Re: Turn That Cr*p Off!!!

The Titanic theme tune was 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion.

I agree with Koukou- anything by Simply Red I reach for the 'off' knob.
Also:
'The Living Years' by Mike & The Mechanics
'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris de Burgh (though this is usually only played at Christmas)
'The Power Of Love' by Jennifer Rush
That song by Kenny Rogers with the lyrics "Promise me son, not to do the things I've done..." (etc. etc. Redneck bar-room garbage!)
Any modern gangsta-rap that glorifies violence and gun-culture (especially Snoop Doggie Dogg)
Anything by U2 (one of the most over-rated bands in history, and obsessed with their Irishness)
Anything by Catatonia / Cerys Matthews (she believes that if you weren't actually BORN in Wales you're not properly Welsh. I'm as Taff as they come, and I was born in Birmingham!!)
'Don't Go' by The Hothouse Flowers
Anything by Prince (is there anyone alive who would NOT like to wring that man's neck??!)
