I'm sittin' here looking through AVD as you do on a Saturday morning, with RAGE on in the background.
Now i'm setting myself up for abuse here, but what is it with rap and hip hop...I don't get it.
Eminem, Ja rule, snoop dogg, p. diddy, chingy....WTF.
I've been watching for 20 mins and besides a U2 havn't heard any decent music yet...where's all the rock.
Now I maybe one of the mature members (in age only) of the forum but I love my music some live concerts i've been to include iron maiden, whitesnake, U2, Deep Purple, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits and only recently Killing Heidi.
Each to their own as my son plays it but I tell him it's shit too.
Although I dont mind linkin park and Jay-Z

AUSTRALIAN HIP HOP SUCKS!!! :cussing
(the only exception is 1200 techniques, but even then....)
I'm totally over the stuff, JJJ, get over it!
Im with ya on that one! Rage used to be one of my favorite things to watch, Its been taken over by stereotyped rubbish! Where are the new bands with their own style, instead of re doing old stuff or all that copycat shit they have now! Bring back the oil's, Angels, Led Zep, Bowie, AC/DC and other like them! Kids of today are deprived of real music.

Hey i kinda like some of the gansgter rap , but only 2pac and quality artist like that. Most rap they play on TV/MTV/RAGE whatever is shit. White guys shouldnot rap too. But then again i like any music from death metal, jazz, classical through to rap.. any style of music

I'm more of a metal man myself
But there is good hip-hop out there, its just you'll never hear it on TV/radio
Its pretty rude to rag on the whole genre of music when you only hear the SHITTIEST SHITTY SHIT through the media
bit of a generilisation methinks
.
I agree Crap oops Rap and Hip hop is SH!T but they did just play Stevie Wrights Evie part 1. Long live AC/DC Black Sabbath Deep Purple

If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH
Spoken word can be done well, RUn DMC, Beasty boys, Faith no more, etc
but when every sentence ends with "uh hu" or "nigga", I'm totally over it. We don't need ghettos or drive bys to be cool.
Remember Jimi Hendrix, he smoked weed (not that I advocate that), said outragous things and died young, but at least he actually added something. 😎
Gangstas mostly aren't even real gangstas, and the real ones stopped being gangstas so they could make money rapping badly. everyone should just get over it, they're not real rebels. :o
depends,
Maxi Jazz (Faithless) is the man.
Gangstas with their pimpin ho'in stuff is a waste of airtime.
Why do rage and video hits just show that shit, there is plenty of other new/old tunage........
Scissor Sisters rage last weekend was awesome though!!!
kkk

I 100% agree HIP HOP is crap, every song sounds the god dawm same. The music stations should start playing METALLICA, LED ZEP, AEROSMITH and TWISTED SISTER. there the cool band that need to be played more not this hip hop shit that is heard on the radio today.
cheers steve.
Heh it is a gross generalisation. Its like saying you hate punk when you listen to good charlotte and blink 182.
50 cent, eminem, jay-z, xzibit, chingy, nelly et al are the ultra commercial side of hip hop. They dont really take all the gangsta stuff seriously, it just sells records to white kids. This genre of commercial hip hop is intertwined with ever so cheesy "R&B" which the marketing people decided to euphemistically call "urban" music.
There is much better hip hop out there that is less well known and doesn't get mainstream airplay like Sage francis, Mos def, blackalicious etc, and then there is other stuff like DJ Kraze, Invisible Skratch Picklz which is purely just turntablism which has no words. Also old school stuff like Run DMC, grandmaster flash and the furious five, whodini, de la soul, public enemy, NWA, beastie boys is fantastic.
I like aussie hip hop too, because it is honest. They dont try to rap in american accents, they dont try to rap about life the the ghetto and rubbish like that. They are more honest than "retro rock revival" bands like jet, the bees, the shins and all the other "the" bands which are all about image.
I like AC/DC too 🙂
oh and Killing heidi is crap :p
Jon
ACDC? Are you serious Have they had a good song in 20 years? or Metallica? THey used to be good... iron maiden? Man they must be like 20years ago aswell. Twisted sister? Yeah they used to rock! But they are a little washed out now.
Hip Hop isn't crap it's just like every music there's crap and good...
It sn't wise to be so narrow minded with one music genre.
Not my first choice either but for $22 a ticket...:P

All Welcome

and on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/FlatFourin melburn there are a lot of live music venues, lots of stuff a lot of people will never hear. some great hip hop gigs aswell as folk, rock, jazz, etc. from the subtle to the obscure. its good to expose yourself to all styles without judging before you hear it (going out with friends and thinking "oh no, not a [insert music genre] night, this will suck" you set yourself up to hate it before you heard it that way. you migt like it, or you might not, but the odds are someone is feeling it, and dos'nt need to be told you think their taste is shit, doing this usualy creates barriers and cuts off a lot of communication:kiss
Hey im goin 2 either piss everyone or no1 off with this, same as cars and all else im open 2 all kinds of music, hey i like Midnight oil, pink floyd, ACDC, meat loaf, offspring, older silverchair, usher, 50cent, eminem/D-12 later albums, some country is ok, frank sinatra, billy joel, elvis, icehouse, jet, linkin park, men @ work, metallica, lost prophets, story of the year, talking heads, nick skitz, chemical brothers, cypress hill, scribe, klubbheads, DJ alligator, powderfinger, greenday, living end, warp brothers, chilli peppers, etc im sure i could think of more but u shoul dget the idea, music is cool all of it has its time and place, surely ppl would agree with that

Rap is CRAP.:repuke
tssnq.com.au
Possibly me.
Early Rap was the voice of the black people uniting them against inequality and oppression.
Gangster rap on the other hand seems to shift the focus and pit them against each other diffusing all potential political power.
Not a fan of Rap, hate Gangster rap.
