I HATE modern rap music but do love old school stuff. The beastie boys, 3ed base,LL Cool J top my list. Anyone else like old rap??

[Bo8a_Fett]

Sorry to disagree with you John...but to me most rap is missing a C from in front of it...IMHO

[txteach]

Ouch! But funny. Like I said, old school is what I like. Pre-1988.

[Bo8a_Fett]

Beastie boys were fun...did quite like run dmc....

I'm just a small-town Oklahoma boy. I don't think I was ever the intended audience and the subject matter is not something I can relate to. That said, I have a hard time appreciating it on any level, but it is hard for me to be dismissive of Rap's cultural impact. However, I probably wasn't the intended demographic for Jazz, either and I can't get enough of it.

I will say this, I really like some of the "Old School" Rappers as actors. Ice T, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, and LL Cool J have all done some good stuff in movies and TV.

Don't worry, man, you aren't alone. I am picky about my Rap, cause there is a lot of ****e out there, but in 89 I saw, LLCoolJ nitro Tour with Slick Rick, De La Soul, EPMD, NWA, Too Short, Big Daddy Kane, always liked wu-tang, IceCube, and Snoop in the 90's, and I don't remember who else. Weren't a lot of white dudes from the midwest into rap yet. It was still taking hold in the St. Louis area. I like a little bit of everything, from every genre, with the exception of Opera, I have tried and just don't care for it, oh and polka, which just plain sucks. That is the great thing about music, there is something for everybody.

All rap is just a forum for people who have no singing talent.

The music is lousy too, mostly made up of SAMPLES of existing songs, or keyboard meanderings.

Rap is not music, imo

I wouldn't really knock rap as a whole and not call it music. I mean, there's so much to consider when talking about a whole genre, and just because the stuff you see on MTV or whatever you hear on the radio sounds horrible (and it truly does), that doesn't means there's not great rap bands out there somewhere.

I use to listen to the mainstream garbage played on the radio and such until I found out there's so much better music out there that doesn't get play time on the radio and tv. I haven't dug into the rap genre as it's not my thing (I'm more into metal), but I can still say and accept it's a type of music, and I honestly believe there is some rapper or some rap group out there that really sounds great. So I don't think it's fair to criticize a whole genre based on what the mainstream believes it should be. In my opinion, today's music industry is just pathetic. D=

I often heard some of the same comments in the 80's when I was listening to my metal music. "Metal is not music. These bands have no singing talent. They can't sing; they only scream."
