In Reply to: Ever hear rap live? posted by Mike in NJ on October 7, 2003 at 15:04:56:
Live rap today is not just a microphone and DAT tape. Live musicians, often reworking the music. You don't have to go out to a concert; just catch a rapper performing on the Tonight Show or Letterman. On the other hand, a lot of rock bands go out there and perform note-for-note what they created in the studio. Which is the bigger waste for the question of studio versus live? I don't think there's an answer.> Do you actually think that 50 cent thought of putting violin sounds to his big hit? I dont think so.
At least he writes his own lyrics ... so I guess that gives him one up over, say, Frank Sinatra? ;-)
> There is not that much talent in rap music, I dont admire a rapper doing a song that I can see the average person including myself do.
I think your point could be applied to other genres of music. For example, box chords, like what the Ramones play (Johnny hated solos so he didn't do 'em) are something any novice guitar player with two months of practice can learn to do. The Ramones did the same damn thing album after album. Speaking of violins - it wasn't until Phil Spector produced one of their albums that they added strings and stuff. So, is there not much to admire about the music of the Ramones? I think it's the execution that makes the Ramones so much more enjoyable than their copycats, and in spite of their musical simplicity.
> Okay, will today's youth be going to see 50 cent when they're 40 or 50 years old with they're kids!! Ha ha ha ha ha. I dont think so.
Didn't this issue come up every time the Who or the Rolling Stones every time they tour? Who thought they'd last this long, the headlines scream. You never know is my point here.
The music of the Doors moved me when I was young. Now I seem them as silly, pretentious, simplistic and goofy. Well, that doesn't take away from the fact that it moved me during the years I was listening to it. I guess you see the value of music differently than I do, but the fact that it moved me as a young man (even if it doesn't today) is what the pleasure of music is all about.
