In Reply to: You're wrong ... 95% of rap (so far) is crap posted by Richard BassNut Greene on October 7, 2003 at 14:48:17:
I don't get into too much rap music as I would rather hear about love and the struggle to find it than hearing about how much money some kid made in the dope game or hear the "MF" expletive 47 times in 4 minutes. Some of it is alright once in a blue moon if you like to dance in a disco. I do like 2pac, but that is because his lyrics were insighful and often colourful about the experiences in his life. Yes he does use the "MF" expletive and some other course language, but there are a few songs like "Dear mama" where he does not curse in such a way as to make the song offensive. Most rap is poorly produced. I have never produced a record, but those rap enginers sure could be the blueprint for the book titled" how not to produce a record" If your target audience wants to shake the windows in the car, why not have deep bass instead of bloated mid bass that is baddly in need of compression? It would do a much better job. Also a band would be a nice touch instead of a guy spining a record and a guy talking. It seems like now any kid with an old 808 drum machine and a turntable can be a rap star. The worst concert I have ever seen in my life was a free Outkast concert I went to a few years back with a few friends who liked rap. It was laughable, 3 guys talking and a guy spinning a record. And these guys won a Grammie?? It might also be nice to write your own music, like most artist do, instead of slicing a piece out of a popluar song and or lifting the entire song. Puff daddy and the fresh prince seem to nice job of taking a song, stripping the original lyrics out and rapping over it. Of course rap started out like this, as "rapper's delight" was just Chic's "goodtimes" without the vocals. I can see covering a song, but that is a whole other can of worms....
