mikel Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just an observation, but if the OP is so into Rap, and how good it is, why feel the need to defend it? Its simply another music genre. We all have likes and dislikes, its what makes the world go round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess because it is one of those genres that comes in for a lot of bashing, especially from older classic rock fans, not necessarily here but in many other music forums it does.. IMO on BC the general bias is towards classic rock while threads on funk, dance/electronica and rap are generally few and short lived.

I was once informed that rap was particularly suited to the French language because “All the syllables are the same length”, this may be horse poo but the person who told me was heavily into French rap.

It works well in French, much better than in UK English. I'm a big fan of classic 80s-90s US hip hop but IMO UK rap/Grime sucks big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 We have a number of tenants who claim to be Rappers....they don't have anything to say that hasn't been said many times before...in fact they steal whole lines from existing tunes claiming them as their own. IMO Rap lost it's way long ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Seems like some folk can't cope with two positive threads about rap at the same time. Guess I revived this at the wrong moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Personally I think rap tends to divide people along generational lines. My parents can't stand it, they still seem to see it as some some of unmusical upstart fad that will eventually fade away to be replaced by 'real music'. Where as for me growing up in the 80s, it's always been part of the mainstream and there have been rap/hip hop/whatever albums in my music collection since I was a child.
