A bit disturbing, sure, but just funny on the whole to me. I'd like to think that, but MarbleHornets went viral from the get-go while some of these videos* have been around for years.. He's 15 now and there's some footage of when he was 10.. Ugh.. There would be no motive in staging all of this, plus the websites/businesses she runs as well as local news reports she's appeared on.. There's no explaining those.. But hey, skepticism can be applied anywhere... LOL WTF TIM Edited May 23, 2011 by Kenneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 QUOTE (RUSHHEAD666 @ May 22 2011, 10:09 PM) QUOTE (Tommy Sawyer @ May 22 2011, 01:06 PM) I don't think so. Rap sucks! I mean, I don't really care about you talking about your personal life over a fake drum beat with no real instruments! Without instruments, there is no music! You're stupid! I might be showing my age here but the old school rap from the late Seventies and Early Eighties is brilliant. Once Public Enema, I mean Enemy came into the stream it was pretty much over for me, although I did enjoy the first Easy Earl, I mean E cd. Liked the NWA shit too. After that forget it. But let's back up a bit. The old school stuff was great. I'm talking about groups like Grandmaster Flash, Sugar Hill Gang, RUN DMC, Whodini, early LL COOL J and of course the Beastie Boys. Rap in the modern age is pure shit. There is no hope for this genre of garbage. Signed, THE KING OF ROCK! Please pick up "Raising Hell" by RUN DMC ASAP! RIP JAM MASTER JAY! See, this is something else I don't get, and this isn't just about rap. It doesn't make any sense to say that everything new from any particular genre is and always will be terrible. Musicians aren't all connected to some big hive mind. There wasn't some memo that got sent out to everyone 20 years ago telling everyone to STOP BEING GOOD NOW. Out of the thousands and thousands of individuals making music in any genre, it's basically guaranteed that someone somewhere is making something that's as good as the old stuff. That applies to rap, rock, country, jazz, whatever. So next time someone wants to complain about how all the new music sucks, maybe they should consider that the problem isn't the music, it's you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I've never been a fan, but clearly the genre has its fans. I'll likely never be one myself if I'm not one already. I don't hate it, but I don't ever see myself driving around to "dope beats" either. Some of the lyrical schemes are clever, but I'd rather read them than listen to them. If it all dropped off the earth tomorrow it wouldn't impact me one bit. Edited May 23, 2011 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Lol, of course it's music. Some of the better ones are actually skilled, intelligent poets, despite how they look or dress or how you want to judge them. It's not easy to make this stuff fit well within a beat, and still have people be able to move their head to it. You go try and write something like this and tell me this is easy to do. KILLAH PRIEST - One Step Early natives related to throwns of david Captured by some patriots, and thrown on slave ships They stripped us naked, while they wives picked they favourite Lives were wasted, in the hands of the hated Driven from the garden [garden], now we starvin' in the martyring sodom They call it harlem, wordly problems got us at the bottom The earth crisis, and the righteous grab their ice picks Seekers like us for our rices, I stay in ciphers Our live is, connected to second son of isaacs, which had a tight grip On the heels of his brother, revealed to his mother The elders who served the younger, words heard in thunder Down from under, rose and fled to grow in hunger, now it's cold in summer To slow your slumbers, behold a number, 600, 6 and 3 score The same as he saw, who ate his heat raw, in the time before They climbed aboard a dinosaur, information held behind the doors We came from the atmosphere, the physical trapped us here Then they gave us crack and beer, in the back of the stairs Please adapt your ears, add or subtract the years, and form the unwise And watch the sunrise from sunset, none-slep, one flesh, one breath.. Devils morale, they caught us playing with the gold marbles We wrote novels, now we live life in the bottle, before the devil sold me To the unholy, because my father told me I lived like a monks of lowly, lowly, but lowly? The president just ordered the navy to hit the borders of haiti Slaughtered babies from the waters of euphrates Maybe they send germs that polluted our sperm And made us live with circumcize in the serpent eyes And told us certain lies, and each day a servant dies But in the halls of farrow the walls are narrow And religion is like a prison for the seekers of wisdom Now free them, lets feed um', feed um'... They took the first book of jacob to jamaica Promised us 40 achers and a mule, treated like an animal Understand the jewel, brought to the 50 states Deuteronomy 28, verse 68, it all relates, 1555 is when we first arrived We tell jokes wish um' get high, and watch the fish fry...

tjtull Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Of course it's music. Just because someone doesn't like it doesn't make it less musical. Hell, I don't like C&W or Polka music but it's still music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 none of this will likely change any minds, but if you're interested... first off, I'm not a rap/hip hop 'fan', I'm a music fan - I'm coming at the genre from that frame of mind I tend not to like anything on the radio/tv/ads etc that have anything to do with rap - and if that is your sum-total exposure to the genre, I'm not surprised in the least if you 'hate' it one of the first 'off the radar' rap songs that ever stuck with me was Common Sense's 'Take It EZ' - it was a track on a sampler CD that was being handed out to everyone after a club show in '92 I had nothing invested in the CD, so I listened to the whole thing on the ride home without any expectations not a single rap/hip hop song or album was in my collection at that time, so I had nothing but pop culture references to judge the song against... and I found I liked it it sounded nothing like the garbage I'd been exposed to on the radio - it was funny (something I really came to appreciate in the genre later), well-produced and addictive... as soon as it was over I wanted to spin it again it didn't hurt that none of my friends (rap/non-rap fans alike) had ever heard of Common Sense - it became my own 'private' track (as a Rush fan for more than a decade in '92, I was used to enjoying music no one else was familiar with) so I realize this is a completely different time/age/experience etc, but - if you can - without expectations, check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I used to be a pretty big hip hop fan growing up in the 90s, but not so much now. I still discover the odd new song here and there that I dig, but there's so much crap that I don't bother with most of it. I still love Outkast though.
