It's a 2 way street. can we see a video of you rapping, please, pretty please. I cant rap. I wish I could. That's why I said it actually does take skill to take a crap load of lyrics and make it flow well with a beat, while not sounding like an idiot. It's easy to listen to someone like Eminem and think its not hard to do and takes no ability, until you sit down and try to do it yourself and end up sounding like a clown. Tell me then it doesn't take skill. We agree on something? Wow.. It's really hard to do. I love rap. I have since I was around 20 in the mid-90s. Im not talking about brainless gangbanger rap, although some of that I like. Not much of the modern gang stuff though. I would always rap in the car while listening to it just because it's fun. Some of them are very smart writing really clever lyrics about world issues with complex rhyming schemes, just like a poet would. It's definitely not easy to do. Putting all those lyrics together is hard enough, and then to make all of that flow well over a beat just takes a certain ability. If you dont have it and try to do it you'll end up sounding really ridiculous. Ed from Live tried to do it and it was horrendous. And we know Geddy tried and that was a joke too. Listen to this crap. I dont think this is as corny as Roll The Bones which is literally the worst rapping Ive ever heard, but this is still terrible because he has no idea how to sound cool doing it. It sounds so forced. Who Fing cares if rap takes talent. Balancing ten grapes on your nose also takes talent and I don't see appreciation threads for that. We can still hate things that take talent to do. Lots of people hate prog, but concede that it takes a monstrous amount of talent to play it. And for the record, Geddy's rap is hilarious, and exactly what they meant it to be - a parody of rap. Were just having a discussion...chill out? Anyways, yes I find that most mainstream rap is complete and utter shit while underground has some truly talented rappers. I love the rap on Roll The Bones, the lyrics are pretty clever and are more complex than 99.9% of radio rap. I just felt the need to post a reality check after Trenken posted his high-and-mighty rap-defending rant. You mean the same way you deride rap whenever it's mentioned anywhere on the forum?
