rap

A form of music which involves talking over a "ringtone" and requires a great talented musician to sing in it for it to sell eg/ Phil Collins, Elton John, The Doors etc. These musicians write and sing the basis of many famous rap songs and are often "ignored" because they think that the rapper did all the important stuff when all they did was "talk". Rappers often rip off melodies from classic songs and claim it for their own. Eg/ Spandeau Ballet's "True", Martika's "toy soldier", etc. The main reason why they cant make up their own tunes is that they are talent less and they know that their work is shit so instead they used other people's work to make more money. Many people claim that rap has “unique” beats and rhythms and requires talent to make these beats. For Goodness sake its just a drum machine doing some bass and snare loops. What’s so amazing about that? You want real beats, listen to those amazing drummers that could play on odd time signatures and makes the song better than it was. Also, Many fans of rap thinks would try to defend their "music" by telling us to listen to old rappers like 2pac because he writes songs about important stuff, but doesn’t everyone do that? It’s nothing special. Many different artists from different genre of music also writes about important stuff except that they use INSTRUMENTS and they make their own amazing MELODIES and LYRICS. (that’s right people, there’s lyrics in other types of music as well. Much more clever and original than 2pac’s or other rappers for that matter. Remember that great lyrics (or even poems) don’t have to rhyme.) When 2pac writes about the problems of the world, Every one is like “Wow, he’s musically talented” but when really talented great black musicians like Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley writes about the problems of the world, no-one gives a damn. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a racist. I admire Black people. They have so much potential to do anything in this world, even being musicians . But I dislike how RAP music is destroying their image in this modern society. I don’t watch music shows anymore because of the filthy clips that these rappers produce. Rap and Rappers are a disgrace.
