any fans of rap music out there?

[soonerbrat]

my cousin got a new iPod Nano and she is completely computer illiterate, so I offered to put some music on it for her. she only wants rap and hip hop because she's gonna use it for working out.

any suggestions? i don't listen to that stuff.

[C&CDean]

Sorry, but "muhfugga, muhfuggah, bitch yo ho, suck my dick while I pop a cap in yo fat *** ho muhfuggah, muhfuggah bling-bling ghetto sound yo" is not good workout music.

I'm just sayin'.

[silverwheels]

I'm guessing since you don't listen to it that you don't know if she listens to good rap or bad rap (yes, there is good rap). I'll just throw these names out there...


A Tribe Called Quest
Chamillionaire
2pac
Dr. Dre
Eminem (Slim Shady LP or Marshall Mathers LP)
The Roots
Jurassic 5
Saigon
Nas
Mobb Deep

Um, Stan?

You should have seen the look on one of my kid's face the other day. We were driving down Highway 9, and I open the box between the front seats in my wife's 4-Runner. There's about 4-5 homemade CDs that had magic markered titles. One I remember was "Ballah's Mix." Anyhow, I stick the first CD in and it literally starts with "****, ****, stand up......." or some such garbage. So, I roll down the window, eject the CD, and frisbee it out on Highway 9. My kid freaks and goes "that ain't my CD!" I said "I know." I then stuck the rest of them one-by-one into the player. As soon as the whole "****, ****, muhfuggah" started up I'd eject it and toss it.

So, if you're into that kind of horsedung, you may find some really good CD's on Highway 9 between 72nd and 120th.

Normally, I'm not much for litter, but this is freaking AWESOME!

I never thought I'd have to stand up for rap music, as it is probably the genre I like the least out of all the music I listen to, but rap is a lot more than just "****, ****, muthafugga." Only white kids listen to that kind of rap.

Seriously, listen to A Tribe Called Quest or The Roots.

[yermom]

sadly it doesn't even sound like she likes good rap ;)

i like a lot of Jay-Z and Biggie, and the Beastie Boys, some Dr. Dre and Snoop, never really cared for Tupac

I like Nelly, but I'm sure he's no longer popular.

[yermom]

i kinda liked Nelly's early stuff, like Country Grammar, but the newer overproduced crap is lame

[yermom]

and for the record, like SW, Rap isn't really my thing, i listen to more Country at the moment than Rap i think

I have one CD of his and I have no idea what the name of it is. Cedric the Entertainer is on a couple songs though if that helps. :)

[GottaHavePride]

Actually, I'd tend to go with dolemite's list. Mos Def has earned some major respect from me - very intelligent dude, and doesn't rely on shocking the listeners with endless profanity.

Eminem is about the only rap I will listen to. I'm just not crazy about the genre.

Instead of some rap, put some good classical music on there. People under the age of 30 all need to listen to more classical music.

How the ever living **** did this thread get to classical music? I haven't been in the SO long enough, I guess.

[GottaHavePride]

Danny Elfman was ripping off Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration" when he wrote the music for "Batman".

[Harry Beanbag]

I haven't listened to classical in many years, but all of it is 1 billion times better than any rap song.

[GottaHavePride]

Charles Ives invented "sampling".

[soonerbrat]

classical? classic rock?

yeah right. she'd flip out.

[mdklatt]

i listen to more Country at the moment than Rap i think

Long-haired hippy who drives a Subaru and listens to country music--I think I'm more confused than you obviously are.

:D

[Stanley1]

I'm not saying the below list doesn't have a place in rap, but I doubt she'd like any of it. She probably wants the more commercialized stuff.

Dr. Dre
Jay Z

Young Jeezy
Nelly
Eminem

Also, I would have said OutKast, but they've become more pop than rap...

Whew, I'm 32. Turn up the White Zombie, baby.

That's why I'd say throw the Mos Def on there - rap you need a dictionary to follow. the dude rhymes some big freaking words.

i don't listen to a lot of country, but i just kinda discovered Johnny Cash

mostly it's 90's Seattle grunge, Zeppelin and White Stripes

So, I guess it's been settled then. Your little relative has **** for taste in music. Do her a favor and just tell her to load her own crap.

Oh, and come to think of it, I second Dean's opinion - if she can't figure out how to load songs on an iPod she's in trouble.

[silverwheels]

iTunes basically does all of the work itself. All she has to do is rip CDs or buy albums from the iTunes store (not pirate music, because that's illegal and morally wrong ;) ) into a music folder, and iTunes will find them and put them into its library. Then she can make a playlist from there and it'll update.

[Octavian]

classical? classic rock?

yeah right. she'd flip out.

You should help her out and introduce her to some new stuff. How about some good mellow wuss rock?

Coldplay
The Shins
Counting Crows
Death Cab

Its more jogging-type music but you might give it a try

[yermom]

Oh, and come to think of it, I second Dean's opinion - if she can't figure out how to load songs on an iPod she's in trouble.

i hope George Clinton made some serious cash off of The Chronic... his **** is ALL OVER that album

it was basically theft, i was listening to some of his stuff, and i already knew all the songs between Dre and Snoop

Beano let me borrow one a few weeks ago and I have to admit I've used the headphones to plug into my laptop to listen to CDs, but I haven't even tried the whole ipod thingie.

Maybe not, but I bet you could figure it out after about 5 minutes of messing around with one. Or 30 seconds of reading instructions. ;)

So what exactly should we be listening to?

I absolutely HATE it when people say "you have no taste in music". Just b/c I like rap, and it "entertains" me, doesn't mean I think its as "artistic" as another form of music that may or may not entertain me.

[silverwheels]

Stan, you have no taste in music. ;)

Geto Boys...sorry for the misspelling. I always thought Grand Master Flash's "The Message" was the ghetto anthem of the 80s and Geto Boys' "Mind Playing Trick On Me" was the ghetto anthem of the 90s. Both reflect the tough everyday existence of inner city living.

Melo, Marshall Mathers is crap...and you'd be better served listening to Esham.

Dean, your view on this is always amusing since we like some of the same music, (quality blues) not everyone is the current flavor of the genre...and it's part of the reason that I have so much hate for the RIAA.

For those who like classical, there's a person in my friends list on myspace who for the past few years has incorporated classically trained musicians in on his work, including performing live with an orchestra backing in the past.

Oh and Stanley, Mike Jones is exactly what is wrong with the industry...well Mike Jones and those Brokeback Mountainers G-Unit.

Oh, and the Nelly CD that you guys were talking about earlier was Country Grammar.

That reminds me of a story from high school. I worked at a local restaurant and the owners wife thought she could sing. I always saw these casette tapes for sale with her picture on them, but I never saw anybody buy one. One night I was rather curious to what she sounded like...I asked the boss man if she was any good (BIG mistake). He told me to take one...so I did. I listened to it on the way home and laughed SO FRIGGIN HARD ALL THE WAY HOME. I did not destroy the tape though. The next day, after school, I was driving through downtown with my best friend in the passenger seat. Without a warning, I reached down and placed that damn tape into the tape player in my car. My best friend listened for about 20 seconds, it took all I had not to start busting up laughing, I remained serious. He didn't say one damn word, as he slowly reached down, ejected the tape, and sent it flying across the pavement of downtown. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
