I didn't realize there was a "rule" to hip-hop (didn't get the memo). I guess I'm more of a trip-hop/electro-hop? kind of guy...

i meant that lyrics is/was supposed to be the heart of the rap-song.
 
if u butcher the lyrics or put in lyrics which have no meaning, what's left?

I agree with both of you especially more so the 'there no definition' exactly people are free to do what they want. Walking around trying to figure out where the 'intellectual' part in everything won't get you anywhere. Different strokes for different folks some people would look at a giraffe and try to gauge the height by eye, me I'd rather just look at the giraffe. Everyone has there own definition of deep I've heard a couple 'deep' songs from Wayne. I like your sig by the way Dream.....but you should pay attention to mine 

 

[TheDreamthinker]

with me that would be:
 
for me it is harder to look at the giraffe than trying to gauge it.
for me gauging - leads to fascination -  leads to beauty ..... for me.
 
what do u try to say with ur sig?
shutting yourself out from any complaints?
i don't understand.

Rap is your generation's hair metal. Ten years out, this discussion will be as silly as debating the artistic merits of Dee Snyder.

Hair metal was around for a few years, and hiphop has been around since the 70s and is not going anywhere.
 
If you don't like the genre, why post in a thread about it? On another note, your posts in this thread clearly show you lack of knowledge about the genre, maybe you should stick to classical music.

I just saw his new clip with Rihanna.
I have to admit I watched it for Rihanna's outfit. The music, imho, was horrible

Thanks for the warning my fellow Benelux citizen...
 
Am I wrong in thinking that this thread devoted to this particular artist makes no sense? If you like his works listen to them and enjoy them. Personally I do not appreciate his works enough so I just enjoy the silence or do something else. If I want interesting music I will start digging since most of today's music has been done before.
 
For those who see use in this 'it is' versus 'it is not' etcetera, may your day be pleasant.

Rihanna sure looked smokin' hot for shooting that video 2am in the morning. I think I just had a slight seizure after watching that video.
