I am white, I listen to RAP, good RAP, which doesn't include Soulja Boy snap, so don't call me a hater. It's a hit and it will lose popularity eventually, proving it isn't worth much as real music.

i am a fairly big fan of certain hip-hop, but i cannot stand crunk or miami bass or rap that focuses on beats and bass rather than lyrical content. there is no purpose to this music as far as i am aware; there is no depth or artistic merit.

I think the same way.

 

[Cruelty]

yeah. because an art based entirely around sounds is supposed to be more about lyrics, and a message, than the actual sound being produced.

 

[PeteD2S]

My definition of music is poetry with sounds. If "Crank that" or whatever it is called, is poetry then I don't exist. If he wants to do a club music, he shouldn't have those lyrics in his song. It's noise, ruins the beat.

I'll just say this about the controversy, if you don't understand a music genre...shut the fuck up.

someone obviously doesn't like a little healthy debate :3

spoilers: i've looked further into snap music than just this song. it bores me to no end.

I disagree there's been a few stars since then, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, T.I. G-unit they're the best rappers out there right now...

you're kidding, right. please tell me you're kidding.

yeah. because an art based entirely around sounds is supposed to be more about lyrics, and a message, than the actual sound being produced.

if the focus isn't on lyrics, why does it have lyrics? that's the one thing i don't understand about this. if the focus were on sound it would be entirely sound. why have something as pronounced as vocals if you're meant to completely ignore them? as someone who listens to more instrumental music than music with vocals, i cannot understand that.

 

[Cruelty]

so if music isn't focused entirely around the lyrics, they don't need to even be saying anything at all? sure. that's a great argument.

 

[bojjenclon]

Cool song but that guy can't rap!

you aren't backing up your argument very well, bucko.

 

[Vash]

I find the lyrics and his voice very annoying. God, I hate this song so much! My young sister listens to this everyday T_T

Just to be a prick...
So, like, if I sit here and play Apocalyptica thats not music? Cause, you know, I don't see any poetry there. No lyrics. Well, the only songs I have with lyrics have all been covers, so obviously I'm not talking about those.

Music is expression.
If the expression is about the feel, then lyrics have nothing to do with it. Clearly the expression is about the feel. The dance, the bounce, the hook. That's all that is meant to be expressed, the other things are just filler to get that feel out there.

And yet the only place I've heard this song is when I opened it on this thread... Am I that removed from high school so many years back that I'm now "old" enough to say words like "hip" and "phat" out of context and believe I'm both "hip" and "phat" and "jiggy with it". Should I start pulling my pants up above my navel and grow ear hairs because I'm so far removed from what apparently is a popular teeniebopper swing?

EDIT:
I have the strange feeling threw paranoia that my earlier posts were taken out of context, or were merely displayed by me in a wrongful light. If I wasn't clear I'm jabbing at the idea of a genre being killed by a subgenre or popular group/song/motif of the mome.

 

[Cruelty]

its times like this i realize that music is serious business... on the interweb :{

so how do you feel about bands who's lyrics just dont make any sense, like Electric Six, who even says their lyrics dont mean a damn thing?

better yet, why doesn't this apply to .. say, guitar or bass? If the focus isn't on the bass, why's it there? If the focus isn't on the drums, why're they there?

or does that little rule only apply to lyrics and singing?

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

To compliment the core expression.
Lyrics to a song whose beef is the beat, are the compliment to the beat. Aint nothing more.

God this topic sucks. Learn to debate.

Actually, fuck, I should just make a rule against musical debate, since it apparently all drags everyone down. Oh and don't forget that someone felt the need to fucking drag in the assinine 'YOU JUST DON'T LIKE IT CAUSE YOU'RE WHITE' as well. This is a fucking failure of a topic.

Oh and my personal thoughts on the song? Garbage. Pure fucking garbage. The whole thing just pisses me off. Do I have a huge explanation of why? No. Do I respect people that go out to clubs, get high, and dance to this? No.

I knew someone would say that, because I know I didn't express myself well. What I really mean't was that if the music has vocals, atleast the vocals should be good, not this stupid crap shit "rap" that makes absolutely no sense, as Andy said, garbage. I love instrumental music, so don't get me wrong.

OH U


The problem there is that music brings difference of opinion. difference of opinion brings debate. you might as well just put a stop to music discussion as a whole if you want the music debates to stop. Its pretty impossible to have an intelligent music discussion where everyone just gets along, unless everyone has the same exact music taste.

Somehow arguments in music get twice as bad as arguments over fucking religion. Explain to me how it's impossible to have a civil debate. Can I not say 'this music's lyrics don't make the most sense, I'm not a fan of having lyrics when they're pointless', and not have it responded to with 'LOL U FUCKING RTARD THE LYRICS ARE THERE BECAUSE YOU CAN SING ALONG NOT FOR ARTSY FARTSY FAGGOTRY'? Every topic I see about a genre or song ends up like this, it's fucking stupid.

Also this song seems to me to represent that little societal group of people that glorify gangs and alcohol and stupid shit. Which is why I dislike it. Also it promotes listening to it loudly, which is annoying as shit when you're stuck in traffic and some jackass has this song turned up to maximum volume right next to you with his windows open. EDIT oh and did I mention he's singing along making stupid gestures too? Yeah because he is. Half the time there's other people there doing it too.

 

[PK8]

This song = fucking annoying. Wow, I sound so emo here but who gives a shit. In school, almost on a daily basis, some kid would just pump up the damn volume to this song even when he is right next to me. I'm not deaf dammit! What's worst? Some kid in the neighborhood would also put the volume on full in their cars.

Edit: This song makes me want to say this phrase I associate talentless artists and bands with. Talentless pieces of shit.
