[quoteost_uid0="G_GUNDAM"]lol natakoru but look at the facts. what types of songs make it in the the charts at number 1. either rap and r & b. hhhhhmmm can someone tell me why ??? lol :laughlong:[/quote]
First off, get my name right. it's "Nantuko", I don't know where you pulled "Natokoru" out of...

And not all rap/r&b songs are #1. There are a HELLUVA lot more Rock songs (rock, as in ALL subcategories of rock) making #1 than rap and r&b. Rap is recycled music at the best, with monotone, boring beats and lyrics so terrible that I think I'd rather listen to the sound of myself taking a ######## than listen to rap. Plus, making rap songs requires little to no talant whatsoever. Rock requires a lot more work, and a lot more talant. It's not the same, repetitive constant beat, but constantly CHANGING beats with guitar and drums. And guitar (bass too) is THE best instrument out there, it requires the most amount skill to play. How many songs consist of only guitar solos and vocals? A lot, because the guitar is the most powerful sounding instrument out there. Do you ever hear drum solos with vocals, and nothing else? No, because by itself, a drumset blows. But guitars are much different. I'd love to see a rapper pick up a guitar and play something, or even carry a tune for 5 seconds without making me want to rip my ears off.

I think the only two rappers I've heard that actually sit down, and think if lyrics, is Eminem and DMX.

Every other rapper I've heard sounds pretty much like this "yo what up b? I rape a ho, I bust a cap, I got mad bling bling yo fosho. ya'll can't be touchin mah $hit, I be to hot fo dat. I got platinum teeth I think dat make mah cool...but I actually have low self esstem(sp) and no values :biggrin: "

Most of Eminem and DMX's songs are about their family, emotions, and problems a.k.a. a rock band.

I mean, look at some off these rappers.

Ludacris- "move btich, get out the way" dubya tee eff is that all about? How much talent does it take to come up with that?
Nelly- "It's getin hot in here, so take off all your clothes" wow....very very talented....pathetic..
Master P-"make'em say ugh" ugh!?!?!? ya gotta be kiddin me...
Jay Z-"Big pimpin, spendin cheese" He shouldn't be aloud to live after that one.
The list goes on and on...

What's up with them always walking around with their hand on their crotch? Is that the new, cool thing to do now a days? Fags...all of them...

[quoteost_uid0="KidKrazypoop"]Master P-"make'em say ugh" ugh!?!?!? ya gotta be kiddin me...[/quote]
Master P? More like Master P.U.!
The only time he "makes me say ugh" is when I'm about to barf at listening to his horrible lyrics.
(I like to make jokes too)

lol, anywho...
I think that Eminem and DMX are ok. They sing about real things, so I think they are better than all of the rest. I'm still not a big fan of rap, so I'd take SOAD over both of 'em anyday.

well like i said some people understand rap music some dont
but if i may ask can one of you please explain some of these rock songs

chop suey by system of a down
by the way by the red hot chilli peppers
never gonna stop me by rob zombie
and i can think of plenty more.....to me they make no sense whatsoever....
and i do agree that guitars rock but just because a rap artist doesnt play an instrument doesnt mean they cant..
its hard enough trying to make sure your words have rythem.
and if you dont think its hard you try to rap and play a guitar....
its much easier to sing or *scream* like so many other rock stars do while playing a guitar.....trust me i tried them all.


oh and i really cant explain the crouch situation...but i dont think its cool at all.

those songs are easy to understand. just look at it from different perspectives.

no the hell it aint look at chopsuey. A friend who like that group had to write the lyrics down for me, just to know what they are saying.

Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup)
Grab a brush and put a little
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In, my, self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, DIE

This makes no since and plus the name of the song, im always like were they get that from? What does it mean? ???
now look at this still fly by big tymers

Gator Boots, with the pimped out Gucci suit
Ain't got no job, but I stay sharp
Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent
but thats ok, cause im still fly
got a quarter tank gas in my new E-class
But that's alright cause i'm gon' ride
got everything in my moma's name
but im hood rich da dada dada da

whicth u think makes more sence.

If you knew anything about rock, you'd no SOAD's reputation. They're a funny band. But I bet you won't catch them saying "nigga" in every damn sentence of their lyrics.
