[quoteost_uid0="Selvin"]No, this isn't the harlem shake. Watch "Gimme the Light" by Sean Paul. That cannot be the harlem shake.[/quote]

Someone wanna clean up his post for me? I'm not up for it right now. All I got was the first part, which I'll comment on.

Yes there is something wrong with saying it every sentence. Makes them look like pathetic, uneducated morons.

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

You're joking, right? I listened to the song ONCE, and I knew what they were saying.

You want to know songs where one can't figure out what the hell they're saying? Tell me that you immediately knew what the hell Outkast was sayin in "Bombs over Bagdad" (they talk faster than the guys at the end of car commercials) and Sean Paul's "Gimme the Light." (all I could understand was something about a massage, I think).

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

I believe they're talking about abuse in part of it, and how it's often hiden by people that don't want it to be noticed.

What about this, please explain this to me:

In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can't stop a train
Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared
I'll be there, but when I leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin wet
In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat
Hits somersaults without the net
But this'll be the year that we won't forget
One-Nine-Nine-Nine, and brutha anything goes, be whatchu wanna be
Long as you know consequences are given for livin - the fence is
too high to jump in jail
Too low to dig, I might just touch hell - HOT!
Get a life, now they gon' sell
Then I might catch you a spell, look at what came in the mail
A scale and some Arm and Hammer, so grow grid and some baby m

kks its not like its the only thing they say in a song and talk about money cars girls not every rap song is about that.

[Selvin]

True, but I'd have to say 93% of all rap songs have something to do with women, money, and/or cars.

[MasterX05]

who doesnt want money,cars,and girls? It is like the great things in life

[Selvin]

Well, I think that other women wouldn't really need other girls, but that is just the opinion of anybody with a brain.

So money and cars are so great?? Well, I'm sure glad that you're not materialistic like all of the other rappers out there... cough

[quoteost_uid0="MasterX05"]who doesnt want money,cars,and girls? It is like the great things in life[/quote]
They are great things in life. So why do they have to brag about how many women they screw, how many cars they have, and how much money they have? Good for them, but does anyone else care? No.

[MasterX05]

yeah i see what u mean joe its sarting to get pointless but, I cant leave rap alone the game needs me.

[Ludacris]

[quoteost_uid0="KidKrazyShit"]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...[/quote]
Eminem........hum he,s ok yeah but he's getting a lil' on my nerves with his mother and all.........leave he be :biggrin: DMX yeah he got great lyircs.........but U forgot one that tops them all about lyrics that make the most sense...........

NAS Nas always has a different message in every of his songs.......he is better then Eminem and Dmx in my opinion.......anyways

for the Ludacris part....... yeah sure his lyrics are crazy and all but he said it himself........ I make crazy lyrics to make people laugh, music that U listen when driving and U'll sing along with it...... I mean move bitch is a great driving song don't U think? and his name is Ludacris because his lyrics are Ludacris, funny, ridiculous to make ya laugh :biggrin:
