Yeah, if there was no "black" music we'd still be doing the foxtrot and you can forget about the countless legends from rock and roll, jazz, blues, rap and so fourth, is eminem a good rapper? i think so, he sticks to the roots of what rap is supposed to be, writing and composing a song that is about the hardships of life, yes eminem gets boring after awhile. Especially his new album.... i feel it as more of the same, nothing really ground breaking maybe a good laugh here and there... cuase he does poke fun at himself and other people.
I don't know if he would've sold less albums if he was black since i don't really have an opinion on that matter because there are only like 2 black families up here and they seem like very nice people and they don't go around in '64 impalas making symbols with their hands and calling eachother "nigga". What i learned about civil rights and this black and white bullshit in the United states i got from school and the media so you can bet alot of it will be bullshit. anywho... that's my

Yup, I agree with Ed.....Never thought I would say that.....
[quote:13dcd]I probably care about Eminem as much as I care about how Q-Tips are made.[/quote:13dcd]
Q-Tip is like my favourite emcee, He should have never left the tribe.
People that claim Rap isn't a genre, are just demonstrating, and openly acting out, their ignorance.
Do you know how much skill in wordsworth you must have to freestyle?? It's harder to learn to be able to freestyle well for 4 minutes, than it is to hit that high note when singing. Depending on how good you were already. Some people have it, some people don't. Respect it.
There are FOUR elements of HipHop culture:
*Emceeing (Rapping)
*DJing
*Breakdancing
*Graffiti art
They all require a LOT of skill, and A LOT of practise....And they all need each other to survive....When you are saying sh*t about rap, you are saying sh*t about All of the above. They go together as a culture.
I think even if you don't like the music, at least attempt to respect it, and don't EVER generalise.... Refer to who you hate, and what you hate about him, cause most hiphop heads can't stand the people you hate, too. If you don't do that, your just being an ignorant, disrespectful sh*t.
BTW, Think about how much hiphop sub-genre's go with the music, that aren't famous, that you are probably missing out listening to, cause all little girls listen to shit hiphop.
Gangster Rap - Popular
Battle rap
Jazz-rap - part of the jazz rap revolution (A Tribe Called Quest, Typical cats, ugly duckling, the roots)
Old school
true school - half popular (Jurrasic 5, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, de la soul)
new school
bass assault
dirty south rap - half popular (Nappy Roots, Outkast)
east coast rap
west coast rap
poetic rap - artists you don't understand. (encore, aesop rock, mystik) journeymen, roots manuva)
sci-fi rap - anybody that uses very technical lyrics (MHz, Deceptikonz)
raw rap - wu-tang was once considered this.
political rap - was popular (Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash)
religous rap - mostly islamic (Brand Nubian, etc)
Too each his own.

the idiot carries an unloaded gun around too. I live near this idiot and he can leave anytime he wants to and it wont bother me in the least! As far as his music is concerned. I have a dial on my radio and I can switch it at anytime.
