I've never understood the appeal of hip-hop. This hasn't helped. :)

i still don't get why its apperently okay to call someone nigga.. but not er..
i really think neither one is appropiate, Bill cosby was right.. |
I'm not a huge fan of rap, but I just listened to "Straight Outa Compton" for the first time in five or ten years and it was still fantastic.

He used nigga 87 times in the song.

Don't you mean "Straight Outta Locash?" I think I'll make a rap using no words other than Ho, Bitch, Nigga, Nine, & Dead. |

I like rap, but haven't been able to listen to anything new since the whole "Gangsta" element came into it. Run-DMC, Whodini, Eric B... That was it to me, then I just couldn't get into anything after about '88. The last rap album I really enjoyed was Pain In Full...

what does "Nep Town" mean?

I was wondering about that one myself.. |
I think it is a misprint/misunderstood lyric. "Nap Town" is Indianapolis. I'm guessing that's what he meant.
|
never heard of nap town meaning Indy.. guess I am out of the hip-hop loop :(

Some extremely white people here use this, also. *snickers* |
My roomate has 15's in the back of his Jeep, so as a result I hear this song quite often among other Lil' Jon songs for the fact that his shit hits so damn hard. :)
|
here's some real hip-hop you all should listen to.

I think it hit the pinnacle for me personally with Dr. Dre's The Chronic. I was brand new to Los Angeles when that was still popular and I was just like the dude in Office Space. Blasting it until somebody could hear me then I would roll up the windows and mouth to myself..."rollin down the street smokin endo sippin on gin and juice laid back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind" then when the people were gone, I would go gansta and roll the window back down.
Apparently I've aged since then. :) |
Ah Lil Jon's beats are dope. He doesn't rap he just yells... Jay Z is not my favorite at all... My boi Haze, T.I., Young Buc... the rest pretty much such... Oh i forgot B.G., Lil Wayne, and Trick Daddy.

what happened to Big John?
|
Quote:
And this was the dude you wanted to perform at the SB halftime???? Shame on you. |
I have to agree that Straight outta Compton is a good album, and that my rap days dissapeared with the last good Public Enemy album.

Big John
Big John Every mornning at the mine, you could see him arrive. He stood 6 foot 6, weighed 245. Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip. And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John. Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John Nobody seemed to know where John called home He just drifted into town and stayed all alone. He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John. Somebody said he came from New Orleans, Where he got into a fight over a Cajun Queen. And a crash and a blow from a huge right hand, sent a Lousiana fella to the promise land. Big John Big John Big bad John Big John Then came the day at the bottom of the mine, when a timber cracked and men started crying. Minors were praying, and hearts beat fast and everybody thought they had breathed thier last cept' John. Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell, walked a giant of a man that the minors knew well. Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan, and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John And with all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove. Then a minor yelled out, 'theres a light up above!'. And 20 men scrambled from a 'would be' grave now theres only one left down there to save, Big John. With jacks and timbers, they started back down, then came that rumble way down in the ground. And as smoke and gas smelched out of that mine, everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Big John. Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John Now they never re-opend that wortheless pit, they just placed a marble stand in front of it. These few words are written on that stand, 'At the bottom of this mine, lies one Hell of a man, Big John' Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John. |

i'm pretty much the most down with Kanye, Jay-Z, Flip, 50, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Ludacris, but I like a lot of those like Lil' Wayne, Trick, and LJ has his moments. TI is nothing compared to Flip... 7-1-3... |
Lil Jon is horrifically annoying. I understand the appeal after the first song comes out, then MAYBE the second one. But when he's in the background screaming in 1/2 the rap songs played on commercial radio, then I cannot understand how people love someone that has become a caricature of themselves in a matter of minutes.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Brilliant! |
What I commend is that he'll get people to buy this even though all his verse is just repeating himself. It's almost as if he's so uncreative at times.
Give me old school...Gangstar, DeLaSoul, Tribe, EPMD. Oh, and the ATL used to rule with Outkast and Luda, but Lil Jon is just killing me. |

2. The way you hang onto my every word is a little disconcerting and feels almost stalker-ish. This is the second or third time in recent memory that a little silly side comment of mine that I didn't even remember was remembered by you. Kind of scary. |

Like how you view nearly every comment I make on an internet forum of a bunch of guys (and gals) bullshitting in a negative and spiteful light? Lighten up, Francis, it's all a silly game. |

Chris Rock has a whole skit about that from Never Scared and it's hilarious. As for the song. look, I can find you lots of music that glorifies all kinds of crap that isn't all that appealing or that is just downright vulgar. Is it as popular or as mainstream of the self-proclaimed "King of Crunk?" No, it 's not. But it seems to me that people often use hip-hop as a proxy for "see, that's what wrong with those colored people over there." And I dunno, I tend to think that we blow it all out of proportion. I think Lil' Jon gets way too much airplay. But somebody thinks he's appealing, maybe because they like scaring the hell out of people by putting someone like him on the map. I dunno. But I don't 10 years from now, we'll still be talking about him. Like, don't expect him to cross-over like say, an Ice Cube or Queen Latifah..or even Snoop Dogg..into movies and such. |
