gortiz Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Popular country music on the radio today is no different then "the backstreet boys" or "the spice girls." Its horrible. Being a musician I can honestly say that muiscally and lyrically it is no different then the above bands. It just has a different name. The worst part about it, is that it does ZERO justice to the real country played back in the day, i.e. Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and anything played on Mountain Stage radio show. Its sad man. I feel the same about hip hop. Ludacris, and the like could never hold a candle to KRS-1 and even Biggie. Its sad because Hip Hop was on its way to being such a creative form of music, and then it hit a HUGE WALL. I blame M.C. Hammer, Fresh Prince, Puffy, and all of those that took away the underground edge hip hop had ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Rap isnt music. Back in the day, in the early 1900's people said that the guitar wasn't a lead insturment and that it sounded horrible being played any louder than any other instrument. Rap is music. Some rap is not. But a lot of it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Mostly no, but there are some exceptions... Old school kenny rogers, and I can't but help to sing along to "Friends in low places" by garth brooks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Rap isnt music. Go check out: The Roots Mos Def Talib Kweli Blackstar (combination of the above two) Jurassic 5 Del tha Funkee Homosapien Hieroglyphics Then tell me "rap" isn't music. Just by labeling it "rap" I can tell you haven't even scratched the surface of the genre. I agree that 99% of the crap on the radio today is NOT music.

HOF44 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I myself don't like rap, but it is music. One day all you rap lovin whippersnappers will be telling your kids how great it is and how awful that junk they listen to is. Which will result in the kids obligatory eye roll.

Mr. Nostril Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sorry man, I just dont agree.I listen to it sometimes, I enjoy some of it (mostly older stuff), I just dont think it's music. It's an artform in itself. Closer to poetry than music. How about in the future you say something like. "I like rap, but I don't consider it to be music. I think that it's an artform that's closer to poetry than it is music?" It more accurately states your position, it doesn't make you immediately sound like an idiot, it isn't as likely to incite angry responses, and people can argue against your main point without going through a mandatory series of 3 posts before you explain what you mean.

Rypien 91 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I love country music. I grew up on it. My grandparents was always listening to it. Lately, I have been in a older country music mood. Just started liking Cash. One of my all-time fav. artist is Conway Twitty aka "A song's best friend." He has some good music. Good beat, easy to sing along to. A lot of today's country is very watered down. I am sick of Tim and Faith, Shania and others like them. Their music is horrible to listen to. Also, if you get the chance listen to Jim Reeves. Smooth voice and some great songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiaredskin Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yes. But I mostly like old Country (except for John Anderson--Seminole Wind). Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
