If rap artist are untalented then...

[TheShiz]

its not just rap music that has crappy lyrics, it is 99% of pretty much all music.

Ok, I would not mind so much but he did make millions of, well something that does not even rhyme.

I have met people who played guitar for 20, 30 year who are incredible. The best some of them get is playing in their garage or a crappy bar. 50-cent gets shot 100x and that makes him an artist? Hell, even the worst nu-metal or alt bands have to at least play three chords, few notes on a bass and tap the drums. 50-cent can't even rhyme, it's all about image.

its capitolism. for every one of those guitar players, I can find 100 violin/piano virtuosos that aren't making it.
Certain rap artist's only talent might be exploiting a market but don't say they don't have talent. lack musical talent, sure, maybe, but they have talent.

wouldn't rap be more of image? Even if, say, you have one ATOTer that can rap, would the image of a computer geek, rapping about algorithms help them make millions? What is in right now is kiling because coz ya jus dun Curzzz. I listen to rap, but rarely do I find a rap song that I hear to be worth it. I'd say 35% of the rap i listen to because I find the lyrics to be soooo dumb that its funny, and the other 35% its good for working out. Maybe 30% of it, i actually appreciate the lyrics.

It might be just image but image is talent. nobody will pay you the same amount to sing the same lyrics.

Its just like acting. Anybody can read the script but its in the delivery.

Darn, if image is talent I see a lot of talented ghetto-gangstas in Birmingham. They must all be selling out at the concerts, eh? He's right, we can all create better lyrics than 50 IQ, but we can't sell them because we lack connections, we lack a history of drug dealing and getting shot, and we just don't look appealing to the MTV consumers when we're "bouncin'". I'm white, so unless I paint my skin my chances of being a platinum selling rapper are slim. Afterall there are only four white rappers I can think of (beastie boys being three, and they're garbage now). So, I can think if a single white famous rapper.

It isn't so easy now is it?

Just because someone can string several words together that rhyme doesn't make them a musical genius.

My dog can lick his own dick, but that doesn't make him a porn star!

But an objective and open mind can see talent regardless of genre.

If you disregard rap music altogether and say that the artists who write rap music are not talented, then you are just being stubborn or ignorant.

this thread is one BIG sterotype to what rap is. *leaveS*

I think half of ATOT just proved that rap music is simple.
Anyone can talk.

I used to get high and rap all the time.

Big Donny Johnson got a joint in my mouth

Got a fat wad and a big bag of grass

I guess that means poetry is simple too. Anyone can rhyme.

Anyone can talk. It's what you say that is important.

There are thousands of people who can pick up a guitar and sing a song. What differentiates one from the other?

And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't form my opinion of a musical genre around the thoughts and ideas of the people here.

 

[Rock Hydra]

No need to rap about politics. This is generally covered by crap Punk music.

Wtf? Dude you have NO IDEA.

Rappers have talent. May not be the most appreciated talent by they have talent.

Which is why "real", from-the-streets rap, is so much more interesting to listen to than the pre-packaged "pop rap" stuff, even if it is less accessable/understandable to your average listener. (If you're in the Boston era, WERS 88.9FM has some good stuff on, some of it live. They also have a good reggae and trance show too.)

 

[Atomicus]

You wanna bang?
you can't handle this Wang
cuz it is Atomic, super energized
not meant for people who supersize
gotta be tough n' rough
natural Cs not stuffed
wise and beautiful woman so tight tighter than asian
she-hulk tight, no caucasian
still wanna bang?
better be packin diesal hips
steel-plated heat tempered coochi lips
stonewashed skin, hard thick thighs
like my Wang, no, TWICE the size
determination to pump like hell
squat it down with KY-gel
break it apart so you'll scream n' yell
when I bang you might die
from exhaustion, improperventilation
hermorrhaging through rectal mutilation
epileptic seizures from over-stimulation
so lets get it on, lets start the bang
alright, here we go now...
*Whips out da Wang*

<--- my pathetic attempt.... please spare me, 50cent!! 🙁
