Favorite rap tunes - Page 2

This is a simple one. -NONE can't stand any of it.

Bad poetry over stolen "samples" Do ANY play any instruments at all? Don't like the messages in general, videos are even worse. (Nice treatment of women - great language- *add sarcasm here*) Heavy bass that only annoys everyone around them. But what do you expect from an old white guy?

I can't stand the entire hip/hop rap "culture". Even DC's sampling of Stevie really annoys me. Write your OWN stuff. I find nothing redeeming about any of it. Find the entire genre tacky. Foul mouthed thugs who think money buys respect. I have an idea of where you can stick your "bling". In other words.....Don't really care for it.

I am not a big fan of rap, but I do love Rappers Delight.

In fact, I "rapped" a verse of it for my daughter this weekend, and she said "can you do that again?!?!" I also like some of Salt 'n Pepa's stuff, "Let's talk about sex," for example.

I hate sitting at a red light in my car, with the windows up, and having someone in the next lane with the loud thumping bass and actually being able to hear the "lyrics." At least with the "older" rap you could understand most of the words. As much as I hate Britney Spears, I'd rather have my daughter like her music instead of rap.

Can I just say one of the first singles I ever bought was The Show by Doug E Fresh.
I bet not too many of you can remember than one, but it's a rap classic and was a big hit at the time.

Oh and I forgot to mention the Beastie Boys. Love 'em too.

"Mo Money, Mo Problems" by Biggie, Puffy and Mase

That song takes me right back to high school the year I graduated.

Hmmm...
Tupac Shakur's "The Way it is"--yes, he took Bruce Hornsby's track and rapped over it, but he did it for a specific reason--because Bruce's song is a classic about race relations, and Tupac wanted to bring it back while expressing his own take on race relations. Rappers aren't just lifting tracks because they can't think of original music, they're doing it because currently, it's the trendy thing to do in rap/hip-hop, and because sometimes they're either paying homage to the original artist or they want people to remember the message of the original song.

"California Love"--Dr. Dre, etc.
"Switch" by Will Smith (haha)
"Hate it or Love it" by 50 Cent (although I don't care for most of his stuff)
"Lose Yourself"--Eminem
"It Takes Two"--Rob Bass (does NO ONE remember this one?! It takes me back to junior high, which was like, 15 years ago!!! And I still hear it on the radio sometimes!)
"Get Busy" (can't remember the artist)
"Baby Got Back"--Sir Mix-a-Lot

There's more but I can't think of all of them right now. And I don't even consider myself to be a very big rap fan.
