A downtempo music genre branching off from electronic music. Today, rap is actually poorly put together. The bass is a monotonous sub bass with random patterning, basically it has no melody to it. The melody itself is literally something you can expect to see from someone that has owned a production program for a week. Its a poorly patterned, unadjusted synthline. The vocals are by far the worst part, there is no emphasizing, pitching stressing, or anything else that makes things sound good in music, just some tool saying things that he thinks are witty because its grade 1 poetry, just rhyming. It appeals to people who think the rapper is cool, or think they themselves are cool listening to how "cool" the rapper is. Also its been documented on a survey chart that out of every music genre, avid listeners of rap music have the lowest IQ while listeners to classical music have are a small percentage but at the top of IQ with the upper half of listeners of House and some other electronica. It has also been recorded on a poll on a music production forum that 94.3% of the registered users agree that most year-long amateur producers can make just as good music as the professional hip hop producers out there. I think that speaks for itself.
Next time you want to get at dance/rave/club music about 4 to the floor bassdrum educate yourself on how stupid you and your rap music are. Have fun feeling cool to music that doesn't even sound good, because that's what music is for.

A genre of music. In it's original form some years ago it was a great form of expression through poetry and beats. However it has turned into a more pop oriented genre and become very generic.
Public Enemy, NWA, and other early rappers made actual music, unlike today's feild of rappers that include Lil Jon, 50 Cent, and Chingy.

A genre of music that's been around since the 80's or so. Early artists (ones that i can remember anyway) include Tone Loc, MC Hammer, and Sir Mix-a-Lot (Baby Got Back...love that song. And Resonate.) Rap is, in fact, not shorthand for "crap". Rap is like any other genre... lyrical and musical stories of life and incidents occuring in life. Rap is also like any other genre in the fact that some artists have 3-to-4 minute long songs about absolutely fucking nothing. Any fuckface can make a beat and spit words out and "make a million by saying nothin on the track" (to quote Mims, i think that's who said that anyway), but it takes real fuckin talent to make a song that goes to the bitter core of your soul. I'll name 50 Cent, Eminem's earlier music, and Immortal Technique as a few artists that have songs that go to the core. Rap's no better or worse than rock, country, or blues... and to all you motherfuckers who love to bash on rap, try this on for size. I listen to rock, country, and rap..and when it comes down to it, suckass songs aside, and ways you present your story in musical form, it's all the same. Music is life... the genre you choose is just how you tell your story. So fuck off, haters- you don't have to listen to it, but don't bash people who do, cause you're just contradicting yourself.
Rap isn't crap. Listen to "Dance With The Devil" by Immortal Technique, you'll change your mind.

The worst music genre ever created. Its immoral and is the root of the down fall of society today. Rap is all about yourself, how much money can I get, how many chicks can I violate, its rediculous.
Example of rap culture: Man i just bought $3000 worth of ice, but Africa is still starving.

A type of "Music" that is very popular among the adolescent urban-youth demographic, more often than not portraying crime and "life in poverty", which is just a poor excuse. Some of the other definitions on the site say it's "poetry", and to give "2pac" and Eminem a try. Here is an example why "2pac" isn't poetry.
"The first one jumped out and said, "Freeze!"
I popped him in his knees and shot him, punk.. please.."
2pac, Song: Crooked Ass Nigga.
Case in point. If "not all Rap is about crime", then why does 2pac portray killing the police? Rap is barely synced to music, Where Music syncs to notes and sheet music, so long as the rap "artist" and the "band" start at the same time, It's apparently OK. Also, Rap fans say that Rap is great, yet it constantly shows a racism that, strangely, is widely accepted.
"Criminal behaviour
Criminal, criminal, crim
Crim-criminal behaviour
Criminal beha.. crima-crima-crima
Crim-crim, criminal behaviour
Criminal behaviour.."
Crim-crim, criminal? I don't remember Edgar Allen Poe using that rhyming scheme, most likely because he produced real POETRY. Rap is not music, stop saying it is. Many white people grow up in poverty, Myself included, but that doesn't mean we like to listen to someone talk about it.
Rapguy: Yo, check dis fly beat, bitch.
Me: Sorry, what?
Rapguy: Shizzle.
Me: No Thanks, I'm clean.
Rapguy: Cracka.
Me: Uhh, OK.

for the most part IT IS retards attempting poetry
bottom line rap is 95% fucking BULLSHIT end of story because yes hos and killing people what the fuck ever and this INCLUDES PARTIALLY to underground as well but the good rap which there is VERY LITTLE of basically consists of love and all that GOOD stuff abd that doesnt mean angry rap is bad eminem is angry but good because its emotions not senseless acts of killing people and what not and i am a metal lover i hate punk almost more than rap because punk like most rap is an excuse for mainstream media because its so pathetically put together and for some reason for some VERY STUPID REASON PEOPLE BUY IT! so anyways i admit there is metal i cant even listen to like the pure banging and screaming shit i fucking HATE it im talking about metal with MELODY some melodic shit and yeah i like the screaming but it depends how the screaming sounds as long as i can understand and sometimes not but it has to sound cool and the lyrics HAVE TO HAVE MEANING WITH EMOTION and to all you fuckers saying most of us are rednecks that hate rap after hearing 50 cent for 2 minutes thats the dumbest shit i have EVER heard yeah im sure there is some dumb fucks on here that you are right abotu but im definitely not one because i have heard all kinds of rap and there is some i like which from what i can recall is underground but some of it sucks regardless anyways im not making a quick judgement here believe me and i could go on but im really tired of typing so im done oh yeah and to whoever said rap is music with attitude has without a doubt no clue what he is talking about becasue that is exactly what metal is (for the most part) and i mean serious attitude
