solace Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 see, not to drag out the argument Louie, but if you think all rap is dumb like that, i can give you plenty of examples of actual great rap lyrics and as i mentioned to Mr. Heartbreak in a PM, there's a difference between Rap & Hip Hop too...

Analogman Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Since we are now doing questions - 1. If Mr. H had inserted bluegrass/metal/jambands/etc. in place of rap - would there be this much uproar? I wonder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I would argue Lupe Fiasco has made some lyrics that are very close to poetry, though naturally I don't know anything about poetry because I think it's mostly boring unless there is music behind it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 hahhahahahahahahahahahahaha So do you only read books with pictures? This was a stupid post. No. I did not mention my book reading habits in that post, that post was regarding my feelings towards literature of the poetic variety. I'm not sure where you got that from, since books didn't come up, but I'm sure you have a reason. I have a respect for poets and for poetry, as I cannot write a poem for shit, but I don't have too much more than that. As a medium of expression, I find it lacking. When there is music involved, it makes a whole lot more sense to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When there is music involved, it makes a whole lot more sense to me. Hey, it was a joke. The reason I laughed is because most rock musicians aren't the greatest of writers (lyrically), its much easier to make a lyric of effective with help from music thats pulling your heart strings.

Kinda the inverse of how people who think there is no good rap have just not been exposed to enough of it to be able to appreciate the magic there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I fully agree, I'm not writing it off as a medium, I just find very little of what I've read to be moving, unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
