LouieB Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 There was an article in either the Trib or the Times about white women getting into rap. I guess we need something new. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 "We" need something new in a genre you pay no attention to? Seriously, I don't understand why you and (especially) Mr. Heartbreak even open this thread, nevermind post in it. It's like me going into a thread about a new Jay Farrar project and saying he's gotta do something different, when in reality I don't own a thing the man has produced.

I do own a few rap records and I do occasionally listen to it and frankly if you interact with any media you hear rap quite alot. (Unlike hearing Jay Farrar which you don't hear and he did do something sort of new this year...) Rap is the predominant popular music or stand in for popular music. You can't turn on the radio and not hear it and it gets played on TV shows, commercials, rap artists are fashion and culture beacons, etc. Yea, it is totally stupid of me to advance an opinion (or actually advance the opinions of others I read) since I am not all that well versed in it. So I am outta here. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 So I can understand that I am not supposed to be here because I either don't know anything about rap or like rap, but simply watching TV for a few minutes last night I got to see Rhianna peform (admittedly she isn't totally rap but close enough) and get to admire her fractured fashion sense and also got to see Jay-Z perform as well and view his somewhat dreadful brand new for 2010 video. (Jay Farrar was nowhere in sight so I can't tell what he is up to in 2010.) Somehow I don't think I am totally unqualified to advance a couple wan opinions about the relative merits of the current crop of rap/pop stars. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I saw the new Jay Z video last night as well. I just don't get why he is considered one of the best. I get more entertainment from Ghostface Killah or even Lil Wayne. Then again I'm not going to pretend I have immersed myself in rap music over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not here to pick a fight, and hope everybody really, really enjoys the rap they enjoy. Happy New Year. Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Jay Z has been phoning it in since the Black Album. I don't know about phoning it in so much as enjoying himself. Although, who knows if there's a difference. All I know is he's fun, now that he seems more aware of how unparalleled old school style is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
