Rap music makes you stupid. * 1
    #21805455 - 06/14/15 09:26 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.

A tid bit:
Quote:

...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart.  According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.

For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan.

I have to automatically disregard that quote because there is no way U2 should be a favorite of college kids.

But what if the study is accurate? Does that make really make him a racist douche or just a snobby bitch-ass with some power of observation? (I do like Radiohead)

I think U2 and Billy Joel (for heaven's sakes) can be chalked up to smart kids not having the time to look for better music. :lol:

I know plenty of kids that love rap and Lil Wayne. They are all dumb as hell.

I know plenty of people that like U2 and they are all dumb as hell.

But who fuck is Sufjan Stevens?

Billy Joel is awesome.

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one-horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Your sister's gone out. She's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ahh, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah...

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway
What for?

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

But Captain Jack can get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Aw Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Ooh yeah...

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong?

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
Why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Well now Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Oh Captain Jack will get you high tonight
Take you to your special island
Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Yeah Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will make you high tonight
Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight

Correlation does not imply causation. I used to listen to rap, still do sometimes, but when I did almost exclusively I got a 31 on my ACT. Sig related.

People who listen to good music don't need standardized exams to prove their intelligence.

On the opposite end of the spectrum I've met hipsters that listen to fashionably obscure good music who are dumb as a brick flung onto an interstate highway.

The writing was the essay portion, which was out of 12. A 10 is very good. The highest composite score is a 36, most average kids get low-mid 20s. High 20s is pretty good, anything over 30 is great.

Correlation does not always imply causation. 

There are plenty of rap artist who provide intelligent lyrics and there are plenty of "U2"-esque bands whose songs are meaningless. 

I used to listen to ICP and I scored a 27 on my ACT with a 31 in math. :shrug: 

Nowadays I listen to a wider variety of music, and very little rap.  WOO PARK, Tycho, God is An Astronaut, Mochipet, Rivkka, Modest Mouse, Dr. Dog, The National, Flaccid, Caribou...

Blacks tend to listen to lil wayne and other shitty rap. Blacks have lower mean IQ.

It's pretty stupid to make the assumption that because people that listen to rap have lower IQ's, that rap is the cause of it.

I scored 1300 and listen to rap. Not shitty rap though. Well I did at the time actually but not anymore.

Thanks asshole, but I wasn't trying to impress anyone. Yes I'm an 18 year old kid, as you can see by the date on the image. I am also proud of my score, as not many people score that well, and it made me feel really shitty when everyone was so surprised by the score I got. I was just a quiet kid, never gave anyone a reason to assume I was a retard, but everyone just assumed I was a worthless piece of shit. And hey look at me now, they were right.

Some of the better underground rap I agree with rapeutic. Comparing mainstream music, no way. Talent wise I don't think any genre takes it, rap definitely takes a lot of talent but so does playing an instrument.

I call bullshit.

No genre holds that title.




Some of the better underground rap I agree with rapeutic. Comparing mainstream music, no way. Talent wise I don't think any genre takes it, rap definitely takes a lot of talent but so does playing an instrument.

Been wanting to post this vid for a while so Imma use it as an example






He's alright, if you want an example of intense lyrical complexity and flow schemes that would make Biggie's head spin, check out Busdriver.

This is also very true. The ACT was all about time management. All the fuck heads I knew thought they were going to do well cause they took the most adderal that morning, while I knew I scored good because I actually managed my time well enough to answer almost all the questions to the best of my ability.

So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.

A tid bit:
Quote:

...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart.  According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.

For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan.

100%

Rap can be real without being serious. You can also make any kind of music rap music. Anything. Nothing is more versatile. Rappers can even sing and it's still a rap song. You can get more of a message in to a rap song than any other genre as well.

:lol:

You guys are crazy. Yes some rappers are talented and you can convey messages pretty well lyrically that way but guess what?

Poetry has been around forever, and people have been conveying their messages through poetry forever.

What the hell makes rap special in any way?

Someone can make a shitty beat and rhyme over it and bam they made a rap song.

Practically any other genre takes more effort musically, and can be just as poetic.

:lol: I'd guess it's mostly a love-hate thing with him. That song is (IMO) a fine example for that particular concept album, but each (album) has a pretty distinct sound. More typical for lack of better terms folk/indie here,  a mostly electronic 2011(?), and just released a new one this year.

First of all their is more to music than beat and lyrics.

Secondly music is not confined to genres.

There is tons of rap with horrendously shitty beats and lyrics...

Just like there are tons of other genres with both very poetic lyrics and simpler/ worse stuff.

Nice Psycho, I may have to check that list out for shits and giggles :lol

Progressive rock for one.  Hell, sludge metal too.

Progressive rock, Rush,  Vital Signs
Unstable condition
A symptom of life
In mental and environmental change
Atmospheric disturbance
The feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange

The impulse is pure
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
By external interference
Signals get crossed
And the balance distorted
By internal incoherence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a mood lifter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

An ounce of perception
A pound of obscure
Process information at half speed
Pause, rewind, replay
Warm memory chip
Random sample, hold the one you need

Leave out the fiction
The fact is, this friction
Will only be worn by persistence
Leave out conditions
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter
Everybody need a soft filter
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to elevate from the norm...

sludge metal, Acidbath, Scream of the Butterfly

A creature made of sunshine
her eyes were like the sky
Rabbit howls like something old
as we twitch to her lullaby
The scalpel shines in gods sunshine
street lights whisper pain
Down here near the poison stream
you're god has gone insane

She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
She feels it die, I heard her cry (x2)

Like the scream of the butterfly

Sunshine a house in flames
She likes it where she gets it
but it's never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection
When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
She runs through fields of daisies
Yeah it's just a shame
that they eat their own babies
Who cares cause the air is free
When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

There's blood on the moon
and the summer is cold
There's love in the room
but baby that's gettin' old
There's blood on my face
sittin' on a dead shore
A highway of emptiness
and I'm feeling old
There's blood on the moon
as we plan our escape
The goddess in bloom
handcuffed and raped
There's blood in the bath tub
murder the king
There's blood on the moon
there's blood on just about everything

Sunshine a house in flames
She likes it where she gets it
but it's never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection
When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
She runs through fields of daisies
Yeah it's just a shame
that they eat their own babies
Who cares cause the air is free
When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

Something cold is forced inside her
a tear spills down her cheek
Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer
hymns of the needle freak
With sunlight in her hair
she smiles like she don't care
her dreams are liquid blue
I cut myself again and again
to remind myself of you

She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
She feels it die, I heard her cry (x2)

like the scream of the butterfly (x2)

I met an angel with a sawed-off shotgun
wanted by the FBI
we dropped some acid, killed our parents
then we hit the road

like the scream of the butterfly (x2)
like the scream of the butterfly (x2)

(and i'm a huge fucking fan)

Dice me
I want to die screaming

The thoughts of dead babies
Wiped away with my semen

Yeah...

I get it, they were depressed heroin junkies

still can't touch a lot of hiphop/rhymes :shrug:

fanboism :facepalm:

Starfire that was trash lyrically. The Ghana Drum and Dance was dope though, i used to watch a lot of that


Nothing posted so far comes close to this lyrically




Gazin at this blank page
channeling my deep cerebral phase
My mind slowly reaches the 9th stage
Boom! now Ive caputured it
The paragraphical map is scrambled in my inner-cranial labyrinth
Im focused lets go after it
I move in carefully, the canvas stares at me with apathy
And as I struggle it sarcastically talks back to me
Frustration pops in
To strain out a classical concoction, its pain stakin but failure's not an option
A spark the size of a quark
Tries to take shape and develop into what becomes an embryonic thought
My endorphins release and start chasin it
My cerebellum embraces it but my haste and over-anxiousness erases it
A split second from deliverin


Was at the edge of my mental but quickly backflipped into the river of oblivion
Im almost nauseous
Why should I be cautious when all this inanimate garbage is under my auspice
The vision within
The smooth black pen, but when a concept begins something pushes it back in
All the inspiration ceases
A sharp pain increases
Scattered fragments of a thesis but my mind wont release it
Fightin' somethin' not typical to fight wit
Stare at the page all night till my sight quit
My occipital might split
So scandalous is the virgin canvas
With no guard for the man who tries to channel his deepest thoughts to romance it



(The canvas
Where great works of art rest
Where creative inspiration is made manifest
Phisophies and dreams executed by the hand, before its sent out to man
This is where it all began)X2



The canvas
As fast as the Atlantic
Where the righteous and the rancid ideas of man sit
The organic and the outlandish
The three way connection between my thoughts page and the pen that I brandish
I wrote a line I felt from within
The page regurgitated back in the form of a flame that melted my pen
I replaced it with one I figured was greater
The first acceptable line,
finally hits the paper several hours later
I was tired but couldnt rest till Im through
The canvas spoke to me again and calmy asked "Is that the best you could do"?
Fool Ive got a message for you
How you gon disrespect my work and all of this time Ive infested in you
It said "You full of intellectual wealth"
"You started this so now you gotta live up to the standard you set for yourself


The unparalleled creations
The timeless innovations, the mixture of real life situations and useful information
I asked why do you care it replied
"How can you lyrically stimulate peoples minds if you and I dont coincide?
Beside the fact Im being protective of you
Would you wanna have somethin' written on your body thats not reflective of you?"
Had to agree its perspective was true
So in a second or two
I brainstormed and intellectually grew
It was torture and my thoughts were exhausted
I didnt draw a mountainside or a wild orchid,
but a literary portrait

Nothing posted so far comes close to this lyrically




Gazin at this blank page
channeling my deep cerebral phase
My mind slowly reaches the 9th stage
Boom! now Ive caputured it
The paragraphical map is scrambled in my inner-cranial labyrinth
Im focused lets go after it
I move in carefully, the canvas stares at me with apathy
And as I struggle it sarcastically talks back to me
Frustration pops in
To strain out a classical concoction, its pain stakin but failure's not an option
A spark the size of a quark
Tries to take shape and develop into what becomes an embryonic thought
My endorphins release and start chasin it
My cerebellum embraces it but my haste and over-anxiousness erases it
A split second from deliverin


Was at the edge of my mental but quickly backflipped into the river of oblivion
Im almost nauseous
Why should I be cautious when all this inanimate garbage is under my auspice
The vision within
The smooth black pen, but when a concept begins something pushes it back in
All the inspiration ceases
A sharp pain increases
Scattered fragments of a thesis but my mind wont release it
Fightin' somethin' not typical to fight wit
Stare at the page all night till my sight quit
My occipital might split
So scandalous is the virgin canvas
With no guard for the man who tries to channel his deepest thoughts to romance it



(The canvas
Where great works of art rest
Where creative inspiration is made manifest
Phisophies and dreams executed by the hand, before its sent out to man
This is where it all began)X2



The canvas
As fast as the Atlantic
Where the righteous and the rancid ideas of man sit
The organic and the outlandish
The three way connection between my thoughts page and the pen that I brandish
I wrote a line I felt from within
The page regurgitated back in the form of a flame that melted my pen
I replaced it with one I figured was greater
The first acceptable line,
finally hits the paper several hours later
I was tired but couldnt rest till Im through
The canvas spoke to me again and calmy asked "Is that the best you could do"?
Fool Ive got a message for you
How you gon disrespect my work and all of this time Ive infested in you
It said "You full of intellectual wealth"
"You started this so now you gotta live up to the standard you set for yourself


The unparalleled creations
The timeless innovations, the mixture of real life situations and useful information
I asked why do you care it replied
"How can you lyrically stimulate peoples minds if you and I dont coincide?
Beside the fact Im being protective of you
Would you wanna have somethin' written on your body thats not reflective of you?"
Had to agree its perspective was true
So in a second or two
I brainstormed and intellectually grew
It was torture and my thoughts were exhausted
I didnt draw a mountainside or a wild orchid,
but a literary portrait
And what I wrote the page no longer denounced it
My mind pushed and gave birth to a verse that weighed 3 tons and 7 ounces
I asked how do you like it? It said "I love it"
Now I know my page will only accept words that are worthy of it

Its the chicken or the egg argument. Does rap make you stupid or is it mainly stupid people who like rap?

simple lyrics both you and lowbrow posted.. they read like highschool poems.. amateurish. What I posted shits all over it tenfold. multisyllables, rhyme schemes, puns, metaphors, punchlines, slant rhymes, wordplay, diction/syntax etc. hip hop is most expansive in all this. thats why lyrically its more advanced than any other genre. largest vocab usage too

There are lots of good rappers out there. The ego battle thing comes from rap battling dude, it's a game and that's meant to be fun, but it's about self image for the listener as much as the one saying it. Ever watched a rap battle? Some of the shit they say is hilarious. Some of them are straight up comedians. Then you have the gangster side, well what can you expect when you have an entire society who feels like they're treated differently. And I mean poor people. Every genre is used as a voice of the people in a different way. Rock music tends to say "you'll be okay guy :smile:" and rap tends to just get you to say you're awesome. Saying rap sucks really is apples and oranges. If you don't like a genre, you probably don't get it, and I mean 'you' in a broad sense.

Metal music can say some strange things and it's not as bashed as rap. Or how about punk. You know what punk sounds like to me? What rap sounds like to some other people. Rap can be so many things and still be rap, you take other genres and tweak it in little ways that they do with rap and it won't be the same genre. Let's listen to some bad jazz. Uhh, nope. We can chop it and rap to it though. How about country? All the bad country is all dead dogs, jesus. whiskey, horny blonde rich women, and kiss ass middle aged men.

I'm a little tired to drag up a bunch of songs but this is the first one that comes to mind that definitely has no bullshit. It's about the perpetuation of black stereotypes and social instability by the black culture.



Rap's one of the more abused genres and I thought it was common knowledge. There's tons of shit bands from every genre, with lyrics just as pathetic. Even some of the most influencial rock bands of all time had some shitty lyrics in there too. Those types of bands use the melody of their voice to compensate for weak lyrics in contrast to rap which uses the fallback of 'ego battling.' There's good reasons for that though, the most excusable being that career rappers can run out of shit to say pretty quick. How about the Grateful Dead? Tons of people think they really, really suck, for good reason. No one shits on rock music for that though, how uppity is that?

I don't like rap. I had a phase when I did, when was young, for maybe a year.
Now I like rock sort of music.
I like U2, Radiohead, I don't know who that other guy is, Chilli Peppers, Placebo, Muse, etc
Does that make me smart? That's what I tell myself anyway :smirk:
I can definitely see the divide in smarts & what music you like.

Rap music doesn't make you stupid.

The study simply determined that stupid people listen to rap.

I'm the Diabolical, Biz Markie
From "Pickin' Boogers," the "Vapors" - "Make the Music" you see
But now I'm bringin to you for your enjoyment
It's an animated dance for my employment
You might remember him from Saturday afternoon
He was my favorite character on any cartoon
But when you do the dance, you can't stay kaput
EVERYBODY GET UP.. and do the Mudd Foot
C'MON! Get up and do the Mudd Foot
C'mon, yo yo, yo c'mon and do the MUDD Foot
"Hey hey," yo hey, yo, do the MUDD Foot

[Interlude]
Now bust this out
I'm not even gonna get into no rhymin
I just want everybody to listen to the funky beat
While my DJ Cutmaster Cool V, cut up what the name of this dance is

{*Cool V scratches "Mudfoot"*}

[Outro]
You know, I can't really do all that stuff
You know I'm not into that cuttin, but
I want everybody to the dance, let me show you
You see, you gotta act like you crippled
Like you just got one leg, and you know you just gotta just
You gotta just, ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-just gotta relax
And just, let the music take over your body and just chill
Cause this is the Diabolical B-I-Z, Emmezah-A-Rrrah
You know me from, "The Biz Mark, Biz Mark"
I already said that already, but it don't even MATTER
Bring the bassline back in, now bust this out
I'm just talkin about, this is gon' be the new thing to take over
The next century, cause it's gettin ready to be the 90's
And I want this to be one of the hottest dances comin out
It's called the "Mudd Foot"
You know, you you can't do "The Butt" off this music
You can't do "The Wop," can't do nuttin else off it
Can't do the "Michael Jackson"
Only thing you can do off this music is the "Mudd Foot"
Can't be doin that "Arsenio Hall"
I don't know I don't know how he do that, m-heh-heh
Or that I.O.U.'n, Scoob and Scrap'n
And anybody else dancin
Only thing you can do off this, is, the "Mudd Foot"
So c'mon, do the MUDD Foot
Yo, I, see, you know I been here
I been in this studio for about a month
I'm tryin to teach Swan how to do the "Mudd Foot"
I don't know what the heck he doin, he-heh-heh
Marley can't even do it, yo
I'm tryin to teach, Cool V how to the "Mudd Foot"
He doin the "Butt Foot" I don't know what the heck he doin
But, the way you gotta do the "Mudd Foot"
You gotta just kick it, it gotta be like flowin y'know?
It gotta be flowin!
I know everybody from Uptown, by the Apollo, Uptown
Way Uptown, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island
Long Island! Everybody from out of state like Kansas City
California, everywhere, I can't forget New Jersey, Newark y'know

Any genre can have true artists, skilled within whatever window their style of music allows. Or, be multi-genre spanning experimentalists. Rap is all about lyrics and beat. And the lyrics are, by and large, about braggadocio. Clever, yes, but usually meaningless and empty ego boosting.

The beats are technically, pretty simplistic, and sampled, but still catchy.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Some of the rap out there wouldve blown beethovens mind in the beauty and artistic flair in its composition. Its a beautiful form of music thats marred by shit like lil wayne and the game or other garbage that appeals strictly to the gangster element of hip hop. Id argue that a lot of the gems that get pumped out rival any traditonal composition out there in its complexity and harmony.

simple lyrics both you and lowbrow posted.. they read like highschool poems.. amateurish. What I posted shits all over it tenfold. multisyllables, rhyme schemes, puns, metaphors, punchlines, slant rhymes, wordplay, diction/syntax etc. hip hop is most expansive in all this. thats why lyrically its more advanced than any other genre. largest vocab usage too




Couldnt have said it better myself. Some of the rap out there wouldve blown beethovens mind in the beauty and artistic flair in its composition. Its a beautiful form of music thats marred by shit like lil wayne and the game or other garbage that appeals strictly to the gangster element of hip hop. Id argue that a lot of the gems that get pumped out rival any traditonal composition out there in its complexity and harmony.

"Get Retarded"

"I-I-I, want, to.."
"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
"Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
"I, want, to.."
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

[Canibus]
Yo -- niggaz is phony frontin like they Master of Ceremonies
None of you suckers are even remotely close to me
To be nice I sacrifice things like no sleep
I keep a library of lyrics on microfiche
Creating concepts so deep, niggaz quote me
They rewind and interpret my rhymes to they homies
I did things beyond your flows, eons ago
It's inevitable in ninety-eight I'ma blow
Ever since eighty-four, I've been in it to win it
But see back then we used to battle by spinnin on the ce-ment
You can't even absorb the rhymes I record
or resolve the deep laws of the physics involved
I travel to the end of the universe and beyond
Parsecs, out of range from a cellular StarTec
From the galaxy of Andromeda; I puzzle niggaz
like crop circles and other unexplained phenomena

[Chorus: Canibus]
Aiyyo, nine out of ten of these rap artists is garbage
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
You spineless, rhymeless, niggaz is heartless
"Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
Aiyyo, I came to see that hip-hop is never tarnished
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
So I [echoes]
"I, want, to.."
"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

[Canibus]
Aiyyo, all I really want is you niggaz to stop bitin
All I really want is you niggaz to start writin
All I really want is you niggaz to be original
and start spittin some lyrical shit that I can listen to
You haven't written the perfect rhyme yet
You don't even know the sequences to the Human Genome Project
You haven't come to terms with your God yet
And you refuse to believe in Unidentified Flyin Objects
When I bomb shit, I get retarded; probably more than you bargained
I'm talkin about rippin mic off your arm shit
Hype shit, blow up a mic shit, you might get
beat the fuck up in broad daylight with a nighstick
To the British, I'm Ghandi
To the Japanese I'm an American pilot flyin over Nagasaki
To the AIDS patient I'm your last antibody
Sittin and waitin for a cure from modern biology

[Chorus]

[Canibus]
Yo I be lookin directly into the human eye to see if you pussy
And completely ruin your ability to lie to me
I pull a nine on a bully, cock back the cannon
God damnit, I don't think you fully understand it
Ask nine out of ten niggaz on the planet
who the best is, the question'll go unanswered
til I step up, to the front line with rhymes
Revin my engines like they were powered by Lemans
Murderin niggaz with lyrics manufactured within
my DNA's double-helix, I leave you in troubled spirits
I'm absolutely the purest, breed of MC
from the United States of America to Europe I deserve it
However you wanna word it, I'm perfect
Touch my microphone on accident and get murdered on purpose
Motherfucker!
"I, want, to.."
"G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

[Chorus]

"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
"Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
"G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

Kendrick can make good songs/music but he's severely overhyped as a lyricist and his voice/delivery is terrible.

Simple. People listen to music they can relate to. Rap fans largely consist of African Americans. In the USA African American communities have notoriously bad schooling.

i'm a long time fan of rap. the only thing that confuses me is when people seem to think the only good rap is from the abstract/backpacker end of the spectrum. for me, even though i'm into some artists who would be considered that style, i like some dirt. overly preachy, moralistic rap has long grown tiresome. all of that get up, get out and get something shit gets to be like sitting in church. it's like listening to a bad spike lee film.

music is entertainment, and when i listen to music i expect to be entertained. i tend to prefer clever lyricism with a nice dose of braggadocio and grit. i equate it to liking gangster movies like goodfellas. i don't like goodfellas because i connect with the mindset of robbing and killing for a living; i like it because it's a compelling story told through brilliant direction and acting.

scarface - for real


big krit - king of the south


guns-n-butter, reef the lost cauze, kool g rap, r.a. the rugged man - three greats


badbadnotgood, ghostface killa & elzhi - gunshowers


action bronson & alchemist - eggs on the third floor


billy woods - sour grapes

So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.

A tid bit:
Quote:

...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart.  According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.

For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan.

What a racist douche bag.  :noway2:




Dear OP

Tell me one good rap artist, that promotes peace and understanding

That doesn't sell sex/violence or get you sexually stimulated by watching the cover with sexy halfnaked ladies


Usually rap is about violence, violence they think is cool - that's stupidity
Usually rap is about sex/murder/violence, how much they gangrape each other, how many chicks he doggystyled, how little the new gangs know


Rap is ego stimulation, sexual stimulation, violence stimulation (again ego)


So is there any rap that is not about ego ?


That you can listen to without trying to be cool and fit in, without having to smoke weed?

Tupac & Nas are my all-time favorite artists.

Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

Rap music doesn't make you stupid.

The study simply determined that stupid people listen to rap.

Big defference





if it doesnt cause stupidity then how do we explain all the stupid people
listening to rap, are you trying to say that blacks are inherently stupid
and that they listen to rap because of this?


BTW, we need to ban rap musiic as a symbol of hatred and violence

Thanks appreciate it, will save up for an album or two and listen a bit to them on youtube

I don't really like eminem/snoop dog it seems, but 2pac seems to have some somewhat interesting mental lyrics

The other ones are just "sex,violence is cool" , sacral chakra desires lol


It drains you, even 5min of it
Not that there is anything wrong with sex, but it can certainly be too much, there's sex in every newspaper and every music album these days, gives me nausea each time

Perverted sex is nasty , true sex is godly
