What do you look for in good music?
 

Well just like what do you look for in music that makes it good to you. Personally I look at how they flow. The lyrics first of all, I need their lyrics to be lyrical/true if it's about gangsta shit I aviod the lyrics and spit my own rhymes if I like the beat, specially with my friends, most of em listen to wack shit. But anyway how bout y'all?

Iono I listen too everything really But Iono lately i've preferd more underground and lyrical emcees

^that's all I like, mainstream aint appealing to me.

I dont look i hear, if my ears cause my mouth to smile my mind to think and my head to bomp. Then that is good music.

its gotta have a dope beat 1st of all, cuz if tha beats shitty, i cant listen 2 it 2 hear tha lyrics, cuz i'll just shut that shit off. n i like gangsta shit, none of this shit about politics n shit like that. its gotta make me wanna jump around 2 it n shit. its gotta flow good n b catchy n shit. sum shit i could play wile cruzin down tha street in my 64', werd

in rap, flow first followed by delivery...then lyrics

I like to be entertained more than educated in music...

1

the type of shit I consider "non-music" lol

Mines is
1. Beat
2. Lyrics
3. Flow

Definately heres mine no specific order coz they all add up:

1.A good beat
2.A flow that goes with the beat
3.Good lyrics to accompany that flow

I wanna hear something that every other artist isnt sayin, like metaphors that havent been refered to already

fuck'a good beat, i half decent beat can still make me appreciatte the track.
"good" in the ear of rap these days is a dre beat.

A good track to me isnt a 50 cent track, more a canabis track.
100 bars has a half decent beat and it shits on a in da club or piggy bank which have a "good" beat.

yup.

70% good beat
20% good lyrics
10% good flow........

Your talking about good 'rap'.. Not good 'music'..

Music is personal expression, I try and understand where the writer of the song is comming from and whether I can relate to what their getting accross be it a deep message or just a representation of a culture or artform..

Hell man I can even enjoy pop music and RnB...

I guess overall, I like music that I can really get into the vibe of... If a songs got it, then I dont care what genre it is, I'll be crankin it...

yo got to have every thing and they all have to be good just like wu-tang
*goes and listens to wu tang forever*

Wu-Tang lyrically..
But I really don't like the beats.

^^^The RZA's doin big things these days

dude did the music to kill bill check the credits

he got ideas from when he produced the beat for cold world by GZA


but for me

65% instumental
17.5% flow
17.5% lyrics

but thats not a set rule for me though because every track is different
