What is Rap?
IP: 2AFF F797
Not the dictionary definition, but what is it to you? I was talking to my friend yesterday, and he was playing 50 Cent. I'm like, "Man cut that gay shit off" So he asks why I hate 50 cent. Well I told him how his lyrics were shit and all it is is talking bout being gangster and doing hos. And my friend goes, well, that's all rap is.
I was left speechless. I knew people thought bout rap like that, but not that that people think rap is only bout that. I couldn't explain it because it was like 12:30 at night, so I let it go. But it made me think about how far rap has gone from it's roots of lyrics, and turned into image and beats.

Rap can be expressed for every mood, for example ti bring em out is happy and bangin, but nas-one mic is more emotional and deep.
Both have its good points.

But, to think that it is only about beats and hooks just kills me. At least, when Tupac was rapping bout gangs, his lyrics were good. I wish, 50 Cent would have never rapped. Go ruin rock you bastard.

rap is about having something to say
its about putting your point across in a lyrical way it don't matter whether your point is the inhumanities in the world, or simply just smokin weed and fuckin chicks. as long as you gettin your puttin whatever point across it can be considered rap. i know there may be some flaws in my personal definition of rap but bear with me cos my ass is tired ya feel me. |

Rap is a musical manifestation of da hip hop lifestyle. cos of its musical nature it has certain forms,dats where ryming,wordplay "n" others come in. Anything dat lacks these basic laws is considered garbage! Rap is a reflection of d hip hop mind, either its fuckin chicks or oppression,thru these above set down laws. Although to be quite innovative one must add to this laws a certain "sumthing" dat makes the rapper unique.

dont try to over anaylze it or complicate it. rap is rap. it's putting words to music without neccesarily singing them. Ususally accopanied by a track that has a emphasis on percussion. Rap is what it is. we all know what it is. You cant define rap by the content of the message, cause it evelopes all messages. From crappy garbage like guns and hoes, to consious concern like politics and living conditions.
i agree that 50 raps about the same crap 90% of the other mainstream rap about. but apparently, yall like it, cuz the radio and tv only plays what makes money. And rappers with a real message rarely get airtime |

But now we have 50 cent being popular, so I guess we are going backwards.
