I like some rap music, but it's usually the occasional single as opposed to an entire album. It just seems like any fucktard with a modest amount of street lingo and a drum machine can have a hit single nowadays - which is a shame. A lot of rap music to

One thought: I've always tried to hear music that was different from my own experiences. Living in the middle-class suburbs as a young teen, I loved hearing things like "Guns of Brixton" by the Clash, or "Ghost Town" by the Specials. Even imagining wha

Good point. Rap is just another example of the dumbing down of America. Chec

I was just thinking...
Turntablism is also evident in all the glory that is Italo disco.

Italo uses hoards of technology, lots of samplers, and DJs who play synths and turntables at the same time. Italo also follows alot of the same principles as rap

I love old-school hip hop. I absolutely love it. I think early hip-hop's influence on new wave is underacknowledged--Soft Cell's _Non Stop Erotic Cabaret_ and the subsequent EP have electro beats all over them; Cabaret Voltaire's Some Bizzare period use

Although I don't listen to it often, I have heard some good rap -- especially underground -- out there today. It reminds me of how it was in earlier days because it's innovative, it's intelligent and you can actually enjoy and appreciate listening to it

If I must say it again, Old (very old) School Rap is the Last Poets, this is the stuff your parents would have listened to (that is if they were Black Panthers.[:)])

I don't mind the "Old School" funk such as The Sugar Hill Gang, George Clinton & Grandmaster Flash. We used to rollerskate to a lot of it back in the early 80's. The artist's didn't have to scream & curse to get their messages across. I love it when Blond

Hard to say anything that hasn't already been said in here. As a teen in the early 80s who grew up loving Punk, New Wave, AND Rap/Hip Hop, I am fascinated by the utter disdain for rap that many of you have. For me, the musical greatness of the late 70'
