When rap is no longer the majority of popular music in our country. Also, I refuse to capitalize rap as I do not consider it to be a proper form of music, hell I don't consider it to be music period. |
It's Shakespearean verse set to a bass beat. At least the masses still enjoy the lyrical style. (Though they are different masses.) _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Wait, you're comparing P.Diddy & Nelly to Shakespeare, quite possibly the greatest writer in human history? Holy God, the education system has gone to hell in a handbasket....
Read some Shakespeare and you'll see why people still talk about him a half-millenia after his demise. |

Draw me one major style or direction distinction between Eminem today, and Shakespeare then, save that one wrote for the theatre, and I'll concede the argument. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

I see Bono's arguement. He's talking about beat, rythm, stuff like iambic pentamiter (correct me if I'm wrong, Bono).
If that's the case, then I agree with him and back him up. You'll have to take two of us down to win the arguement.
Granted, a lot of rap sucks outright. And by a lot I mean most. But I am one that believes in the ability of separating the issues out, and separating one's feelings out of issues for the sake of arguement, knowledge, and progression.
Oh, and Shakespear's plays were written down to the people. They were enjoyed by royalty, but they were also enjoyed by peasants. Romeo and Juliet was HILARIOUS. Why? Because all the actors were male. So that famous kiss? The crowd would erupt in laughter. _________________ anime is teh s uck

Right on, CP. Rhyme, verse, and even being for the masses. It's just a different century, and you're not the masses. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

I admit gaining a perverse sense of fun listening to NWA sometimes. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

You know, if you guys have heard Ben Fold's cover of Dr. Dre's Bitches Ain't Shit, y'all would understand what rap is good for. _________________ anime is teh s uck
