Lots of metal Heads feel that this genre has
nothing to offer, that it is unintelegent and
without feeling, that it's all about smokin'
joints and gang wars.
But others may realize that rap and metal
arn't so different after all. Just look at
How Public Enemy Did a Song with Anthrax,
It's simple, both metal and rap can tend to have
rebelious and politically themed music. (punk to actually)
They both can indicate Drug problems and spiritual
Awareness.
For me, Rap is my favorite Genre of Music second
only to metal (Of Course!) Because I feel, well......
Pretty much the same as how I explained on the previous
Paragraph. It's intelligent, Political and for the most part
rebellious music. It also sounds good to me, If it's a good
M.C., the words flow like water with the Beat in the background.
So, what about you, is it stupid to you?
Do just not like the Sound?
Or maby you Love the sound,
and hey, do you relate to it?
Go Forth and Tell me!

EDIT: If you're going to critisize this genre of Music in any Negative way, Please make sure you critisize it with some inteligence. Statements like "The Only Good Rapper is a dead one,"

That might changed your mind on new school Hip hop. In fact I consider him more experimental Hip-hop http://noah23.bandcamp.com/album/z-m

FYI Hip Hop is very different from Rap.

Written by Cynic Metalhead on 26.03.2012 at 20:15 I know, but I think that on a Metal webzine it's acceptable to put them under the same umbrella. I don't listen to those styles very much and I think it would be a bit pointless to have a topic wich each sub category of rap/Hip-hop

Since last year I've been caning Immortal Technique's "The Martyr", and it's available for free all over the place - as Immortal Technique himself intended, so it's not a pirate copy. He seems to believe giving it away for free is the best way to get his message out as wide as possible. Download it: http://www.immortaltechnique.co.uk/Thread-Immortal-Technique-THE-MARTYR-Free-Album-OUT-OCT-27TH-TOUR My favourite track is probably "Rich Mans World".

So, MCA of the beastie boys recently passed away. He was my favorite member. Anyone else a Beasties fan?

I only ever listened to about a dozen songs of theirs. But from what I remember they were actually really awesome. I always thought they were a one-hit wonder but their back catalog is filled with some great beats.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 07.05.2012 at 13:29 Yeah man they went back to the mid 80's. They were in the industry really early. I think they started as a punk band and became a rap group in new york later. But their style is definitly more old school. All about the DJ and passing the mic after a few bars, just trading off through a song. Not really full verse rhyming like alot of 90's hip hop.

Written by Cynic Metalhead on 16.07.2012 at 23:35 Rap fans are well aware of him. People prefer learning about more underground artists.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 17.07.2012 at 15:24 Taking about underground artists, the first name that scooped is Mobb Deep. He was just brilliant. Well, I would also like to share the artist "Honey Singh"- a punjabi rapper who lived in UK for 10 years and was rapping in English. But, when he came to India, he started rapping in "Punjabi" language. I don't know much about him,more importantly, he is a local hero out here.

Gotta recommend Antwon. Dude goes hard and used the beat Clams did for Lil B's "I'm God" better than Lil B did. He's doing a show in a cave with Lil Ugly Mane after Agalloch in San Francisco next week. Kinda really tempted to go. Some releases are up here. All are great. http://antwon.bandcamp.com/

I've spent the last hour reading the first two pages of this thread and reading about rap on Wikipedia and it is too damn much for me to rap my head around.  How about some starting rap suggestions for a guy with little to no knowledge of hip-hop whatsover? I'm starting with stuff from the "golden age" like Public Enemy and De La Soul.

Written by [user id=101272] on 25.11.2012 at 03:09 Just like Metal. Start with the basis. What are you looking for? Flow? Rhymes? Precision? Lyrics? Experimental stuff? it's all in there. For Old School stuff, I'd go with Jurassic Five, Biggie, etc... Kinda slow on ideas now I'll return with more.
