The first Rap song.

Rapture by Blondie

No, Rapture was released in Jan. 1981. Rappers' Plight by Chevy Chase was released in 1980. While I'm not completely sure Rappers' Plight was the very first rap, it was released before Blondie's Rapture.

The superior version of Gangster's Paradise.

It's like saying "I don't like the blues, but I guess the Blues Brothers were alright."

These threads always slay me. People who don't like rap are always the first to bash it. I get that they don't listen to it now, because it's evolved to 80% garbage. But that said, I never see people who like rap go into country music threads and start bashing their artists.

Whether some to choose to agree or not, there is an artristy to the hip-hop industry.

You both are wrong...

source: wiki

Within New York City, performances of spoken-word poetry and music by artists such as The Last Poets, Gil Scott-Heron[18] and Jalal Mansur Nuriddin had a significant impact on the post-civil rights era culture of the 1960s and 1970s, and thus the social environment in which hip hop music was created.

Prior to 1979, recorded hip hop music consisted mainly of PA system recordings of parties and early hip hop mixtapes by DJs. Puerto Rican DJ Disco Wiz is credited as the first hip hop DJ to create a "mixed plate," or mixed dub recording, when, in 1977, he combined sound bites, special effects and paused beats to technically produce a sound recording.[36]
The first hip hop record is widely regarded to be The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", from 1979.[37] However, much controversy surrounds this assertion as some regard "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by The Fatback Band, which was released a few weeks before "Rapper's Delight", as a rap record.[38] There are various other claimants for the title of first hip hop record.

I'm not wrong at all as I specifically decline to make that claim in my post! I only produced prior art!

RIP Gil Scott-Heron. First listened to him when I was kid, still my hero now.

Tell em WG. It's pointless to try to stand up and defend rap to those type of people, so I like you tend to not even engage. Now if you've listened to the Roots, "Things Fall Apart", know who DJ Premier is, and know Hieroglyphics as something not just wriiten on ancient Egyptian walls, and still say rap sucks, then I'll give you some credit. Otherwise it's like me saying Indian Sitar music stinks.

Everything negative that can be said about rap can be said about other genres. Most young pop singers sing songs that seem to come from a make-a-song app. Many popular country songs are about dogs, a lost love, the good ol' days or a cheating husband. Most rap songs these days simply suck if it were not for auto-tune or featured female chorus singers.

I like all kinds of music and there are no genres I hate. I do not like all songs and I may favor some genres over others but if you truly open your mind, you can find songs in every genre that sound good to you.

I used to raise some eyebrows with heavily genre mixed CDs I would play in my car. Apparently you are not supposed to be a rock music fan and like country music, or a country music fan and like rap music, or a rap music fan and like pop music. Fortunately I never got that memo growing up

I just am always looking for somewhere I can post my rap/crap line...

That being said, I hear country music getting bashed all of the time...

I listen to just about everything and country gets bashed probably more than any other genre... rap is second...

This is how I think. I never rule out any sort of music. I was at SXSW. I saw a few bands, but my favorite was "Down with Webster".

There are some who have listened to rap in the past, but don't now, so I get that. And there are those who at least discuss the genre even if they don't listen to the music.

However, I'd just like to point out that rap music on this forum is the most negatively criticized. That could be due to the people who post and their overall music tastes. But I never see the same consistent negativity directed at other genres on this forum and from my perspective it gets old.

I just am always looking for somewhere I can post my rap/crap line...

I doubt country gets bashed more than rap. I'd put money on that one. lol

As for you, trick. I don't count you because you always post the same thing.

Indian Sitar music is some of the most beautiful music on this planet.
