Do you like rap?

[Shell Beau]

I know a lot of it is offensive. But do you like it at all? And what rapper if so?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

1. It's really not my thing

But to each his own.

[petronius]

2. We're big Ice Cube fans around here

Like most genres, 90% of rap is garbage, but the other 10% contains some seriously intelligent art...

(The exception is country, in which 100% of the last decade is crap. IMO, of course.)

[Shell Beau]

5. Oh yeah, the last decade can harldy even count.

I like maybe a couple of songs.

[TK421]

3. No....never really got into it

though most of the kids on my block growing up used to blast it out their front windows ( when the parents were still at work, of course ) and we used to do all kinds of bad shit there.

4. Not my thing.. but I like some.. 2pac is one

6. Most of his music was his real life.

[Inchworm]

7. Yup, just a different way to tell a story

and people's stories are my thing.

:hug:

[MrSlayer]

8. Old school.

Rakim, Public Enemy, NWA, Ice Cube, KRS-1.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Nice list.

I will add Ice T and the Beasties.

[MsKandice01]

9. The new stuff is garbage...

But I loved some of the old stuff. Ice Cube, Snoop, DJ Quik...good shit.

[Shell Beau]

11. I loved Snoop.

Just so easy going.

[EastTennesseeDem]

10. I can think of one rap I like

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Yes.

[Left Is Write]

15. Some. Not a whole lot.

[firedupdem]

16. Not much of the new but definitely the old...

Public Enemy, biggie, snoop, tupac, tribe called quest, Eric B. and Rakim. Old stuff...

[flvegan]

17. Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, old skool gangsta (NWA, Ice-T, Geto Boys)

Some of Eminem's stuff is good. All of that crunk shit, and 99% of anything "popular" these days seems to suck to me.
