Re: Rapper "Soulja Boy" disses the real SOLDIERS
 

Being a kid/teenager in the 90s and Ill always be a rap fan. Rap was just a punk rock as punk rock and grunge which florished at the same time in the early 90s. Just like grunge/punk rock then and now "indie" rock...rap is just alot of water-down crap including soulja boy. Most of rap is all bout making cash, and alot of posing...most these guys have very little talent. Its part of an industry about money than actual art. But their are still artist, but you gotta look hard for it

[quote=Angry;832403]Many of my fellow vets consisting of both current and former soldiers blew facebook up about this earlier today. I have to agree that it was a pretty douchebag thing to do. On the other hand at least his PR people are handeling it pretty well. They are trying to remove the video from the internet and the album will be released without that song on it. In another face saving move he has stated that he wants to meet with Army officials and offer free concerts etc. I doubt it will work, but the lip service is nice.

Personally I have only heard one of his songs and it was pretty catchy if you were trying a new form of line dancing in the club, but is was a far cry from true artistry. I miss rap with actual lyrics. Now if you will excuse me I have to "Superman this HO!"[/quote]


Nice post.


LOL @ "Superman this HO"

Kanye is mos def talented but more from a production standpoint than actually rapping.
Eminem is good, never really like him though.
Nas is one of my favorite artist of all times...from a rapping standpoint he is the most talented on the list.

I heard a little of Krit, not bad, on the single though he verse is kinda weak def gets outshined by bun and luda. Wayne ok hes never really stood out too me. If you want to talk down south....go to Houston Zero, Bun, Chamillionare, Devin the Dude etc.It raw, less "lights" more actual rapping.

Drake? nawww not buying him a talented, dudes a bore...trys too hard

That Soulja Boy song is just awful, even without the controversial lyrics. I mean I get that music is in the ear of the beholder...but you gotta be deaf to enjoy that song[/quote]

Eric B and Rakim, hell ya!!!!

Dont forget about Wu Tang, Tribe called quest, Vanilla Ice, etc.....

For all the hatters, rap doesn't need you...it's doing just fine without your supports. You're more than welcome to continue to listen to your hick music and leave rap be.

Haters can suck a dck.

Since when have record sales been a standard for quality? The average music consumer is tone-deaf.

Re: Rapper "Soulja Boy" disses the real SOLDIERS
 

Soulja Boy is a coke head who is also a shitty rapper. He is legit now a days because unlike the days of your mic skills are not what you are judged by. Tattoos, chains, the skinniest jeans hanging lower than everyone elses, and a hell of a hook is all you need. Now if you add a dance to it, that's extra credit right there !

I like Wiz Kalifah, Devin The Dude, can tolerate some of Lil Wayne but A Tribe Called Quest stays on rotation. As well as Gangstarr, KRS One, Wu-Tang, Eric B and Rakim, Busta Rhymes, Mos Def, Talib, Public Enemy, I could keep going on.

But for those that hate rap if you like rock I can get down with Metallica, System of A Down, The Mars Volta, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marylin Manson, Rage Against The Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, Janes Addiction, I can go on and on.

Country ? Give me Randy Travis or some Conway Twitty and I'm good !

I can give you classical as well. I'm well rounded but if you don't like rap that's your opinion. But Soulja Boy is some shit !
