Dr Dre Said In The Show Movie That If Rap Music Never Existed.........

[isiahthomas]

you would have a bunch of dead muthaf**kas, broke muthaf**kas, & niqqas would be in prison hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. He's right about that cause rap music has taken a lot of unintelligent ignorant street african american men off the streets from hustling, robbing, sellin drugs. Dr Dre said rap music is a job now which it is. Rappers better be glad that this artform got started cause what else could they do if they weren't rappin? LOL.

If rap never existed, black men could have gotten scholarships to Juilliard or Berklee so they could learn how to play real music, assuming Congress funded education in he arts adequately, and we would be a whole lot better off for not having to listen to rap! So - THERE!

AMEN!!!! A WOMAN!!!!
THE FAD IS DEAD, PEOPLE!!!! Chanting over someone else's music and manufactured "drum beats" is not the most original thing in the world!!!!

Somewhere, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Sonny Boy Williamson must be turning over in their graves.

If rap never existed, I'd be a very happy person.

as much as I hate rap and consider it a cancer on the face of mainstream popular music (I knew it was bad when last year I was rooting for BRITNEY SPEARS to do well), i don't think it's going away anytime in the near future. Teenyboppers are too brainwashed and rappers will always believe their music is in some way superior.

Did anyone see Da Brat on The Surreal Life calling Jane Wiedlin a has been? talk about classic stuff.... at least The Go-Go's had plenty of recordings that are still listened to over twenty years later, what does Da Brat have except for her appearence in the movie Glitter? lol

Rap will survive as long as there are inner cities, underfunded social programs, poor public education, and the middle-class preference for suburbia that has caused cities all over America to lose their tax bases; that's what creates a pathological ghetto culture that allows rap to continue. But rock can prosper if it offers a fresh alternative like Nirvana over a decade ago and if such an alternative is allowed to grow - that is, if there's a music mogul with the guts to let it grow. Unless these things happen for rock, there's no way it will regain dominance over rap in the pop world.

[isiahthomas]

I saw Da Brat call Jane a has been. Da Brat has only a platinum album which is her first album Funkdafied & a gold album which is her 2nd album Anuthatantrum. Her last 2 albums are wack so she can't call anybody a has been LOL. If Da Brat isn't a has been, what is she doing on The Surreal Life? Hahahahahahahahaha.

problem is, the music industry is too impatient to see if the next Nirvana will happen. I remember a few years ago, they were shoving The Vines down your throat as "the next Nirvana" before the album even came out, and when it did, there was no way they were able to live up to the hype.

that is true, if you've accepted an offer to do a season of The Surreal Life, it's pretty safe to say your days as an "is now" are finished, lol.

It's more original and meaningful than alot of rock songs.

but rock also isn't shoved down your throat in every medium possible besides country stations, hip hop IS. Even rock stations play Eminem and stuff like Kid Rock/Limp Bizkit which is more hip hop than rock.

With that narrowminded attitude, what would he say if there was no professional sports?

I think those guys are a little more intimidating than any poser rapper.
And besides, it's all CRAP. Give people credit.

i can see where your comin from but all our stations are more geared toward pop/rock unless you want to listen to the college station that plays all rap from like 7-9 at night

I wish we had channels like that here, we have a few oldies and classic rock channels, but hardly anything specializing in current rock/pop.

I think the big reason people are so against hip hop is the fact that it really has taken over. I mean, if you don't like Hoobastank or Green Day, you have plenty of escapes that you won't hear them or anything that sounds like them, people who don't like hip hop do not have that luxury unless you wanna go the country route.

Idiots like 50 Cent & G Unit, or Lil Jon constantly rapping about tits & ass is what makes rap look so bad.

I like some rap but none of the T&A songs...
