[Poll] Rap
Hate it! If it isn't Greek or Electronica/House/Techno it isn't in my library!
i voted i'll listen to it, but never buy it. but it's more like i'll listen too it when forced to. i would never go out of my way to listen to rap. (especialy that mike jones sh*t)
this is an amusing poll, but you don't really have a middle ground. especially since many people don't even buy music they like anymmore (they download instead). i don't like rap, but i can tolerate it if need be :/

I wouldn't even download it....or watch it if it's on TV
I just like music with a good melody.
Rock N' Roll for me. Not a big fan of rap although i enjoy some Japan rap (Dragon Ash is good)
Hmmm... Eminem isn't toooo bad... I love Mike Shinoda's music (Linkin Park)...
This reminds me of the lyrics of Step Up (Hybrid Theory EP / Linkin Park) which talks about rap vs. rock, etc.
The only rap I've got in my collection is Just loose it (eminem), Gangsta's Paradise (Coolio), Mike Shinoda/Linkin Park, and JZ/LP Collision course.
If I had to choose out of a) I like rap or 
I don't like rap, I'd probably choose b... :slant:
Nothing beats rock.

I enjoy any type of music besides Techno / House aka Garb IMHO. I enjoy rap; especially from the South. However, i am quite selective on who i buy when i do. My fav is either Tupac (cd...Makaveli) or Three Six Mafia (cd...The End).
I expect to be filled with people who:
1. Know nothing about hip-hop but like mainstream rap.
2. Know nothing about hip-hop and say they HATE IT OMG ROFLCOPTER.
Personally, I LOVE true/old school stuff. Most of the major label artists are incredibly fake and bad.
If you want an idea of what i like:
The Streets, MF Doom, Dangermouse, Madlib, Madviallin, Time Machine, Edan, Ugly Duckling, People Under The Stairs, De La Soul, a Tribe Called Quest, etc.
I'm not a backpacker as i like some "mainstream" rappers, but man alive... i can't stand this G-Unit stuff.
If you mean today's ****ty mainstream U.S. stuff...then most of it blows. I'll agree with enjoilax on De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Plenty of old-school and semi-old-school is good too.
I'm a fan of Reggaeton at the moment. There's also some pretty spiffy Mexican rap out there.
...BTW, I can't be the only one who wouldn't mind if 50-cent got shot a few times, am I?
saved my breath there, enjoilax; thanks.

But he's here for a reason...'cuz he got shot and he 'still breathin 
-NC
P.S: I'm not into rap so much as some of the beats from the more enjoyable songs...I won't distinguish between artists. I like "Gatman & Robbin" by 50 Cent and Eminem just as much as I like "Thugs Get Lonely Too" by 2Pac and Nate Dogg.
... I meant, a few MORE times.
Electronica/House/Techno it isn't in my library!
Agree, but what about trance? How could you leave trance out
For me, rap is boring. Simple as that. Old school hip hop is good tho, like enjoilax said.
Most people thinks what they see on MTV are what its all about.
I don't like rap. But i love Hip-Hop ;-) (like Kaze say "Hip-Hop what u live, rap what u do")
Groups like those Enjoilax quoted plus Nas, B.I.G., Gangstarr and also the whole Justus League, THETHYRDAY, Chapter 13, Supastition and basically a lot of North Carolina cats are to me what Hip-Hop as the best to offer for the time being.
By the way, try take a listen to "The Minstrel Show", the last LP of Little Brother, and i think even people who don't like Hip-Hop that much will love it. Dope music is dope music, no matter what style it is.
Now listening Wu-Tang Clan. Album: (1993) Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Old school and new school style hip hip is where it's at. This G'ed up, get money, get chronic, get hoes, shoot a brotha ****, is all crap.
It's all crap. Requires no musical talent whatsoever. All you have to do is keep time and have really bad taste in clothing combinations.
Just my two cents.

Alright every stereotype possible has posted CLOSE THE THREAD.
Like i said: Knows nothing about Hip-hop and still decides to talk about it.
Congratulations on being ignorant! Actually... your well thought out arguement has made me question myself... actually, Yes sampling takes no effort whatsoever! Because spending at least 3 hours looking for the specific 3-10 seconds of music you want, then actually getting it on a hard drive, then moving that into a loop or a sample, putting that as ONE layer of a song NO THATS NOT HARD AT ALL. Because you have so much experience with it, you know, you are right. And theres no way that theres a difference between the Dre keyboard tracks and vinyl sampling/live instrumention style of The Roots or Breakestra! NO. NO MATTER WHAT ITS ALL THE SAME YOU KING OF MUSIC YOU.
[X]I run away screaming when I hear it.
especially the american "music" like 50Cent, that's rubbish... only german hip-hop rulez because of the lyrics... I'm rofl everitime i listen to it...
I don't want to say, that there ne good rap musicians, but they can be as good as they want, I'll never like it.

Ummm... unless I'm mistaken, this poll was about rap, not hip-hop.
There is a difference. Although I could care less for either.
And sampling (a.k.a stealing/ripping) is for no talent hacks. Try creating music. That requires skill and TALENT. Looping is a breeze and if it takes you more than 30 seconds to copy a sample track to your HD, your an idiot.
And yes, I do know how to do it. Yea... the guys that can scratch live have a skill, very few can actualy do it and make it sound good. They get one kudo point from me for that.
And yes, I am a musician. Have been all my life. PM me and I'll be more than happy to shoot you some MP3's of some of my bands original work. And no... you can't rip, excuse me sample, any of it.
btw... playing the arrogant card and calling everyone who doesn't think like you do ignorant, only proves my point.
