Whoa......"just music"?

Dark... your name isn't worthy to be in any rap.

[b]NAS IS LIKE[/b]

Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
My plateau, and also, what defines my name
First it was Nasty, but times have changed
Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my science for pain
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of cocaine
Saw my close friends shot, flatline am I sane?
That depends, carry Mac-10's to practice my aim
On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees
Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze
Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
To the corner thugs hustlin for cars that cost dough
To the big dogs livin large, takin it light
Pushin big toys, gettin nice, enjoyin your life
is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell . . .
NAS, NAS

[Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier (2X)]

"Nas is like life or death.. I'm a rebel.. "
"My poetry's deep, I never fell.."
"Nas is like.. half man half amazing.."
"No doubt.."

[Nas]
"Nas is like.." Earth Wind & Fire, rims and tires
Bulletproof glass, inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit, line em up with the stars
Tarot cards, you can see the pharaoh Nas
"Nas is like.." Iron Mike, messiah type
Before the Christ, after the death
The last one left, let my cash invest in stock
Came a along way from blastin, techs on blocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin acres
From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
Dimes, givin fellatio, siete zeros
Bet my nine spit for the pesos
But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called, history's made
Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is

[Chorus]

[Nas]
"Nas is like.." Sex to a nympho, but nothin sweet
I'm like beef, bustin heat through your windows
I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper
Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin somethin deep from they teachers
I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for
Always got you, I'm like Pop Duke you would cry for
I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts from a rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races
combined in one man; like the '99 summer jam
Bulletproof Hummer man
I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of em fam'
I'm the feelin of a millionaire spendin a hundred grand
I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
Live it, and I write down and I watch it blow up
Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night
Now..

One of my favs....... give it a chance.. download it and listen biatch. Smile

I like:

[b]Illegal i Song[/b]

One fine day
I'll settle down
When you bloody me
I ran aground
With my broken face
And fisticuff
f**k the rest and
All their stuff

I
Don't
Anymore(x2)
Just look and you'll
See me
Lying there
Lying...

Another day
A battleground
A ready teller whore
Who makes no sound
Keep the money, bitch
Keep the stuff
Fly around the world
And keep it up

I
Don't
Anymore(x2)
Just look and you'll
See me
Lying there
Lying there
Just look and you'll
See me
Lying there
Lying...

*Solo from Slash

(repeat chorus)

It's killing time in the streets(All hate Sunday)

-Velvet Revolver

Slash is awesome. It's awesome just to hear him play.

I know it's only rock n' roll but I like it...

But I did download that song. N' it irritated me. But I agreed with you in the first place that rap takes talent n' all that, I just don't like the style. Meh.

Back to the Stones... If you start me up, if you start me up I'll never stop... :wub:

What's wrong with the style of rap? I don't see a problem with it.

Here's some of Snoop Dogg. [img]http://www.rapdict.org/images/albums/197_doggystyle.jpg[/img][img]http://www.rapdict.org/images/albums/287_snoop-dogg-presents.jpg[/img][img]http://www.allposters.com/images/1/Posters/LP0473_a.jpg[/img]

I can't get into it. I like guitar riffs, vocal hooks, melodies... A song, basically. The whole "stream of consciousness" thing rap has goin' does nothing for me. And most (can't say all, as I obviously haven't listened to every rap ever) sounds very empty to me with just the beat, voice, and perhaps a couple other instruments. Very thin, like it's missing something.

But as someone who lives for party rock and hair metal, I'll always miss the les paul through a marshall.

(to flea's earlier post)Yea, it's just talking and/or string/wind instruments presented in a pattern and in different tones, it depends how it's done for the person to like it and also what mood it sets. I usually like it to set me in a dark mood. Music was made just to set emotion and energy. At least that's my philosophy.

You downloaded nas?!?!? Smile

and you didn't like it WTF?

And yeah some rap sounds empty.. but in my opinion songs like the nas one sound pretty good Smile

Dead Presidents II, and In my Lifetime Remix be banging too.... Laughing

Sorry to bring this up now. I meant to earlier.. but didn't feel like writing it out.. so i copied and pasted from some other site.... adding in some of my own.

[b]Rappers who were murdered, or who have murdered.[/b] Obviously not all cases are on the list.

King Tubby, who invented the dubbing process that was popularized by rappers, was murdered in 1989 when he was 58 years old.

Rapper Michael Menson, of the group Double Trouble died in 1989 at age 29 when a gang soaked him in gasoline and set him afire. Double Trouble had a hit that same year titled Street Tuff.

MC Rock, rapper with The Almighty RSO, was stabbed to death in 1990 at roughly age 28.

Brandon Mitchell, rapper with Wreckx-N-Effect, was shot to death in 1990 at about age 20 during an argument over a woman.

Charizma, rapper with Peanut Butter Wolf, was shot to death in 1993 at age 20.

Mr. Cee, rapper with R.B.L. Posse (Ruthless By Law), was murdered in 1995.

[b]Tupac Shakur (2Pac), a gangsta rap superstar, was shot to death in 1996 at age 25.[/b]

Rapper Seagram Miller was shot to death in Oakland, California, in August 1996. He was 26.

[b]Notorious B.I.G[/b]., gangsta rap star, was shot to death in 1997 at age 24. This was only three years after the release of his successful album Ready to Die. This album was filled with cursing, violence, and immorality. One cut was titled Suicidal Thoughts, and Notorious B.I.G. sang, When I die, -----, I wanna go to hell.

Fat Pat (Patrick Hawkins), rapper who recorded immoral songs, was shot to death in 1998 at age 26.

Malcolm Howard, rapper with 4 Black Faces, was shot to death execution style in 1999 at roughly age 30.

[b]MC Big L[/b] (Lamont Coleman), rapper with Diggin In the Crates Crew, was shot to death outside his home in 1999 at age 23.

Rapper MC Ant was shot to death in 1999 at roughly age 35.

Q-Don (Raeneal Quann), rapper, was shot to death outside a Philadelphia nightclub in April 2000 at roughly age 30.

Yusef Afloat Muhammad, rapper with The Nonce, was found dead alongside a Los Angeles freeway in May 2000 at roughly age 28.

Bruce Mayfield (aka Chip Banks and Bankie), rapper with The American Cream Team, was shot to death over a money dispute in November 2000 at age 30.

Lloyd Mooseman Roberts, rapper who worked with Iggy Pop, Ice-T, and Body Count, died in a drive by shooting in February 2001 at roughly age 28.

Tonnie Sheppard, rapper and cousin of rapper Haf-A-Mil, was stabbed to death in a recording studio during a fight with studio executives in May 2001 at age 38 or 39.

Jam Master Jay, rapper with the popular group Run-DMC, was shot to death in his recording studio in October 2002 at age 37 by an unknown assailant. This is the latest in a long string of violence associated with rappers, who produce a style of music that is infamously violent in nature (though Jam Master Jay himself was more positive than most).

In December 2003, federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna was gunned down during the trial of rapper Deon Lionnel Smith, who was accused of running a violent drug ring.

Rapper Juston Potts (nicknamed Kanyva) murdered his promoter on June 7, 2004, because she told him he didnt have the talent to sell records (Aspiring rapper arrested in killing, San Francisco Chronicle, June 8, 2004).

Jamal Barrow (Shyne) - sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvment in the club shooting with Sean Combs and bitch slut jennifer lopez.

So what is it you were saying about rappers talkin a whole lot of sh*t, but not living it out? I put the two famous cases that everyone has heard about in bold. Biggie and Pac. I left out deaths due to drug abuse, and car accidents.

Yes I did. Now there's that one song surrounded by a few hundred hair metal files. It's very lonely looking.

but rap is cool too. it was a hard decision. but i like rock more. linkin park. ^_^

Layz, those rappers aren't alive anymore, so they aren't living anything.

Also, they rap about taking other people's lives away. Some rock does that, Hell, a lot of rock says that. Only they say they want to.

catgurl, I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Linkin Park is one of the worst rock bands around.
