RAP

Not to thread-jack, but I prefer the "backwards video" thing done in this one. Plus it's all a single take.

WARNING: NOT RAP

Jamiroquai's "VIrtual Insanity" was the best example.

LDSD: If you're not interested in the subject, instead of being a trolling douche, how about you find something else to whine about? I mean, why comment? So we all know what you don't like rap? Got it. Move on.

well like you always say, this is the internet Pete, deal with it!

Very cool video, but that wasn't shot in reverse. Unless they somehow got those cockroaches and that bird to walk/fly backwards.

Who you calling a bitch?



Whenever I hear people rapping about guns, drugs, bitches, etc... I laugh a bit because they sound like 16 year old boys that never grew up. If there was an ounce of satire or irony I could do it but they sound so fucking serious, and the music is generally pretty generic sounding too. It's not offensive, it's just silly and un-selfaware. That's why I prefer people who try to push the boundaries a bit like ol' Busdriver here. Or CLoudDead.

Busta used to be the shit...

In no particular order:

I used to think the same thing until relatively recently. These slowly, slowly, changed my mind.

Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me
Madvillain - Madvillainy
GZA - Liquid Swords
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back
Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
Nas - Illmatic
Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask
Dr Octagon - Dr Octagonycologist
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday

The top two are especially pertinent if you really don't like the (c)rap that gets played on the radio:





I still don't like a whole lot of rap though.
