FACT: Rap today takes no talent

*Looks at your screen name*

Dude, you're going to get flamed like hell for this, even by people who hate rap.

I missed these.

Try listening to 'It is Pitch Dark' by MC Frontalot.

Here it is

Talent to perform it? Maybe, maybe not. Talent to come up with the words? Oh yes.

Todays Rap is terrible. I agree.

Now there was a time when rap was pretty good. Looking back to MC Hammer and Vanulla Ice. Now its just garbage.

Todays Mainstream Rap is terrible. I agree.

Did...you just say Vanilla Ice was pretty good? :| A crying shame people mention him and Hammer when talking about rap from that era but never Rakim or CL Smooth...

This all coming from a guy who's name is Nickelback4Liferagek1ll589

Fact: rock singing takes no talent. When you compare it to Opera singing (not popra) it takes absolutely no effort, training, ability, or talent.Foolz3h

This proves you know nothing about pitch, sound, hitting notes, etc.

When you compare rap to singing, to me it's just fast, you don't even need to belt out an notes...

Guitar, drums, keyboard (and piano) bass, singing etc. all take real talent. Rap takes skill to write, but not to perform. Even rapping on the spot if fairly easy.Nickelback4Life

Nickelback has talent?

I happen to love Nickelback ballads.

Not so into their hard stuff, though.

Rap does take skill to perform, have to be in beat, not to mention you can't afford to stumble on any words.

Fact: Music of today sucks. That sounds much more fitting.

Music nowadays is generally enhanced so it doesn't require as much talent as back in the day. Music will never be the same as it once was.nVidiaGaMer

electro/techno? UP UP AND AWAY!! :D

EDIT : and his post dissappeared!

There are 100 rappers with more talent that Nickelback in their pinkie.btaylor2404

Carl Sagan objects.

Fact: The only people that says rap sucks are those who judge the whole genre by what they hear from MTV.hiphops_savior

But I don't watch MTV...and yet I find almost the whole genre terrible and I just can't understand why people can listen to it. I used to listen to it yes, but once I actually understood what they were saying, I instantly stopped listening to it. I switched to rock, and still goin' strong for 10 years now :P

EDIT: And the fact a majority of these people, what I classify as the ghetto part of my school, can't speak any proper english and more...it's almost impossible to explain it. Also it seems all they talk about is sex, drugs, who they "shot" last night rollin' with their gang buddies, say the N word with an A at the end in every sentence they speak. It makes me sick.
