FACT: Rap today takes no talent

Go ahead and try to pursue a rap career, there, buddy.

And then tell me it doesn't take talent.

Producing the beat, writing the lyrics, and then being able to keep the rhythym and flow while putting the lyrics to music... Plus, not everyone has the voice for it, so that is a factor too.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. So don't come and try to talk.

FACT: Rap as a genre has a whole lot of existing talent as well as untapped potential in such ideas as industrial rap and others. You cannot ever judge an entire genre by the crappy muscians who you know of.

Saying that all rap sucks is like saying that all rock sucks because of nu metal and pop rock clone bands out their it just shows your ignorence of a genre that holds so much greatness

The other day I heard a rap song where you literialy couldn't figure out the words. I said to myself, well damn, I could be a rapper of this caliber if ripped out my tongue and removed my bottom jaw.

I know is a rough generlization, that it seems to be where most of the genre is headed. Sure there are a few good ones, but they are being pushed aside by garbage.

Its the same in the rock world too, to many guys (who if you where walking behind them you wouldn't know if they where a guy or gal) trying to be rockers.

TC must be talking about generic crunk rap AAllxxjjnn

*Looks at your screen name*

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

Theokhoth

That was my first thought, as well.

How can someone have a screename that adverts for a band as horrid as Nickleback and simultaneously be so idiotically bold as to suggest that rap requires no talent?

[QUOTE="SinfulPotato"]

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.

JML897

Did you just say Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer were good?

i lol'd at this

mainstream rap sucks, the not mainstream stuff is great

all they rap about is the size of thier rims and how much women they have...

Oh my god, shut up.Kikouken

[QUOTE="rockguy92"]Just so you guys know...smokingsbad

This kid is really quite sad, i think i know why he doesnt want a ps3, because its black and a the majority of well known rappers are black:o. conspricy i think not.

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

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

:lol: Thankyou for this. I literally laughed out f*****g loud when I looked at your name then read your post. Oh lord, this is great. But back to topic. Mainstream rap, like any genre, sucks. Go underground and you see insanely talented indivduals. Army of the Pharaohs, Immortal Technique, Snowgoons, Jedi Mind Tricks, they all kick ass:D-Sniper99-

thank you

TC should take a listen to Big Daddy Kane, Jeru The Damaja, Eric B & Rakim, Nas, Bone Thugs, N.W.A., Kanye West, CunninLynguists, Beastie Boys, Common, Lupe Fiasco, Binary Star, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Freeway, Jadakiss, Blue Scholars, C-Rayz Walz, Clipse, Pharrell, Dr. Dre, The Game, Geto Boys, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Ice T, Mobb Deep, N.E.R.D., Obie Trice, Pharohe Monch, Run DMC, Slick Rick, Warren G, Sugarhill Gang, Afrika Bambaataa, Too Short

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

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

Fixed. I suggest you search "Queen". If you consider them rock of course.

And OP I disagree, most rap does take some tallent. For example: A composer doesn't play any of the instruments, however you must still be very skilled to compose music.

Sweeping generalisation and ignorance.

This is the same. Off the top of my head: Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden.
