First time I ever felt any emotions from a rap song.

I never considered rap music. First, becaue there is no singing talent, and second, there is no musicianship talent. Talking over computer beats etc... autotune etc... Singing and musical intrumental ability are what I define as music, others may have different standards... but anyways.

The first timer I over felt any emotion from a rap song was this week. I don't know whos song this is, if anyone can help please tell me. It was a song about a guy growing up being gay and what he went through by people around him. It just hit me hard. I have never heard a song be about being gay, and I have listebned to tons of music and bands in my life. I never thought I would hear an open artist talking about being gay in a song on a mainstream radio station. Hell, I never heard 1 song where an artist was open and talking about it.

I started crying when I heard it because it caught me off guard, and everything he said in it is exactly what I dealt with and wondered growing up and knowing I was gay when I was 11. I haven't ever felt such emotion from a rap song before. I have heard this song played at least 10 days times after in the period of 2 days, so it must be a popular song right now. Does anyone know what this song is called and who its from? Thanks. 

I still don't think rap is music, its more of talking about what is going on in your mind/ telling storys. But I am glad I finally felt some emotion from a rap song for the frist time in my life. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what is the name of the song? Thanks. I still cannot believe I finally heard a song when an artist openly talks about growing up gay and its popular on mainstream radio. What a huge step forward for kids growing up gay right now and getting an inspirational song. I wish I had heard a song like this when I was growing up gay as a kid. :(

yea contrary to popular belief, rap does actually take talent.

when i first heard Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique, i literally got shivers down my spine.

Because rap music is all about emotion. You have to feel the music. How the sound was created doesn't matter. And you didn't feel any rap music before because maybe you didn't grow up in a certain environment and couldn't relate. Rap music makes you bob your head. No other music makes me want to bob my head like rap music does. You gotta feel it.BMD004

In my opinion it's hard to feel sorry for complete retards like most rappers are. I also just hate the sound of it so I'm probably biased.

[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"][QUOTE="MrPraline"] If you like that, check out "You Never Know" by him (Immortal Technique). Think that hit me even harder. Such beauty and power in that song.MrPraline

[QUOTE="MrPraline"][QUOTE="chaplainDMK"] Impressed, though musically it's way to simple for me (i'm a massive prog head, Cynic, Opeth, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Meshuggah, Rush etc. etc., and also love Jazz, so I need the music, tempos and rhythm to change constantly), but the rapping/lyrics are really good. I usually can't take rap seriously because of the stupid lyrics, but here he really knows how to work with the slang while still making the lyrics sound mature and well thought out. chaplainDMK

[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"]

[QUOTE="MrPraline"] Yeah I can definitely see where you're coming from as a prog fan. The beat is mostly the same loop over and over again. But I'm glad you appreciated the lyricism and delivery. It's quite a powerful track.BMD004

I used to love Eminem and old school rappers like Tupac. Haven't really listened to rap in a few years now though.

T.R.O.Y by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth is a song I like that I just thought of. Not super profound or anything, but it's a nice song.BMD004

:roll:

was it this one?

This album got me into hip hop, try it.

i don't like most American rap music because their isn't enough musicality and the subject matter, i either don't care about or are repulsed by.

i am however a huge fan of the Japanese hip hop scene, a whole lot of talent i can appreciate.

the only American rap i can stand is stuff that is comical or light hearted I.E digital underground, early Eminem, weird al.

Oh and De La Soul, i love De La Soul.
