Spoiler for Kanye West - Crack Music:
How can anyone even like this? Especially the first part, with all the "la-la-la-la-la-la-la-black music." Megadeth's Burnt Ice conveys practically the same message, about drug addiction. The only difference between Burnt Ice and Crack Music is that the former is devoid of racial slurs, idiotic "Crack Music! Black Music!", and sounds much better overall. Believe me, I know... I actually listened to both of them, and Megadeth's song is superior. |

You can't extrapolate to a whole genre from the comparison of two songs (neither of which I know, I have to admit). But it's up to you, whether you make the effort and try looking for the good stuff or not.
I myself enjoy discovering new genres (now I do that is...it wasn't always the case) and have yet to find one which doesn't offer multiple great bands/musicians.

Even if they sing about other things I just don't care tbh. IMO music is for listening. Nothing more nothing less. Of course there are some songs with deep lyrics, but I am not listening to music for the dept of lyrics. If you are looking for some dept and things that will change your views on life I think you are looking at the wrong place. |

Well, since that's obviously purely subjective I can only speak for myself. And I can't really recommend a single song... but my favorite album is clearly Madvillain's Madvillainy. It's not easy to get into (at least for me it wasn't) but once you got it it's awesome and beyond.
If you don't like it...I don't think I can help you.

Madvillainly is an amazing album. I Started off with DangerDoom so madvillaniy wasn't to hard to get into for me. Just got the re issue of MM. FOOD and a few songs from Operation: Doomsday. I love DOOM.
Scienz of Life is good also. I like the tracks they produced with DOOM. |

It just sickens me when Rap went from a form of music that had culture and meaning to a commercialized trend that has been warped by money and the entertainment industry that serves the purpose of getting people to buy certain shoes, spend all their money on useless jewlery and rims for their car. seen dudes that can put 22's on a car but can't afford insurance or at least a door that matches the car. I don't think mainstream rap is the worst thing in the world. I just wish the media would support the underground so people would have a better opnion of this wounderful music genre. Mainstream is good to listen to sometimes. Every now and then I'll listen to a mike jones or T.I track. Don't concider them really talanted rappers but they have cool voices and nice beats.

September 11 is the day when Kanye West and 50 Cent are releasing both their CD's (Graduation and Curtis) and I have a chance to listen to K. West CD, it is very good with about 5 - 6 tracks that is very good (Champion, Stronger, Good Life, Homecoming, Big Brother and The Glory). I heard that 50 Cent only have about 2 good tracks from his right now
