I wanna know why you liked rap from 10 years ago so much better than now. Nas, Jay, Dre, Eminem, Talib Kweli were making hits 10 years ago, and are still doing it today. Theres just sooo much more depth to the genre today. This is the golden age of rap. Maybe you are confusing rap for hip hop.

I think there's good emcees around still but by and large the commercial stuff isn't very good. I mean, they make club tracks, so it's not like they're supposed to be taken seriously in the first place... it's not my style so I'm not that great a judge I suppose. Give me some Jedi Mind Tricks or Sage Francis (though I'd rather listen to a Mix Master Mike set or some grime like Akala for my hip-hop fix )

Akala is phenomenal

his arctic monkeys freestyle is insane too

Jam on it!

There's a lot more out there than the commercial stuff, you know.

Some of the newer rap is crap. Like 50 cents or what ever the hell his name is he mumbles the whole time sounds like he just woke up i cant understand him. LiL'Wayne has 1 verse then a bunch of ad-libs(sp?) and is annoying as hell. Also most of new rap and the 1 hit wonder rappers rap about the same crap Money, Ghetto, Drugs (Crack and Weed mostly) and Girls PICK A NEW SUBJECT damit i know i am not one to speak but you listen to older rap and yea they talk about the same things almost but they did it in a better way more in depth about it. But there are some people Like Dre that changes it up some. Eminem talks about the same crap all the time pills, killing his wife, his mom, and pills again. But those are just my opinions.

I listen to all sorts of different music. My last brew was Silversun Pickups, Breaking Benjamin(I went to high school with ben and aaron), Then I switched to Kid Cudi.

IMHO rap is just what it is. Rapping about day to day life. If they want to talk about girls, drugs, alcohol, ghetto life then that's fine. It's all the jerks that have beach homes and five leased cars all with Lambo doors that still act like they live in Inglewood that makes me not like most rap.

See, you guys ragging on rap just hear a random hip hop/pop song on the radio and let it represent the rap genre. like Bovine said theres a lot more than the commercial stuff out there. Radio singles and popular artists albums are usually catered to the club scene and the preteens. You gotta look a little deeper at the mixtapes and the more underground stuff. There is a ton of rap out there about more than money cars hoes, but when your making a club song its not supposed to about anything serious.

Its like hearing nickleback on the radio and saying wow rock music really sucks.

I'm just funnin, cause I don' even listen to rap. That's about the only rap song I really like and I was like 15 when I heard that tape. I don't listen to rap because it has ZERO in common with me and my life.

Of course, if there is some group that you think is just particularly awesome, I'd love to get a link to some samples to check them out. I'd prefer it if they weren't a continuous stream of vulgarity though.

And Jam on it rocked! It took me quite a few tries to get a full version, but now I can annoy my kids with it. Rap with me!

Jam on it! Jam on it!
Jam on and on on and on it!
Jam it on the ground and upside down
Keep on jammin to the Jam On Production sound!

Go crazy! Go crazy!
Don't let your body be lazy
I said, Don't stop the body rock
till your eyesight starts to get hazy!


AW yeah!

I want to write gangsta-style rap about brewing.

I want to write gangsta-style rap about brewing.

Sounds like a plan:

F*ck slangin' bags because I be slangin' hops
2 oz. of Amarillo in my pockets swerving round dem cops
Close yo mouth, shut dem lips, cuz all you do is hatin'
Grippin' a Bugatti while my yeast stay flocculatin'
Drinking brew to the fullest while my pockets stay large
You cats can't even brew steady wit dat stuck sparge

:fro:

 

[BuonAnno]

That made me very happy sir!

Oh and I have to jump on the rap bandwagon here. There are some really great artists out there making some really important music. I see alot of similarities between Minor Threat/Black Flag era hardcore and the current state of hip-hop (or at least hip-hop of the last decade). IMHO.

That was hysterical!!

 

[Pommy]

I like to get the SWMBO out the house and get some Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian or some other English stuff on or else The Doors, GnR or a few others. Any good drinking music makes good brewing music IMO

 

[erkwist]

Lets see...DMB, Dead, Phish, Tool, APC, Old Alcoholica, Old Incubus, Rusted Root, Kinski, Led Zep, Besties, Roots, Michael Franti, Flobots, Ben Folds, Deftones, I could keep going but I think you get the point. Anything GOOD

 

[erkwist]

Every brew day really should start with Paul Revere by the Besties

 

[MBasile]

My music mode changes from week to week, so I just play whatever I've been listening to lately.

I try not to put on anything that I need to pay attention to, or else my attention will go to it, or the beer, but never both. Although, brewday before last my girlfriend was watching Three Sheets on my laptop.

Wow, not often that anyone mentions Deftones <3 Good taste.
