Sorry I couldn't understand your Aussie accent

Lol, Rap, some of these rap guys wear crosses so big and pure gold, makes the Popes cross look like a piece of junk. Rap is not music, its religion.

[Extol]

No and still don't 

LOL 

LOL funny, Rhys!

I used to like rap about 15 years ago. . . still listen to it once in awhile. My brother is a rapper and his debut album will be released next month.

Indeed.  I've learned so much from the people all around me, and continue to do so with every new person I meet.  Little things, big things, good and bad.  I'm learning to appreciate the uniqueness of everybody.

Rap is not music, its religion.

That's quite the statement you've got there.  At least you got the "some" right.

Interesting Extol.  Is your brother good?  What's his name?

[Dennis Vogel]

I like some rap. I appreciate the poetry and the skill required to get right. But I'm not a fan of much of it because of the vulgar lyrics.

I like this and consider it lite rap.

I hear it's a great way to make money in the music industry, without having to make music!! But what do I know?? I'm a hard rock type of guy.

[John9362]

Hey Rhys when are you coming to Sydney ??
Do you have any friends (apart from me  ) or family here ??

John

[G. Driggs]

Yes I like rap.  Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and many others. 

[cjwood]

Adding Dr.. Dre to G. Driggs' list.

[Extol]

Loc I'll send you a message.

Thanks for sharing that Dennis,
I'm old school, 50's, 60's, Korean Police Action etc.
I was always told that profanity was the evidence of a weak mind trying to act forcefully.
I listened to your suggested Rap offering and did appreciate it. I think I will share with some friends of this generation.
Just goes to show that it can be done with class.
Regards, Indiana Bob

I like a lot of rap, but I've always considered vocals to be part of the rhythm section.  Phrasing is an often overlooked skill in all types of music.  Don't ask me who they are, however...just as I don't know who does what in any of the new music I hear these days.

I don't like it because I can't do it.     Plus, I'd look kinda out of place in the audience at a live show.  Their loss.    

[wat]

That's a pretty nice one Dennis.

lol Dave, I can totally see you at a show.  Your presence would make the show better IMO.

[Dave in Tenn]

I think it would too, Loc.  Nothing makes a show better than an old guy poking people, saying, "Eh?  What's that he said?"

I would have loved having my grandfather doing that at a Bob Dylan show.
