Anybody here like rap?

[Riddles]

I still love Arrested Development (yeah yeah there's a joke). I also like some Talib Kweli and Mos Def. Not sure if YouTube videos post here but this song by Arrested Development is genius, timeless.

lol, didn't expect to see this topic again.

Ah yes, that's a classic by Arrested Development. Their whole first album is pretty good. I am everyday people.

lol, we should get together and go to a show Dave. You up for it?

I've always liked the joke, music is like candy, you have to throw away the wrappers.

Loc you ever listen to Immortal Technique? Kinda like the historian Howard Zinn meets hard core hip-hop..

A little bit. He's got some good stuff no doubt, but a little too political for me.

personally not a fan

I like the classicals or ambiantic music for studying. Some enya, hans zimmerman and lisa gerrard thrown into the mix too are nice.

My family always makes me do the rapping of presents so I'd say I'm not a fan of this whole rap thing.I prefer to just buy the presents and offer them unrapped as they are.

That's my sort of rapping, would make an awesome album too.........Christmas rapping the unrapped version

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

😂😂😂😂 -Dave Just killed me!

[Dave in Tenn]

And here I am trying to be non-violent.

[Extol]

So did Dave and Loc get together for a rap show yet? 

[wat]

We sure did. Dave caught the Spirit and got up on stage and started laying down rhymes left and right. The crowd went wild. It was quite a sight. 

[Dave in Tenn]

 

Here's a transcript.

LEFT I hid in the cleft left the listeners bereft of the time theft
(unintelligible) heft the rap is (unintelligible) deft
and I struggle to heft (unintelligible)
whatever is left is

RIGHT not looking to fight I will rap you all night and I think that I might
(unintelligible) fight  my rhymes are that tight
flying high as a kite (unintelligible) night (or was it knight?)
(unintelligible) fright till they turn off the light.

What's left is right.

(Slams microphone down with authority, but accidentally hits foot)

[Extol]

Unbelievably awesome! Have any video of the incident? Or at least audio?

I love it Dave and Loc, it sounded like so much fun, would have loved to have been there too.

It's not about the music genres at all, it's about the positive affect it has. Just like Dave rapping sounds like it was a great fun time for all, whether they could understand it or not, ha ha.
