I have listened to plenty over the years, but thanks to mp3s and Streaming I listen to rap/hip-hop channels on Pandora more than actual albums. Damn now that I think about it, I haven't bought a CD since the 90s??
Tons! I love rap. Honestly, though, if other people could care less, then I won't make anyone's decision for them. I won't push my taste in other peoples' faces as long as they do the same favor for others.
Does Gnarls Barkley or Cee Lo Green qualify as rap?imaps3fanboy
Yeah back in the early 90's I used to listen to gangsta rap all the time.

:D I can't imagine you listening to gangsta rap Hey I was a dumb little kid. Listening to rap wasn't the stupidest thing I did back then I assure you. :P
[QUOTE="Swanogt19"] says the user who's passion is music. :roll:Swanogt19
Not all music. Just DT right? Dream Theater, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead and Blind Guardian are my favorites. I listen to numerous Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, Folk Metal, Power Metal and Electronica artists. Among others

This track may be up your ally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twOK5sXccmY I'm liking it so far. If you enjoy the entire track. I can recommend a few other cuts off the album.

I'm not close minded like Dmad [spoiler] :P [/spoiler] o.O I just don't like the genre's characteristics. That's not closed minded. It's just disliking something

It's just disliking something I don't either, but I still try and keep an open mind, and I continually try to understand and appreciate the music instead of just turning it away
o.O I just don't like the genre's characteristics. That's not closed minded. It's just disliking something Saying that you won't listen to something sounds closed minded. How would you know the characteristics if you haven't listened to any of it? :o
I've listened to plenty of it and I liked one song.
DmadFearmonger
Please, do share the characteristics then. And by chance was the song Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice? I bet that sample of Queen and David Bowie helped. ;) :P

I liked it because it had some music that was enjoyable and wasn't just fast paced poetry with a simple beat. I also enjoy Gorillaz for that reason but you wouldn't call them real Rap.
Right or wrong, no, I haven't. Maybe it's just because I'm originally from the West Coast, but some of that earlier stuff is good, and you could tell it took talent. Rap these days, on the other hand, is easily the worst music genre, at least in my eyes. Here's lyrics from a newish rap song I heard on the radio... "I ain't gon' flex, I'm not gon' front, you know if I ball then we all gon' stunt."
I take measures to avoid listening/watching/following things that I don't enjoy.
Are there some neat singles that come out of rap music? Sure. But for the most part I tend to just avoid the genre as a whole. It would require me to buy an album to listen to them and I have no intention of throwing away money.

I still find it funny that you claim to love music yet continually ignore (read: ignore, not "dislike", outright ignore the very posts in threads) the numerous posts in rap/hip hop threads with artists/bands/songs that, not only go against those very characteristics, but show the diversity and range of artists in the genre. It's almost like you're happy with it, like you're wearing your ignorance like a badge of honor. Just baffling.

I'll try and be optimistic about everything you throw at me
