response 125 of 134: Mark Unseen   Feb 28 16:49 UTC 1996

Rap music.  The music, the words, the way the "rappers" 
dress, their gestures and steps.  It's clownish.  Ugly.  
Music for losers.  If there were a race of people I was 
trying to keep subjugated, I would somehow convince them to 
adopt rap as their music, and I'm enough of a paranoiac to 
wonder if something like that isn't actually happening.

The current state of rap, I must concede, is pitiful.  This is too bad...It
had so much potential.  The idea of poetry read to music could be so well
done.

  I agree, and giving Coolio a Grammy for a gansta rap album was less than
responsible. The Academy ought to rethink it's criteriae. This will only
galvanize and validate a form of rap that has no place anywhere.
  I will not denounce rap wholesale, because I have heard some really
inventive pieces done as comedy tracks, but the so-called artists have got
to wake up and smell the coffee.

The Grammies have very precise criteria: Sell a lot and you win.


I do miss Public Enemy grade rap.  The stuff that makes it to MTV and
mainstream radio tends to be pretty lame.

re #127: don't be so ignorant, Jim. Coolio's album was anything _but_
          a "gangsta rap" album. If anything, it was what rap needs more
          of: positive messages that discourage violence instead of
          the buzzed-out pornographic filth that tend to sell more
          copies.

 I'm only ignorant because I don't know anything.

heh. seriously, don't let the song title confuse you. I know that the
big thing right now is to condemn the entire artform because of a few
unscruplous artists, so I'm a little touchy when the baby is thrown out
with the bathwater, so to speak.

Let's see...Mariah Carey - stop screeching!!!  Michael Bolton, Whitney
Houston, John Mellencrap, Hootie and the Blowfish, Sheryl Crow, Alannis
Morrissette, and all country.  Most of those are overplayed top-40 artists
whose songs sound the same after the second one they release (Alannis,
Hootie...).  Ugh.

Do *not* dis Rush in my presence...  ;-)  j/k  Your opinion...
