Just listened to my first rap record....

i agree.
it's f ucking s hite

You're trying to say you've never even heard the Anfiield rap?

Agree in general, have liked a few Eminem and 2pac songs though. Notably 'The Way I Am' which to me is up there with music from any genre.

Who has to pretend its cool? If you think its crap you think its crap . No-one is going to evict you from the cool room.

I am a bit of a dinosaur and watched my first DVD last Xmas (true).
I really do not get rap. Its not that its an anti-black thing. Its just that its rubbish!!

It's a shame Britain has not had a decent rapper since Richard Blackwood.

I hear Gus from Eastenders is bringing out a record. Hopefully he can reprasent UK on the world stage.

Mainstream rap is utter shiyte, just like all mainstream music.

Rat rap = Gino's charge sheet!

The rap scene in GB has had only one great success. Derek B and his infamous Bullet From A Gun Album featuring the all time classic ''Bad Young Brother''
Trying to fill his shoes since has only ended in all consuming failure.

Actually that is very clever on many levels.
Blowing my own trumpet.

First,get a silly gold tooth and a chavvie tracksuit with hood.Then just think of a few rhyming words, dont worry about an original composition,just nick an old base line from some old abba or stevie wonder song and bang your away.
No talent required.

Guru is worth a listen imo

you need to listen to a bit of will smith.

Rap is about post slavery negros saying we have arrived to f@ck up your cultures.

Like Adam Horowitz.

*Horovitz even

your better sticking to Perry Como

Rap is crap.

I don't really get it to be honest, I mean I accept its top performers are very talented, but it doesn't do anything for me. Bit like the Smiths.

Lets see Dizzee facking Rascal do this

I hope that's the Tom Jones video!

Is it fack, it's Rolf Harris

Bet he can't do this:

lets have a betfair rap!...........all you muvva **kers on betfair.....put your hands in the muvva **kin air!.....even if youve got noi muvva **kin hair.....you are so frustrating you make me wanna swear,.....this is the betfair rap,...when i open my mouth all that come out is crap!.....


see its not hard really!

Why do we always have to put our arms in the air. Is this a robbery?

because i thought the line "all get up the stairs" would be sexually suggestive in a "marmite motorway" kind of way!

Just take my money i'm grey and wrinkly.

I could not hear the words as he performed, i thought i would test myself just to see.
Heard a lot of "er,er er" and then i caught the main line, "have my baby, be a millionaire, have my baby be a millionaire"!!
People really get exposure and then rich from this infantile nonsense?? We really have hit rock bottom.
Earlier in the year i came home late from a night out and put the telly on. He was in a film.
I remember fiddling with the remote as i thought there was something wrong with the sound control.
I could not understand a SINGLE word of the conversations!!

I'd say the overriding demographic of Betfair Chit Chat is middle-aged, white, slightly right-wing blokes.

If we, collectively, 'get' rap then rap is doing something radically wrong.

second line in and swearing already FFS

Fair point, rogerthebutler. So we're left with this.

Public Enemy's Fight The Power is a classic despite the fact that they scared the sh!t out of white people.

Rap is like any other music genre in that there are a lot of good acts that don't get the publicity they deserve. To use 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal as a stick to beat the whole of rap with is the equivalent of**ging off any ten-a-penny band to illustrate that you don't like rock.

Good bit of rap for you there.

Ignore the last link on my last post its just the instrumental

I can appreciate some, there are some early snoop dog songs and catchy nwa tunes from the past.
But i watched that aswel last night and couldn't believe just how shlt a "tune" that was. It was terrible but not dissimilar to anything else i have seen in that genre sinse.
It was obvious graham and the 2 guests felt the same but embaressingly they were trying to look kool and telling him how great he was when he went back to them.

Not a rap fan at all but one my most played CD's is Warren G's "Regulate" I love it........

not considered cool at all by those "who know about these things"

50 cent is shiit but In Da Club is as catchy a track you will find




if your under 40 that is

There are plenty of more progressive acts out there who don't spend their time talking about killing and hoes. Acts like De La Soul, Flobots and Pharcyde are brilliant. Although as someone stated earlier, the target audience for this genre of music isn't really middle aged, right wing WASP types.

The rap/hip-hop that is widely available is pretty much all s*it. As another poster said though, all genres have lots of good stuff if you look for it.

Check out Jurassic 5. Quality hip-hop group from a few years ago.

50 cent represents the guns beeyatch and bling side of rap, there are plenty of diverse artists within hip hop. to write the whole thing off as mindless is in itself mindless. A bit like saying rock music is rubbish because you don't like AC DC. Now the biggest selling genre of music in the world and the success of people like Jay Z and what he has been able to achieve because of his ability deserves respect if you like his music or not.

Saw Jurrasic 5 perform live, absolutely fantastic and second only to The Specials in being able to get an entire room dancing and involved in the show.

Instrumental Rap? sounds like the way to go!

Top-selling proves nothing. McDonalds, The Sun, Primark.
Top-selling just means cheap and nasty to me.
Rap is for people who cannot write or sing trying to kick back against the establishment in some mainstream way.
Its like drum-banging by oompah-loompahs after getting stoned in the jungle.
Its rubbish and so are the drongos who listen to it.
I would rather listen to Susan**for the rest of my life than that infernal noise "er, er, er" and "baby,baby music".
White, middle-aged and spot on!!!

Black punk rock then?
