Contrarily, I hate hip-hop…I tried to like it, but I am a musician, not a great one by any stretch, but I get what it takes and I hate music made by computers. I don’t hate the use of computers per se, but I hate the fuck out of music devoid of actual musicians. There’s no soul, no spirit, no expression except for the MC. If he’s not spectacular, it’s just shit, to me. I know it’s very popular and all that, but I like my music with musicians in it.

Like when ICE-T did his Body Count experiment. I loved that, real musicians doing real shit. Hey, that actually gives me an idea for a new thread…[/quote]
Hip-Hop and rap isn’t music. Music is played by and made by people. Hip-hop and rap are what I call “audible social commentary/pop art”
I will agree it’s an expression and it’s “sound”, even sound containing chords and melody, but samples, midi files and arpeggiators aren’t music.

So the tribesman of Africa who once used sticks and rudimentary drums and their own voices were NOT making music?

I’ll get in trouble for saying this. I usually do.

Things that everyone else loves that I hate:

junk food
Grunge music
drugs (especially everybody’s fucking sacred cow: pot)
repackaged fad routines
the media wars
aggressive, angry driving
people that bother me about their beliefs about politics or religion
arguing online (won’t do it)
dealing with drama queens
bad manners
ethnocentrism and racial obsession
squat rack hogs
motorcycles
chick flicks
nosey neighbors
egotism
Ron Paulbots
manchildren
litter
the third world

That’s all I have time for, but believe me, there’s more

Rappers are poets who perform vocally to music and therefore are musicians and song writers. Producers are musicians because they make original music. Whether you enjoy it or think their content and attitude is appropriate and worthy of being entitled art is your own opinion. All genres have a predominate type of person that latches on to the style, and hip-hop is no different than any other genre.

Yes, Waka Flacka Flame, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, just money making pop shit for 14-year-olds.

Yes, Pharaoe Monch, Shadd, Brother Ali, The Beatnuts, Wax & EOM, Wu-Tang Clan, the original Mobb Deep, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Playdough, R.A. The Rugged Man, Apathy, are all musicians.

ALSO: Getting into discussion of what “music” and “art” really are never results in anything because it’s all relative. Just say you don’t like hip-hop and you don’t understand it instead of saying it’s not music.

Hey Counting Beans, I laughed my ass off at that more government thing. Nice.

I now hate Rippetoe articles. There’s a fine line between glorious ranting vs. false bravado/braggadocio/petty sniping, and the man’s definitely crossed it imho.

I hate vans.

I hate airplanes.

I hate Steam.

I hate people who paint a dot or a line or throw shit on a canvas and say it’s art.

I hate people who try to hard to sound like intelectuals.

I hate sounding like a hipster but: I hate how being a nerd is now “what the cool kids do”, fuck, I also hate zombies now that they’re the new “thing”.

I hate vampires and werewolves.

I hate people who say bodybuilders are weak/dumb/cantliftforshit/assholes but will go on to say how they worship Arnold

People who don’t even look like they lift who think they are entitled to say what is the perfect physique

On the same line I hate hypocrites

I hate people who wanna have long conversations by texting

Well, all the cloths I have come from the third world, so I kinda love them for that.

And soon enough they will revolt and demand better working conditions, just like in 'Merica.

Your head would probably explode if you lived in Canada and payed the kind of taxes we do.

I payed $39.99 for twenty four cans of beer(Labatts Blue) last weekend. The tax we pay for spirits is unreal.

But we do have a wonderfull road system and low crime rates. That’s what we keep telling ourselves :wink:

Way to take it so far out of context! Nice job there.

Well, yeah, I think you’re wrong. A poet is a poet, not a musician. A hip-hop “producer” who just uses loops and midi files and edits them isn’t a musician.
I do agree that an argument about music/art is a relativity thing, but, no, I stand by my post. I think anyone who can actually play an instrument would agree.
It’s like me going to Home Depot and buying a book case and assembling it and saying I’m a cabinet maker. I’m not.

*People who write reviews (good or bad) on items & resources they’ve never used. Amazon is riddled with them, so people must love doing it.

My favorite is the five star review given for the timely delivery of a book with not a word on the book itself. Who cares how quickly it was dispatched if you’re just going to put the book on a shelf…

*I think Friedberg and Seltzer movies have already been mentioned, but I’ve never met anybody who’ll admit to liking them. They keep churning them out, with each successive movie worse than the last, so where are all these people who buy tickets?
