Raz - please write a rock song. Ta.<br />

Firstly I don't have to write anything as I wasn't the one dismissing a particular type of music. Secondly really MR there are plenty of rappers that do not swear. Lastly "randomly generated beat" are you serious? How exactly do you think those beats come into being? You do realise that those "randomly generated beats" are composed by actual people don't you? <br />
<br />
I can understand people not liking particular things but your reasons, at least the ones you have suggested here are both lazy and misinformed. <br />
<br />
I will give you your due though for at least attempting it. -
Reading some more posts I realise that the music world is insane. I mean "Every breath you take" by the Police....the Piano solo is quite literally ONE FUCKEN NOTE ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!<br />
<br />
But it works.<br />
<br />
.....and the Police are also in my all time top ten. <br />
<br />
MR, that was actually quite a dope rhyme, do you have the cred to pull it off ? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/knuppel2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':knuppel:' /><br />

Disagree strongly. I have listened to and enjoyed more types of music all my life. It's my lifeblood, and I have the hearing of an 80 year old to prove it.<br />
<br />
I like pretty much so any music where I can recognise a talent. I acknowledge what is and isn't to my taste, but I just see no talent in your average rap song. I don't care that i'm in the minority of this, I just think it's utter shit & any talentless buffoon can do it. You can even make a living out of it if you decide to act like you come from "da hood" - regardless of if you do or not.<br />
<br />
MN5 - Ironic that the song you chose above, was covered and rapped over (with even what I will admit are nice heartfelt lyrics) to become one of the best selling, if not the best selling, rap songs of all time.<br />
<br />
Voltron - so you don't like rap either? Cool, thought it was just me. -

What do you think of people like Skrillex as examples of electrohouse/ dubstep then? E.g.<br />

Grandmaster Flash and the Sugarhill Gang were both just awesome, they really are the Bill Haley/Elvis equivalents as artists who basically created their genre..... -

Yep, the beat was created by the very talented axemen of "Chic". I can play the lead or the bass, damn shame I only have two arms.<br />

<br />
As was "Another One Bites the Dust."<br />
<br />
Chic is seriously underrated, but (surprisingly) several months back Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke (!?!) listed Chic's Greatest Hits as one of his 10 most important records. They remain the greatest disco band of all time. -

Yeah, some might call that a dubious title but shit even now they still fill the d floors. Awesome funk.
