Do you like Rap?

[UID=0]

Hehe, At first, I though it said, 'Do you like Rep?'

Well, I'm glad that somebody at least mentioned N.W.A, who were more responsible for bringing this genre into the mainstream than anybody else!

They practically invented gangsta rap!

I quite liked Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Eazy-E etc.

I think my first taste of 'real' sort of rap, was Grandmaster Flash, with 'The Message' etc, I'm sure you all know it:

'It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under'.

The latest rap music I listened to, some time ago, was The Game, who I also quite liked.

Yeah, I quite like 'Start from scratch', from him.

Heh, you can tell that he hates 50 Cent though, as is indicated in a few from him.

Eminem is okay as well, as are some others too.

Also, for quite an amusing, older sort of rap group, but with some good music nevertheless,
there's always Digital Underground, who did a few numbers with Tupac, earlier on in his career.

One of their songs is called 'The Humpty Dance', and another, one of my favorites of theirs, is called 'Same Song'.
I believe that it makes the point, that they thought that rap music was all tending to sound the same,
and I guess that's maybe why they included humor in their songs, as most other rap songs, are pretty serious.

It's a wicked number, which includes humor, (as the singer always used to wear a plastic nose),
for some reason, and includes parodying certain others, like N.W.A, for example,
and features Tupac, Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase among others,
and has a wicked sounding organ in it as well.

There's 2 parts, the first, in a sort of room somewhere, that could be in a college,
as the older looking guy, could be a professor or something, and second, the released music video.
