| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. I am delighted with my ZMF Verites. They are made to order and take several months. Check out the reviews for the Verite Closed. I have the open but most are focused on the closed. For $2500 I think they can stand up to ones costing much more. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @audiocaseevan I just listened to a couple of Kendrick’s videos and want to buy that album that was on the Billboard charts for 400 weeks. Think that was something like M.aad. The little that I just heard was less complex than “Pimp” but still ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? But hey, I too am happy that this thread has not devolved into some quasi political diatribe. This is what happened to my several past attempts to start a thread about my desire to understand and enjoy Rap. Just read that Kendrick Lamar is going ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Hey Jerry! Is your coded verbiage the way you post on other threads? Do you have any intention of plain speak any time now? Maybe I am square but I find it impossible to follow your coin of phrase. Is this your way of Rapping? Non capisco… Al... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? asvjerry Appreciate your post but have no idea of what you are saying. Can you reiterate in more a more understandable manner? I am sincerely interested in what you are trying to say. | |
| Mark Audio 12P Full Range...An Amp question I built the Pensil enclosure for my Mark Audio 12Ps. Believe they are 91db and a flat 8 ohms. I drove them with 2 watts of 45 SET. Actually very nice. But 100 watts surely will be better. I would not worry about damaging the drivers. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Just checked 2Pac… disappointed. I see that he sold 75 million records worldwide. Surely, can’t really hear what an artist is like only hearing a few minutes of 1 song. But in checking out recommendations of ones to hear, none have the creative ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? I take back what I said about Leenalchi. Heard the other cuts on their album. Kind of like traditional Korean chanting/Rap. Blah. But Tiger is Coming is brilliant. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Eminem raps with some attention to pitch although, so far, is boring. Can’t generalize, but, so far, the Rap I have heard is pretty much the same. It does seem that, for me, ones who pay close attention to pure musical/tonal elements are most in... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Only one CD available for $34 that ships from Korea. Leenalchi. I bought it. And there is something on EBay for $134. “The Tiger is Coming”. On YouTube. Fantastic! Check it out… There is one other video of them that is more pure Rap but still v... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Wow, wow! LEENALCHI K-Pop?! I can’t remember hearing anything more musically sophisticated and fascinating. Talk about counterpoint! Two bass guitars a drummer and 4 singers “speaking” on pitch. Yea, Talking Heads, Bjork and the B-52s dream of w... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? avoidance of verse>chorus>bridge song structure, no need for simple hooks. Are you saying that the Great American Songbook is crap? | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? This list turned out to be not very "musical" and therefore not very listenable. Slick Rick - The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick (Children's Story is a masterpiece) NAS - Illmatic Outkast - Stankonia Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill The Kany... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? My first idea of a title for this thread was “Enjoying and engaged by Rap”. I only changed to “Is Rap a Valid Musical Form?” in order to elicit responses. However, I do feel that my OP clearly explained the former. I do appreciate the song/ art... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? I am 68. Have been a pro musician for most of my life. Thanks for the list of stuff to check out. Listened to Drake “Scorpion” yesterday. Was disappointed. Especially after my incredible experience with Kendrick. It lacked the complex use of mus... |
