| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" I posted the quote on the first page of this thread. And in reading back through the responses, the predictability of the vague, uninformed, and biased cultural gatekeeping is in keeping with every other thread about the genre. Rarely do any of ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @stager Way to miss the point. You mention a bunch of Black American artists adn then lump Rihanna in with them as if she has anything in common. Whatever, go back to your "good ole days" shangi-la of existence when EVERYTHING was better. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @viridian zing!! | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Funny, I read all of them, too. And you're the one who first opined/complained. Seriously, maybe read a little more before you spout off half-baked "alota yomama" cringe. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Yet another overgeneralized and stuck in the past response. Made even more interesting by the fact that Rihanna is not even American. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @normb +1 on WTMD. I found a lot of new stuff there when I lived in the area. The same with 103.1 before they changed formats. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Agreed, tho I prefer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_Sick-n-Hour_Mess_Age | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl I like how it promotes active listening. Like, I have to be aware that the side is going to end and then move to lift the arm and change the side/record. With streaming I find myself reverting more to music as background (sometimes - however, in a... | |
| My opinion; Don't feed the troll | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @shutupuface Nah, I don’t have a problem with differing opinions at all, as long as they’re actually based on intelligent thought rather than generalized dismissals of a music form that doesn’t conform to a predisposed definition. I throw out the ... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @oddiofyl What else could you tell me about the Lab12? I've been intrigued by their products for a while. | |
| Female vocalist recommendations @blackbag20 haha. Imagine if the OP took that advice not knowing who geddy is! I would pay to see the reaction. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @kingsleuy Nice post! I guess because old music or even new music that sounds like older music fits into an impression created by the music that shaped us as we grew up and matured. "new" stuff is going to be different; thus, we’re going to re... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @charles7 really? Is this based on careful social study or on what you want to believe? Or maybe on your own experience? I mean, I could say the same thing about Boomer rock. @davedead Yes, Jerry was an iconic and inspiring soul (though I always ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @ab2ab I quote from you: " and based on its impact among a certain segment of society, rap is a particularly focused medium for social degeneracy." Are you for real? I mean, grow a pair and just say "Black people are degenerate" already and stop ... |
