Should I like music because of it's sophisticated taste (whatever that means)
Good music is just good music to me.

I like whatever is pleasent to my ears.
I do not conform to one genre alone

Heck, even soca better than rap. . . . .

I dislike them both.
classical music ------> b-o-r-i-n-g
most american rap music ------> trash


frech, euro rap aren't bad.

@ sharetroll:

see the reason why this topic is just another dumbass topic?? 'cause people like you don't have anything tangible to say and create dumb threads to gain attention. . .

lol
this is why i said my2cents got it so right on page one

Definition of music (from my JS3 class ) - the organization of sound that is pleasant to the ear.

Definition of music 2 (from my personal experience ) - one manz meat is another manz poison.

Asking which is better is like comparing apples and oranges. Now if you said, Beethoven is better than Bach, or Gangsta rap is better than plain old rap, I would engage in the discussion

and still i have not heard how the two differ, or which is better and i am with you Naijafan here

naijafan:

this thread should've been closed two minutes after it was started.
mozart doing a song with nas, very likely.
bach with eminem - god! that song will be off the hinges!

y'all stop hatin' unnecessarily and get something betr to talk about.

p.s. anyone noticed that those diehard fans of classical music in here talk trash about rap while those standing by rap talk good about classical music. if a music causes hate, then i'd rather not listen to it

Gbade still we can't see this so called classical music types and we have not seen the comparisons for those who claim to know the genre

I HAD a friend with a frightening prejudice towards any music that smells like hip hop and he listens to some heavy metal with the most demeaning lyrics. It was really hard to resist punching him in the face with such a sheer exhibition of hypocrisy. Every second he'd tell you "Oh I just listen to classical, yeah, classical. . . oh I am talking about real classical. . . we are talking about , real classical here" So I got so curious and asked him the 'classical' he was huffing about and he started to mention stuff from Elton John and Wes Life. . . sure I listen to those stuff but I seriously believed he was drinking Izal. 'Classical' is apparently the most misused term in music, MOST MISUSED . . . if we go by the books, all these music we lump into 'classical' are not even anywhere close.

Like some of ya have pointed out, people need to listen to whatever appeals to them without fear. . . be proud of ya music. I heard Bush was caught nodding his head and rapping "Go Shurty Iz ya Birthday" of course he said a big fat "TUFIAKWA!" when he was approached by the press. One day one day, we will catch him with his hand in the cookie jar. . . I mean, with a
Ja Rule bootleg CD.

Lol @ grafikdon.

@ Eurphoria:

what it do, baby boo? Yeah, in the long run, them prejudiced asswipes don't have anything tangible to say. Just a lot of trash-talking that amounts to nothing in the end.

and this is to sharetroll who says rappin' requires zero talent.

what do you understand by this line:

like damaged clocks in the refuse, you's a waste of time

I really dont want to start an argument with you but your response to this post'll determine.

Classical music and rap "music" caters to polar opposites of the spectrum. Classical music was written for kings and queens and emperors and czars as well as the elite public people. Rap caters to the people on the streets. Classical music so much better b/c  rap isn't able to express the wide range of emotions classical can.

Real mature of you. . . .Childish namecalling. . . . . .I'll just let this one slide for the time being, "internet gangsta", I doubt you could even say the very same thing in front of my face. . . .You're just showing an act of cowardice, nothing more.

yea right. you just prove to me that you dont knw what it takes to do real hip hop.

like damaged clocks in the refuse, you's a waste of[i] time[/i] - gbade.x (battle with shishi)
Explanation: clocks tell time. refuse can also be known as waste.

some other lines to get your lil brain busy.
get off my manliness or i'ma Bleep you up - naijafan (the unfinished chronicles)
Literal meaning: get off my privates, or i'll end up havin' sex wit you
Actual meaning: stop being interested in my business, or i'll deal wit you

jesus saves but ludacris withdraws - ludacris (rap city freestlye)
there is a popular saying that jesus saves, luda then put it in the bank context.

im sumthn like a virgin cow because i don't Bleep wit no bull - shishi (battle with gbade.x)
am i supposed to explain that? well, bull can also be said to be a short form for bullsh*t.

do you listen to talib kweli, eminem, some songs of nas, etc. then you'll realize that altho we have a lot of unitelligent rappers out there, that dont mean real hip hop doesnt require some brain work.

@Sharetroll
there's an easy way to tell if rap needs no talent; get a microphone, a tape recorder and make some beats (or download pre-made ones) and rap. I mean it, just for kicks.
Think you can easily replicate what's out there? think again.

There's a whole lot of different ideas out there about what kind of music is best. I lov erap music, but i don't mind listening to Enya once in a while, and i absolutely love Disney soundtracks. Not everyone who loves rap music is a gangster.
Like someone said here, one man's meat is another man's poison. Different strokes for different folks. I expect any educated person to know this.

On the flip side, i have a problem with the attitude of many people on nairaland like yourself. You start a topic, ending your intro post with the word 'Discuss' then you show no desire to listen to any conflicting views, instead trying to force your strong anti-rap views on others.
many of your betters have spoken against rap music, proclaiming it unpleasing to the ear. The same allegation is usually directed against Rock/Metal. However, what no one else does is to accuse rap music of being a zero-talent shebang. How myopic can you get?

and any ape can belt out a few lovey-dovey words and claim to be giving out classical music. next time you want to prove a point, record something with a beat and upload an mp3 file so we can listen to you. alternatively, you can upload a youtube video.

Stop being an attention seeker and keep your taste in music to yourself!
What next? Boradway vs Hollywood? Opera vs Rock?

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Lol @ texazzpete, you hit the nail on the head! Lame-ass dude called sharetroll is truly pathetic. Creating dumbass topics just to gain attention. . . yo, why don't i see u often on them other boards, only the Technology section??

@ Eurphoria:

what it is, ma?

@ naijafan:

lol, keep it pimpin', pimpin'. I don't need ta waste ma time educating this dude. Dude's absolutely ignorant.

@ sharetroll:

dude, u might as well be standing in front of me and i'd tell you as it is: you are a prejudiced asswipe who is totally ignorant and doesn't know jack about Hiphop and i bet, also ignorant of Classic music.

I can also bet it, you started this dumb topic and mentioned Classical music just to make yourself look "sophisticated" and important.

Keep loving yourself abnormally. There's a diagnosis for your medical condition. It's called A.E.S.A.K (Auto Erotic Self Ass kissing)

@texazzpete

i'ma use gbade.x's words. Right on point.

I'm highly disappointed this thread is still on, is the dude bringing the Circus to Nairaland?

Glad you studied stuffs bout Classical, hope you go into it soonest. when you get broke, ask Alicia keys what she did with her study of classical Piano

And don't forget her[b] collabo with NAs, the Warrior Song[/b].

Like Eminem said: Limp Bizkit, NObody listen to Techno, but I won't say nobody listen to classical

On my deathbed I had loads of those classical tracks, isht man, those songs take you straight to heaven, then one beautiful morning, i pushed those songs aside and reverted to my main man Tupac Shakur with "Life Goes On!" I ain't seen no classical track coming close to that!

And by the way Sharetroll,
Tell me, is RAP just about rhyming? then that's some acapella you are talking of, because 99.9% of RAP comes with a soundtrack and you can't tell me those soundtracks came from heaven, some of them, even originally classical like 'See you when you get there by COolio", see we need some quality classical tracks from your peeps so we can make platinum music sampling on those

And then to make it worse, my lil knowledge of classical, its just about sequencing and varying keys and tones and i can easily write a program (like 4 lines of code) and give you something that can match if not surpass all o' what Mozart did in his lifetime. Scattering the keyboard and playing pranks on Violin and you have the right to tell me Nas' I Can was not a masterpiece? (the soundtrack of course was classical sef)! You better wake up, Classical is DEAD!!! Hip hop's taking over, the earlier you realize the better for you else, you end up with elephants, snakes and apes in the circus!!!

Telling me Bull ish RAP requires zero creativity then what the heck is classical without INSTRUMENTALS! Ask Timbaland, Dre, P.Diddy and R.Kelly how they do it. OLODO!!!

Hope you also dress like Ludwig Van. . .

lol lmao nuff said .

tex,naijafan, christino, gbade --------ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, my feelings are truly hurt on a messageboard, LOL

You guys should stop getting all butt-hurt, when one gives his/her opinion. I took CLASSICAL ARTS last semester at the U. Never claimed to be a "connasieur". You guys should cease to spew nonsence.

you are the one spewing nonsense, dumbass clown.

posh, sophisticated, wealthy people listen to classical music so therefore it must be the best genre? <----- are you implying this, sharetroll.

that's really shallow in my opinion.

gbade. x:

you are the one spewing nonsense, dumbass clown.

Summary of my posts:

- Classical music better than rap (MY OPINION)

- Rap doesn't require any real talent (MY OPINION)

- You can't group all rap in the same category (mainstream) (MY OPINION)

- Some genres I considered better than rap.

Never said rap was bad. . . . . .

problem?

gbade. x:

you are the one spewing nonsense, dumbass clown.

OK, Internet "gangsta".

Like most of you, I enjoy all genres of music (except bluegrass). I even posted my interests in Kanye West (apparently overlooked).

So tell me, Who is really OWNING who?
