I dont give a fuck what people are saying in a song. I want to hear a catchy/interesting melody or some interesting instrumentation. For myself, poetic structure has nothing do with music. I enjoy whistling more than talking on a beat.
Am i just not listening to the right stuff? Or is rap just for people who particularly care about lyrics and beat and not really melody? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Songs with great beats? I love these beats. the first song sounds like someone is hitting random keys on a synthesizer. all the notes are in key, however, there is no direction to the music, it keeps repeating itself over and over and over again. It's like the background music on the title screen of a video game. it could never end and loop forever ... Copied to Clipboard!

FighterStreet posted...Sada_Pop posted...What do you listen to? I was taught piano from ages 6-16 but hated it. I never was any good because i thought it was so boring reading music and playing classical beethoven, thus i never practiced or improved. Around 18 though i came back to music. I started to play 10 hours a day writing improv music. started banging on the keyboards and evnetually i learned how to play in most keys out of muscle memory. i became actually pretty decent for a dude who sits at his piano alone in his house. Im not any good and wouldnt subject CE to my stuff, but playign and improv piano is probably one of the most relaxing things in existence for me and helps tone down the anxiety so, yes. i do have some backgroudn but nothing on the level of someone who is actually musically trained ...

I think the more pertinent questions are why you want to like something you clearly don't like by design and also why you specify this distaste of hip-hop when there are other total genres whose main motifs are repetition or verse/chorus/bridge structuring

I'm really surprised no one else is talking about him. When you're talking about lyrics and flow, Rakim is still probably the greatest (especially with flow) but there are other contenders.
