In the words of the great Jimmy Pop.

Now there's one of the great underrated lyricists of our day.

It's not really the language, its just a lot of little things (mainly the whole gayster style that originated because of it), and everything else I described is in most music scenes any way so I'll give you that. I do think that comparing Led and Hendrix to an over rated loud mouth with mommy issues who was only popular due to an abundance of extremely bored middle class white american's desperate to rebel and conform at the same time, is not quite right.
But hey, I'm just pissy I've gone from having 3 bikes to 1 in under a week :[

Just to level the playing field, I have to admit I think paramore is awesome. Anybody else? Nobody? Ok...

I remember at intermediate MC Hammer was really the first significant rap artist hahaha ... Run DMC & Ice T (Colours) were some more .. then high school it was R Kelly, PM Dawn, Bell Biv Devoe, Brotherhood Creed more softer than hardcore .. at tech Cypress Hill was a biggie .. the album Black Sunday was awesome .. House of Pain, Snoop Dog, Bone Thugs, Tupac, Dr Dre, Ice Cube etc etc ... they were all on .. old school now though .. still bring up heaps of memories when I hear the sonngs played ..
Dont mind rap or hip hip now but more into rock these days ..

Sorry, as previously stated I'm (very) white and as such can probably not comment with great authority.
That being said, I'm confident in claiming that MC Hammer is FAR from a significant Rap artist. For chists sake, Anthrax ( a Heavy Metal band) were recording Rap songs many years befor MC fucking Hammer was released from his six PM curfew.
In my (very) humble opinion, he was a "pop" rapper. Exactly the same as what Poison or G 'n' R are to metal.

I like the cross-over stuff...and the whole Judgement Night soundtrack is chock full of excellent examples. My personal faves being the Mudhoney / Sir Mixalot and FNM / Boo-ya Tribe collaborations.

I seem to recall all these musicians had their share of controversial lyrics.
"She's a prickteaser. She took me half the way there."
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

And with the exception of Public Enemy, all of the rap bands you mention are white trash rap.
A bit different from the other type, which is what most people think of when they think rap.
And agree with you on Eminem, who's one hell of a poet. Compare him with the likes of Sam Hunt, or even Tom Waits - there's a startling similarity.

Yup I'm with you Jimmy - I like some rap too, I'll add Lauren Hill & Missy Elliott, oh and Scribe to your list. I reckon it's the clever lyricists that I like.
....mind you I have very broad musical tastes and while we're here I'll admit to lovin a lot of Country & Western too.
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

(C)rap isn't even music.. it's just dumb eejits chanting. Reminds me of seeing the protesting blacks in south africa on the news in the 80s.. jumping up and down whooping. They can't even put their IQ reducing hats on straight.
Someone said about what do you have to do to be noticed?? How about write something that people want to listen to for pleasure, rather than to annoy others?
Bruce Willis got it right in The Last Boy Scout. When the fat bloke said I'm going to kill you slowly, Bruce retorted with Play some rap.... Spot on son, spot on..
Is there anyone that doesn't shout COCK at the cars driving by with their rap music playing too loud?? I can't be the only one. And it's always rap. You don't hear anyone with Kylie playing too loud to annoy everyone else, do you?
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
