    You have to be joking? There are a whole lot of rap songs that are better lyrically than changes.

    six feet under-mainstream death metal(there only good song)

    I'd rather died than to live in this ----ed world
    Mr. President I'm not here to do your dirty work
    Alone, I think I'm fighting a losing battle
    Worth dying not for oil
    NO WAR Amerika the brutal
    Listen it's a ----ing joke and they make you believe it on the TV
    That's how they deceive you-
    I watch and I listen and I question their reasons
    You know what, I don't ----in believe em
    NO WAR Amerika the brutal
    When I want to know the future I look into the past
    I think of my best friend and his stories of Vietnam
    And now I got a cousin fighting in Iraq, and I want her coming back
    I'm not afraid to speak my own mind
    I don't use the first amendment to hide behind
    I'm guaranteed that freedom, I'm born with that right

    thats preety to the ponit and good

    Oof?
    Basically.
    ALL song lyrics suck, I've never seen a good set of song lyrics yet. One's that mean something and actually achieve it.
    Don't get me wrong, I like music and all...but for the music more then the lyrics.

    While we may believe
    our world - our reality
    to be that is - is but one
    manifestation of the essence

    Other planes lie beyond the reach
    of normal sense and common roads
    But they are no less real
    than what we see or touch or feel

    Denied by the blind church
    'cause these are not the words of God
    - the same God that burnt the
    knowing

    see thats a good lyric song from a black metal band thats just great5 song writeing

    It depends on the artist and the type of rap. I'm a big rap & hip-hop fan, but I hate "Laffy Taffy" - I don't even see how that song became popular! :blink:

    If you listen to Nas (before) when he had some politically diverse music, you wouldn't think the same - same with Tupac rapping about how life is in certain places BEFORE he became super into his fame that he went to jail and get into trouble.

    That Lean wit it song is snap music from the south which is MAINLY just club music to dance to, which is why it has stupid lyrics.

    Rap and R&B can be smart, its like a gun - varies on the person carrying it.

    Look at; Kanye West, Tupac, Snoop Dog, Common, Fort Minor, The Game, Nas, Jay-Z & Nate Dog

    Metal is a desired sound for bad things, the very genre title of it virtually entitles the genre to bad/evil things. Most of the time when you refer to metal your referring to a band like Pantera, Dimmy Borgir, Manson (i dont consider him metal, but the majority does), Soulfly, Rammstein, Slipknot, Slayer, etc.

    They talk about death and war and stuff that has meaning if you really look into it. They talk about economies, etc. Hell, take a look at SOAD (system of a down), they classify as metal and listen to BYOB, Boom!, Chop Suey, Toxicity, etc. They talk about the economy and how its falling apart or how the worlds system of governement is bombing eachother to submission (BYOB = Bring Your Own Bomb), not tapping bitches and hoes and smokin' it up all day. Its a miracle to me to see the profound influence something like rap has on the general audiences of America.

    If you consider metal to be a bad influence, look at what rap has done for us. Take a look at metal bands like Manson and Rammstein for starters, they are known for their inhumane stage acts (very inhumane if youve been to either of them, ive been to Manson's a few times myself) and yet, has anyone ever died at a concert for them? They have been around a lot longer than the current mainstream rappers like 50 cent, eminem, Dre, snoop dogg, etc. Yet more people have died at their concerts (yes, died) than any metal concert ive ever heard of.

    The drug, rape, illegal activity rates have all gone up since the current mainstream rap came around. Ofc metal and rock also had a slight increase when it came around, but look at the statistics and I can guarentee you that rap has done worse for any nation in the world than hard rock/metal.

    I admit, I am not some expert on rap/R&B and that very few rappers are good IMO. I listen to mainstream as I dont really care to dig into the rap community (im more of a hard rock/metal guy/techno), so I listen to general stuff like Snoop Dogg, Dre, Eminem, very few 50 cent, Tupac, and random other artists I happen to have heard on the radio and downloaded them.

    I normally, however, just listen to rap to get me to care about rock/metal more. Almost every song I have heard in rap is about the dumbest things around (girls and drugs mainly). I would rather listen to stories of war, death, gore/blood, etc. than listen to some dudes wet dreams of having 3-somes with girls. I listen to rap to gain a higher appreciation for music I generally like (meaning i listen to it when i get bored of rock/metal to make me appreciate it again enough to listen to it again).

    Hip-Hop and R&B are great genres of music. The mainstream is really really bad right now though. Since 50 Cent and the Crunk Rap theme has come out, record companies are throwing out all this money to thugs thinking they will make it like 50 or Ying Yang Twins.

    I'm personally listening to old stuff and some underground right now. The hearts of underground: Brooklyn and Detroit.
