I have to admit that I do not understand or enjoy rap music and I have no idea why guys like Eminem and Will Smith have to continually grab their crotch when they sing.  Is it me, or is that just a reall weird thing to do when you perform on stage?

Eminem

What IS that all about? I was wondering if Will Smith’s got a second microphone there or something?  Does Eminem keep his vocal chords there perhaps?  A more likely explanation would be that the awful noise coming from the mouth makes the testicles shrivel up.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that rap music has black origins and black men are renowned for certain physical attributes?  This I can kind of understand, so we’ll let Will Smith off the hook at this point!  But what about white rapper’s such as Eminem?  What’s their excuse for all this strange behaviour, and why are they trying to be something they’re not?

Also, I don’t really understand what the songs are about half the time, if indeed they can be called songs.  Seems to me more like a race to cram as many words into a verse as possible but they’ve got to rhyme or something.  Maybe some talent there after all, who knows!  The few songs I’ve been able to follow are all very similar and the subject matter is the same.  They all rant on about cars, jewellery and women from what I can tell!  The exception again, is Mr Eminem who goes for a much more personal approach.  God, he must have had a miserable life!  Did he really hurt his momma then?

I don’t mean to offend Mr Eminem, or any rapper for that matter.  I just don’t get why some people find this ‘gansta’ music cool, and why do the people who like it play it so loud in their cars?  I especially can’t get over the crotch-grabbing thing; absolutely hilarious in my opinion!  At least it makes for good entertainment.

Do you guys reealize how far away you've gotten from the main question with this line of rhetoric? I don't think ANYONE really listens to rap because it all sounds the same...like dogs barking....The only reason to have it on is because EVERYONE ELSE is doing the same thing. Wake UP MONKEYS!!!!

No one in particular - very good ;-)

Pitsburgh kid, perhaps you could explain what it's all about instead of getting on your high horse and making assumptions yourself.

You made me happy today, finally I found somebody who shares my views on this type of performances.

Heres the thing, NOBODY really cares what you think. If you dont understand it why bash it, maybe try to figure it out, or just go about your life. Everyone has different tastes, but thanks for showing me how truly ignorant you are!

Probably because your a white boy is why you dont understand what hip hop is about.

Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time. And Eminem is one of the few rappers that does not rap about cars, and hoes, and jewelery. If you dont like hip hop then thats your opinion. But dont talk about something you know nothing about. Its the metaphores and punch lines and imagery that makes the rappers stand out. Whether you like the music or not that takes skill. you or any other rock band or any other artist that is not part of hip hop couldn't do that if you tried your hardest. I admit the rap you hear on the radio or see on TV is terrible. I never listen to radio music. But there are underground rapppers that are real good. most good hip hop music is not on the radio but because you know nothing about rap and judge rap from radio is why you think its weak. do some more research before you make an opinion.

It really ticks me off to see these rapcrap singers..and I use the words singers very loosely...grabbing their crotch CONSTANTLY..WTF do they have to do that for? Do they want to make sure its still there because the last ho' they screwed may have had a disease that made it rot away? Oh..I would love to be a doctor and just sterilize everyone of them at birth so they cant understand at 12 the first time they rape someone..why she didnt get pregnant and to avoid any other possible way they can reproduce!
