The Anime Reality

The Beatles would be proud.

Here’s a lump of coal. Enjoy!

Given the norm rap cannot stand up to other genres of music
No matter how popular or accepted it gets. Everything it lacks, one finds elsewhere.
Rap is the lowest form of stealing – fourthly when compared to other genres.

Notable rap songs (that still pale in comparison to everything else in my music collection): Satoshi Ise – Stage of Finalfight: Needle, Staffroll; Kenichiru Fukui – Shudder; Jun Senoue and Fumie Kamatani – Wild Canyon, Meteor Herd, Unknown from M.E. – Theme of Knuckles

Rap bands or ‘artist’s I’ve hard that suck: Will Smith, Eve, Missy Elliot, Outkast, Eminem, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, DMX, Nas, P. Diddy, M.C. Hammer, Ice Cube, J. LO, Pink, Sisqo, Quincy Jones (should have stayed with jazz you fop fool!), Pharcyde, Nappy Roots, Beastie Boys, Busta Rhymes, Shaq, Run DMC, Coolio, Snoop Dog

So you can’t say I haven’t listened to enough rap to know that it isn’t music.

For all those idiots who say I haven’t listened to enough rap to know it isn’t music I can play that game as well. Since I’ve listened to roughly 30% of suggested rap (and wasted much time in the process) I’m going to waste your time. You have to listen to 30% of my suggested VGM list (or other VGM composers) and have a decent understanding of the musical aesthetics in each song for any of your comments to hold water. Otherwise, your non-points are moot.

:(

I’m not.

Realest love song since Usher dropped My Boo.
