Will Rap music get me through the crisis.

[Parrot Face]

Sick of the gloom made worse by the number of solo male artists presently whingeing and moaning about the women in their lives who are dumping them. Hardly surprising as none of them are lookers. You know who you are ginger boy. Anyway this week I started playing an album I downloaded about a year ago called Astroworld by a rap artist called Travis Scott. I deleted about 5 songs as they were a bit too rappy. Left with 11 songs and 39 minutes of great music. What I'd call 'progressive rap'. Been playing it every day for a week and can't get the hooks out of my head.

Interested in that thread but can't find it even when I go through ambulancekidd postings. Not everyone's cup of tea but after a few listens you can get into it

Oh dear
Sounds like some scary movie

There is nothing that rap can’t make worse. I recommend Drive by Truckers for some proper music. Decent guitar and that there Southern sound.

but after a few listens

A few listens! a few seconds and I was wishing Cornavirus upon myself

Seriously..? sounds like a cheap robot making a noise.

 

[Parrot Face]

Ha Ha! You were all warned! As for the Drive By Truckers....great recent album but.....far too political for this forum!

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

Not too bad but not really rap thank goodness. Had leanings towards the Troutman Brothers (Zapp) but without the upbeat sound.

 

[Neil Bedwin]

Nope! Don't get on with over-produced electronic music.....and my cousin is the front man for this lot - I don't listen to it.

I'll throw this in...

How about Eminems 'darkness' off his latest album? Based around a sample from Simon and Garfunkels 'goodbye darkness my old friend' he echos the despair of people in the US regarding the upsurge in gun crime and in particular mass shootings.

He's spoke before about his own issues with mental health and this track is heavily putting these type of problems forward as a reason for so many shootings. Of course the S&G original was created through mental health so the whole thing comes together beautifully in my opinion.

I particularly love the way the song ends my merging in and out of news audio reporting the real life atrocities.

I can listen to that. Good example of video working well with music to examine a real issue. Like I said many of our solo artists are just moaning about lost love. Never thought at my age I would be able to take to this type of music but like most music you have to be prepared to be open up to it and listen to it more than once.

This is the full performance of BTS at the Melon Asian Music Awards last year. The first song is Rap and the last song is an old fashioned spectacular, they threw everything into it. 5 songs in all. They always sing livee, no lip sync.

 

[Jev88]

I have a very open mind for music. If I like it, I like it.
BUT one thing I have never liked is the Vocoder (electronic pitch matching effect on the microphone). Just tells me the singer is not actually a singer.

Can you believe it was 1982 when Fat Larry's band released this memorable hit, did they have any idea that 40 years from then we would still be listening to this great number. I know exactly where I was when I first heard this song.

No!
