I can't stand rap. I don't see how it is called "music". I like some sort of melody. The words that I have heard are offensive to me also and I wouldn't want my children to be around that sort of garbage. Just my opinion.

Lose Yourself
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's chokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between trying to be a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
Undecided....music is very much generational in thinking..... if it's too loud....you're too old
LOL
WHAT HAS SKIN COLOR GOT TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF POTATOES?
if it's too loud....you're too old
The only bumper sticker that is allowed on my new car...
(my coffee mug says, You're never too old to Rock n Roll)
Icy Hot Stuntaz!
Someone should call themselves Ice Lolly, that would be great.
I know they arent whities but hispanics are technically considered caucasian
they are?
To be honest, I haven't listened to the words of but one or two rap songs and it just turned me off. It just seemed a rebellious rant to berate the normal society of decency. I've never listened to the words of music very much, I usually liked instrumental music. Recently I have been paying attention to some of the words(of normal music) and they sometimes tell a good story. It just seems the rap culture is not very well adjusted to life without drugs and immoral sex practices, with violence mixed in. Maybe I've just seen the bad ones.

Undecided, Id say you got a pretty accurate picture of 90% of rap music with your sampling of 2 songs.
Soladad, according to the US government they are... Caucasian is pretty much a meaningless distinction
Who can understand the words?
I just like any music with a good sound.but....I have no idea what the rappers are saying...
And I am of the "older generation"..
As far as the loudness goes..as you grow older you realize how important it is to be able to hear! (Cause you can't see..)
In a few years you are going to see a rise in the sale of "Hearing aids"..to the YOUNG...
Why do they play it so loud?
Any thoughts on this?
I think it's because they want others to hear how "Cool" they are..they are "Cool" because they listen to a certain artist..
Just like they are "Cool" by wearing certain clothes...
Snoozy....one cool quiet cat..who appreciates her hearing...
ps..you know the music is too loud when the windows of your house rattles when their car goes by...
