What would you rather have.....?
« on: November 26, 2001, 04:42:32 PM »
When listening to a song, would you rather have dope lyrics or a dope beat.  Like which do you prefer?

I'd rather have a dope beat.  I listen to the beat of a song more than the lyrics.

Lyrics... I despise people who like music for the beat... that's how we get these retarted TRL Rappers... Nelly, DMX, and so on... they bring weak lyrics, but they have good production... that catches our attention. I buy an album because of the rapper, not because Dr. Dre is producing 1 song, not because Timbaland hooked up JT Money with a nice beat... I'll be repeating the lryics, so I want something to dope... that's why I choose Snoop and Nas and so many others, because lyrically they are fun to listen to and they can turn their tongue like no other person. The beats important, but hey, its the words that count... stacey adams for example... people shit on this because of the beat, i admire it because of the lyrics, we see it differently i guess.

Both really, thats what makes up the pefect song, ..like most of 2pacs songs

But it also depends on my mood, if i'm in a chilling mood, or want sumthing to bump to, imma play sum music with a gud beat
Or when i'm in a sad/emotional or thinking mood kinda, imma listn to meaning ful stuff with good lyrics.

A lotta rappers dont get famous cause like bpg said, they go after the beats, many kids dont know wht real rap is, so they like Nelly and shit like dat ...

Many artists dont get the recognition because of their weak beats, but they have awsome, influencial lyrics

peace

Beat first. Lyrics have to be decent though. I can't listen to a song with a wack ass beat no matter how dope the lyrics are. I rather read a book.

I depends...I know peeps like Dre have made some wack MC's sound tight over one of his beats, so we be like, "This song is ill."  That's even though the raps are wack.  Y'all gotta admit, a tight ass beat can make you like a song if the lyrics are all that, but there are mad songs I like with tight raps and hooks.

'i need a dope beat, a dope beat'

dope beat + a nice flow that fits.

dope beat + wack flow -> no
wack beat + dope flow -> no

The rappers voice matters to me too...like the tone of it and shit...that's why i aint Eminem's biggest fan cuz his nasal high voice annoys the fuck outta me after awhile...

This may sound weird but whenever I listen to a song, I automatically focus on the beat.  I don't just listen for the tune, I study it.  I think how many different instruments they used, how they layered eveything together, and the drum programming.  If I want to listen to the lyics, I really have to concentrate.  The beat always takes over.  I find myself doing this for almost every song I listen to.  Fucked up, huh?
