I was wonderin' how do you rap fans relate to the music you listen to?
Sometimes i think its ridicolous the way i listen to music... i listen to music all the time... when i wake up i put on a cd, when im at school i got my walkman.. when i come home i put on a cd.. all the time
but it ain't the same type of listenin...
In the morning, its to wake up and try to think about something else than having to go to school all exhausted.. thats when i usually bump some faster stuff..
when im at school i bump pretty much anything.. i just bump it to have something to do, not to be bored, i dont pay attention to the lyrics too much..
when i come home i usually take off my pants and sweatshirt and just lie on my bed and sometimes put on headphones and close my eyes.. bump some real shit.. deep stuff.. forget bout the school day, let the music take me in a nother world, a worryless world.. just chill. thats when i listen to the lyrics.. a track i listen to alot at that time is "Tears OF A Killa" by WC and Butch Cassidy.. great track.
also before i go to bed and when im in bed i choose a cd from my collection and put it on and just lay down and bump it.....
music is REALLY important to me, a day without music and a complete day.. i need to listen to it, it kind of makes me forget bout the other stuff.. i guess ima a rap-addict.. cant help it, i love the music!
music is more than just a hobby.
peace

Man, REAL Important. The reason I like so many different kinds of music, is because I've had people influence me through my life with it. My mom, and my stepmom both listened to country. My dad, until I was 13, all I listened to was Oldies with my dad. At 13, I hadn't heard anything but Oldies, and some country. I started listening to a little bit of newer stuff, but mostly oldies. I fell in love at 16, and she listened to Rock, Nirvana, that type of stuff. So I started watching MTV with her, and got introduced to Rock, etc. Rap, I started listening to at about 13, too, because a friend of mine was into it, I started listening right before "deep Cover" came out.
Usually, I'll wake up, and I always play cd's in my car, wherever I drive. when I'm online, I play songs, and I sing all the time, when I'm walking around the house, and stuff. I also play guitar, so I play and sing daily.
-
yea its definitely important, its soothing at times, it can pump you up at times, you can get messages through music at times or get lessons, so many things man. it can set the mood, or sometimes it can be like therapy. or plain and simply it can be entertaining. but whatever, i can really say its helped me through some stuff. it may have had some negatives but i think it has had more positive affects.
-
Yup, very important. Im very passonate about music, its like therepy, theres music for all types of emotions, dismay, happiness, "gangsta-ness" haha. Seriously tho, like i love deep tracks, a song with a mellow beat and poetic lyrics just gets me high and in this beautiful mood. Sum gangsta/fast shit just gets me all pumped up. So it all depends on ure mood, i like bumpn deep slow stuff in the evening/night, and sum fast stuff in the afternoon etc... Music is food for the soul, your soul has these viberations, and if the viberations of an instrument/music match it, you feel high, its great, i couldnt live without music, peace

Music plays a huge part in my whole families life. There is ALWAYS music playing in my house. Even when we're not home, we leave music on. I have music playing at work, and while I sleep. Not only Rap music, when I'm with my bro i listen to Rock, Techno, and Metal, when I'm with my dad i liten to oldies like Dean Martin, Frankie, Paul Anka, Gershwin, etc. And my mom listens to stuff like Celine Dion and Diana Krall. Music is music to me. I can find something good in a bad song. So I can listen to anything.

I couldn't agree more. To be honest, music is me. I think that is part of the reason why I am always in a good mood, because I have music bumpin 24/7. Without it, I get sad and depressed.
When I'm driving I try to listen to some hard music, I guess to boost my confidence or whatever lol. But at home, its all about the deep stuff. It keeps my mind open and allows me to think.
If I were to go deaf I would prolly kill myself.

Music is my therapy - therefore it is very important to me.

I know exactly where your coming from. I've heard someone refer to music as a 'real friend', always there for you no matter what, and I feel that's so true. I'd say music takes up 90% of my everyday life :o Even when i'm not directly listening to it i'm thinking about it in my head, humming/singing along to a tune I might of heard earlier in the day etc, it's crazy how important it is in our everyday lives.
-
Music is pretty much my life.
-
I listen to music all day when i'm at work, and when driving to and from there.
I don't listen to music so much at home.
Music is like a heartbeat, it ticks my brain along as I write code.
-
Music is pretty much my life.
Yup, exactly........I seriously cant go on without vibin 2 somethin for a day.......
It's like a drug, More addicting than a drug even......It's krayzie.
-
Very important!!
The problem with me is that I sometimes can't stand to be somewhere where there is rubbish music playing cause I listen to stuff to attentively now, so I can't just blank the music out anymore like I used to be able to.
Like Nima said, I always put some bangers on in the morning to wake me up, get me pumped up before I go to college.
I listen to a variety of stuff when i'm at college, both deep and hard shit on my laptop, whatever is being played in the student lounge and shit. I've been bringing in cds to play in the lounge recently, trying to make my fellow students like hip hop, although that is easier said than done in most cases.
When I get home I play the slower more laid back stuff, in the summer this is normally Warren G, Twinz, The Chronic G-Funk shit, and in the winter is stuff like Black Star, Illmatic and stuff like that.
I just love how music helps me cope with any emotions I may be feeling at that point. If a girl at college has just pissed me off I can go home and play Bitches Ain't Shit, and it will help me deal with that emotion.
I love music!
-
Very important!!
Yep Yep... it is important in daily life... people express emotions through music.. and someone once told me that when you sing a song it is like saying a prayer to god about how we are feeling and thinking of new ways of change.... :)
-
VERY FUCKIN IMPORTANT!!!! i listen 2 music ALL DAY except when im sleepin ill wake up 2 wutevers n my cd player then ill bring 2 cds 2 skool (wutever i feel like listenin 2 that day) and bump those all day at skool i get n trouble ALOT 4 havin em on and tehn come home and play wutever i feel like at the time
-
idont listen like very very much.. i prefer producing music insted
-
Music is like life man...By what music you like charactorises how you dress, think and act.Think about it, social groups are basically created by what music you perfer. For example at a high school, There are groups of Punks ,Hip Hop Heads ,Goths(who mainly listen to metal). Music sets the mood for me.I feel like chillin' i listen to deep shit..When im with homies and all pumped up i listen to hard ass shit..Simple as that.Plus I write and rap so it has a deeper meaning to me also.
-
Music is the soundtrack to life...
-
I love music. i listen to it every day. The thing that sucks is that the radio plays the same songs every hour. But im really open to other types of music so i change the station a lot.
-
Music is my therapy - therefore it is very important to me.
-
pretty fuckin important i gotta have music blastin everywhere i go
-
who invented music?
-
Well, I bring my bluetooth headphones everywhere I go. So I'd say it keeps my calm and focused.
-
who invented music?
I think musical sense has evolved through time. I think it's kinda similar to singing birds and howling wolves. It's just a special a form of communication.

Classic thread! Must be a very old thread because people don't make thoughtful contributions to the forum like this anymore. Look at the OG's that used to make quality posts and how much they have now changed.
Trauma- went from running wckillaz and defending Snoop everyday into being a white trash redneck hick, jerry fallwell pat roberson style christian who only listens to old white folks music.
Doggystylin- all he is good for these days is for a few laughs when he makes a thread about wanting to stalk eminem and posting homo eurotic pics of brad pitt or a eminem in a bathtub.
Sikotic- used to be one of my faves at the forum now I haven't seen a wothwhile post from him in years except some funny bullshit in anything goes.
Rodzilla- don't really post anything worthwhile other than some dope keystyles.
Blade- used to add deep, introspective commentary, he's disapeared into obscurity, shrouded in mystery and myth, lol
................
Anyway, great thread. Music has been the best thing in my life, its always there with me everyday.
In jr high I would wake up to some death row shit like the dogg pound, something hard or some player shit cause that was my "image" in jr high, girls were fun then.
My friends and I were also really into bone then, and radio still exposed a new track every few weeks from artist you hadn't ever listened to before, something like ghetto boys "world is a ghetto" my friends and I would watch YoMtvRaps on friday nights at midnight and then sneak out to meet up with girls in the neighborhood, be out til 3-4 in the morning, those were great times.
In highschool as a senoir, I must have listened to the slim shady lp a thousand times. I'd wake up and bump eminems rare unreleased tracks like his "fucking crazy" bootleg or his maxi single bad meetz evil with royce, I had "forgot about dre" and "what's the difference" like 6 months before it actually came out. I listened to eminem constantly in those late highschool years cause I was my self and even my parents were going through depression and everyone was telling me senoir year of highschool was supposed to be the greatest time of my life, so I really related to eminem because my life had become an angst-ridden nightmare I couldn't make any sense of.
These days, I have an ipod withme constantly, so the music is always there. Some nights I like to walk through my old city where I used to live and listen to old tracks from that era, that's one of my favorite things to do. I either listen to mostly 90s hiphop or old 80's love tacks cause I love to be nostalgic since they don't make great music anymore now anyways.
Hiphop is dead, peace

Good post. I agree...A good portion of the posters have gone to shit along with a good portion of hip-hop. But nothing is dead until it can't breathe again. There is still SOME life left up in there...PeACe

you take this forum a lil too seriously,also why are you still here? you talk shit on hip-hop and this board on the daily but you cant get enough of it....music goes through fazes,bottom line. hip-hop is in a drought no doubt but every genre goes through it. just kick back and sift through the shit and youll find there is still good hip-hop out there. Also not every song has to be on some deep,intellectual shit...just chill and dont take music/life so seriously.

That's how I am. I am a serious person. Now, I could spend my whole life trying to change who I am, or act like I'm something other than a serious person. But how much sense would that make?

wtf you just bashed the shit out of me
I wasn't talking about you personally, I was speaking in reference to your activity at the dubcc forum. Don't take it personal. Your my friend in real life.
-
I can't get enough of music. I need my fix. It's my main addiction. When I'm online looking for music, I'm listening to music. I'm the crack head who can find 10 banging albums in one day and still expect to find more later on that night. I'm pretty much never satisfied because I know there is always something else out there that I have not heard yet.
Music produces more feelings than the people that I surround myself with. It'll make me cry, laugh, etc. long before those people will. There is a sincerity in what I listen to which evokes emotions I am so glad to have the opportunity to experience. I don't know what the fuck I would do without it. Music is me.......bottom line.
-
Now, I could spend my whole life trying to change who I am,
LOL
Post of the year. Haven't you spent your whole life trying to change who you are? For instance, your dad's son? Or white? Or American? Or Christian?
LOL
ZING!

Music is the soundtrack to life...
cosign
and also, everything i do has music in the background, and i love it even more since i moved into my apt, cause me and my roomate always have music on somewhere, so everything i do, even if its anoying shit like cleaning or dishes, music is in the background, it was actually a lot cooler before i got cable, that tv sucks your fucking brain in
-
I don't know what mind state i would be in if there was no music. It literally motivates me in every way possible.

I definetly know what you mean. I should just get rid of my cable. That would take like $50 off my monthly bills. I'd be just fine with it too.
-
^ yea its crazy, we moved into our apt and for 2 months i had not tv or internet, it was a little anoying, but all i did was read and listen to music, it was so refreshing, now a lot of times ill find myself sitting around watching some fucking retarded shit on tv, the only thing i love is VH1 classic chanel and on demand concerts
