The Rap Star Killed The Rock Star

[Dr. Ed Powers]

Yes indeed, just like the video star killed the radio star. The rap star has killed the rockstar.

Remember the days of yesteryear when guys like Mick, Dave, Steven, and so on and so forth were living on the edge. Fueled by drugs and alcohol, they always had the top women as well as all the other women on their arms or in the bedroom.

It was sex, drugs, and rock&roll. Live fast, die young. Along with these components, the creativity and the sense of danger in their songs and performances and their private lives as well.

Rock stars were the ones mama always warned you about and was the one daddy had a shotgun for waiting for him on the front porch.

Today's "rock" stars are no longer the bad boys all the girls go crazy for. You name me ten bands and I would think they are all the same. They either sing dark, depressing, sensitive shit and the ones who don't , the one's who play fast and rock, sing about their girlfriendsgood or bad. There is not one frontman today you can call a frontman and there is no guitar hero either. Don't get me started on nu-metal and their accessories known as a DJ.

Sure these "rock" guys cite the legendary bands as their main influences but none of todays bands capture that excitement nor have the charisma. You tell me the difference between New Found Glory and Lit. Oh yeah, name at least two members of each group. Couldn't huh? Well, neither could I.

It's the hip-hop guys with all the hunnies. Singing about groupies, drugs and unconditional sex. Rapping about their wild, wild west lifestyles and how they are outlaws in today's society. Guys like Snoop, TuPac and 50 Cent are bigger rock stars than today's rock guys. Lavish cars, big houses, bling-bling and all dem ho's. It's officially Sex, drugs, and Hip Hop. Hey rock&roll! it was nice knowin' ya.

[The Scatologist]

But that doesn't change the fact that 50 cent blows does it?

[The Scatologist]

and funny, how can Tupac get all them ho's when he's uh.... dead?

unless like some psycho ho cult dug him up and.... eh i'd rather not think about it.

[Dave's Bitch]

i fucking hate rap.all of the shit.there is no talent needed at all its bull shit

i think that in maybe 10 years or less music will come full circle and rap will be gone and rock will come back to its rightful place at the top

[TN Dave Fan]

Hopefully someday .... the world will wake up and see that Rock has always been and always will be the only true music left.

Since it was a combination of Blues, R&B, Folk, and even C&W (including bluegrass)... it has all the elements ... but it takes talent to actually be able to create real music... there is no mainstream music in which talent is required to be successful.

someday the world will wake up and realize this and yes Rock will be on top again...

ROTH on DLR fans.....hope to see you in Myrtle Beach this Friday

[Dave's Bitch]

metals king back then
and still is to this day
always immatated and challenged
but it never goes away

[vo5150]

Except for this.... He will save the day!!!!



Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas!!!!

[Soul Reaper]

as they say, "rock isn't dead, it's just gone underground"

the pendulum will swing back again and rock will reign supreme once again.

we just need a saviour.

van halen saved us from disco. someone will save us from rap.

so what?!

rap still sucks!!!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

People will get bored of (c)rap soon enough. Love em or hate em, The Darkness are a good thing. They have managed to bring rock'n'roll into the mainstream. They probably wont last much longer now that Frankie (bass player) has left, but its highered the awareness of the cause.

What really pisses me off, though, is seeing (c)rappers with Motorhead or The Doors or Motley Crue T-shirts on.

Something which will help is certain bands reuniting. Led Zep would be one, so would Floyd, VH of course, Axl Rose getting round to actually releasing Chinese Democrocy.

BTW, Sammy's Bitch(or Sharon, if you will), nice to see that you are now Dave's Bitch.

I remeber Snoop Dogg doing a Metallica tribute once, he did 'Sad But True'. In a Metallica t-shirt.

It was pretty painful. I wonder what Metallica were thinking at the time.

Yea, I saw that. It was Metallica:Icon wasn't it?

Fuck, made me sick. I fucking HATE Snoop. He ruined 'Sad But True' AND 'Riders On The Storm' (The Doors).

"There's a killer on the road"

:D

[BALLYJUNKIE]

hey ......50 cent is a great bass player !!!!

[Nickdfresh]

Some would say that the only thing rap stars killed was rap.

of course.

rap used to be innovative (RUN DMC, Public Enemy, De La Soul) but now it's just the same thing over and over.

[Soul Reaper]

or are they also the same thing over and over?

[BALLYJUNKIE]

hey !!! 50 cent is great guitar player!!!!

[Dave's Bitch]

rap now is all the same,its either some guy talking about how much money he's got and how much pussy he's had,about how he "smacks his bitch up" and how his friends are his family"homies 4 life"

or abot how tough they are because they were brought up on the streets and how everyone was opressing them and holding them down but they made it anyway

its all bullshit

WHERES THE ORIGIONALLITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dave's Bitch]

Where were you when it happened
Where could you be found
Were you at the front of the stage
Or in the underground

From S.F. out to Old Brit
New York to L.A.
The world of metal changed forever
Back in the day

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand

[Dave's Bitch]

In denim and Leather
We were a one for all-all for one force
Knocked Rock n Roll on it's ass
And put metal on the course

[Dave's Bitch]

This is our way of life
A life that was born free
To follow orders how to live
Was never meant to be

Hints of thunder, seeds of lightning
The power hits the stage
The music was exciting
The mania raged

[Dave's Bitch]

We all had the fever
Our ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire
Consuming everything

Metal's king back then
And still is to this day
others imitate or challenge
But it never goes away

[BALLYJUNKIE]

hey 50 cent is a great drummer !!!

[Dave's Bitch]

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT 50 CENT

that fag thinks he's so cool because he's been shot 9 times,does he not get the message

[The Scatologist]

[BALLYJUNKIE]

STUPID BASTERD

[Jano]

Rap 's leader are a bunch of dick sucker,waboritas lover!
Rock will never die!

[Jano]

When you're looking at their video,they 're all the same just a bunch of dog jerking off on some black girl's legs!
Pathetic!:rolleyes:

[Soul Reaper]

Rap 'songs' around today are either about sex or 'the ghetto'.

that's about it.

NO ORIGINALITY!!

at least Public Enemy had something political. they are one of the few which said something different

[Soul Reaper]

here's some 50 Cent lyrics (what complete crap it is):

(Chorus)
I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfucking P-I-M-P
(Repeat)

(Verse 1)
Now shorty, she in the club, she dancing for dollars
She got a thing for that Gucci, that Fendi, that Prada
That BCBG, Burberry, Dolce and Gabana
She feed them foolish fantasies, they pay her cause they wanna
I spit a little G man, and my game got her
A hour later, have that ass up in the Ramada
Them trick niggas in her ear saying they think about her
I got the bitch by the bar trying to get a drink up out her
She like my style, she like my smile, she like the way I talk
She from the country, think she like me cause I'm from New York
I ain't that nigga trying to holla cause I want some head
I'm that nigga trying to holla cause I want some bread
I could care less how she perform when she in the bed
Bitch hit that track, catch a date, and come and pay the kid
Look baby this is simple, you can't see
You fucking with me, you fucking with a P-I-M-P

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
I'm bout my money you see, girl you can holla at me
If you fucking with me, I'm a P-I-M-P
Not what you see on TV, no Cadillac, no greasy
Head full of hair, bitch I'm a P-I-M-P
Come get money with me, if you curious to see
how it feels to be with a P-I-M-P
Roll in the Benz with me, you could watch TV
From the backseat of my V, I'm a P-I-M-P
Girl we could pop some champagne and we could have a ball
We could toast to the good life, girl we could have it all

Abso-fucking-exactly, Reap.

The imagery of rap music today is very different than when it WAS street music.

And the videos aren't very realistic. When do you see a guy that weighs 3000000000000000000 lbs with a good looking 21 year old girl?

[Redballjets88]

[Redballjets88]

[Redballjets88]

[The Scatologist]

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I hate Ice tea.

What's wrong with a good-old fashioned tea bag, kettle, milk and sugar. They have to ruin it, don't they?

[Unchainme]

Anyone else hear that one song Public Enemy and Anthrax did together that was awesome.

[hollywood5150]

I think rap sucks..........I live eat sleep and breathe rock and roll

anythin from 1965 to 1993........ mainly late 70's and late 80's

everythin else sucks.........

[The Scatologist]

Real men drink their tea straight.

Only little girls in frilly dresses with lace put sugar and milk in tea.

[W*NK*R]

This is funny, stop fucking slagging each other, us rockers should stand by each other and stop this rap shit from hittin' the mainstream. RAP FUCKIN SUCKS DIE YOU STUPID RAP MOFOS.

Thats all I can say.

[W*NK*R]

what genre would Gorillaz come under?

[superdave]

Rap sucks big time, there will never be a 'rap star' that will be as big as a rock star

Some would argue that the worlds most famous wigger, Eminem, is big, but his 15 minutes of fame are just about up

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Maybe both.

[BALLYJUNKIE]

what ? rap has already hit the mainstream ,for the last about 10 years .thats when rock died around 1995 ,and its never been the same since .what rock really needs is a young band to come out and blows the doors of this rap crap . we need a young rock band with the total package like van halen had ,when they burst on the seen over 25 years ago . i hate to say it but rock needs a great band ,great songs ,great frontman that the chicks will love too ,great guitar player ,only then will rock come back ,they way van halen did at the height of disco .waiting for the return of real rock !!!
