Illist Lyricists Of This Century

---

And lyricists are songwriters.

well all rappers need to do is come up with lyrics and the producer will make a beat. therefore they are lyricists.

most rock stars will compose guitar riffs, beats, timing, all that fun stuff. you also need to know about scales and music theory. real boring but real rewarding. so i consider them composers because they need to compose the song from the bottom up.

metal sucks butt

Tupac is a king. I miss him :frowning:

Eminem should be in there, screw Nas. He's a racist.

I was talking about the paper stuff you need to learn. Playing it on guitar for me is the fun and rewarding part. I hated listening to my teacher go on and on about the stuff. I'm like "I just wanna play! :D"

how about YOU get some taste! AC/DC is like the only one worth mentioning out of your entire list. Not every one likes your kind of music. That's why there's many genres. Don't hate on others just because they have a different taste in music. And then say theirs sucks or they have no taste.The nerve.

You go girl!

Quote:They used to rap with a message of life and what was going on in the streets. Today's rap is ok, but not the same as it was in the 80's and 90's.That's what really matters. That's why I LOVE rappers from the 80s especially because their rap were actually poetic poems of their life. How they made it in this jacked up world. I loved it because you could relate and the raps actually made sense. It was awesome. Not all rap is about booty-shaking hoes, makin da doe, and grillz. I'm a huge fan of Reggeaton. Caribbean rap. Beenie man, Papa San, and Cham, Chevelle. Sean Paul is "alright" but lately his songs are just about getting laid and smoking weed. His older songs were much better.

ok ok I AM REEEELy SORRY 4 getting out of hand hope i diddent afend any1

He had some good songs. The beats are crazy insane you just want to... dance! lol but when you really listen to the lyrics you're like "what the heck?!". I think he's high in most of his songs.Gimme da Light- about getting highWe be burnin- about getting highGet busy- um... getting busy! lolEye Deh A Mi Knee- I LOVE this song but... yea... not that good. I like many of his songs. I'm a reggeaton fan. I grew up with it. But if you think about it they are soooo incredible sexual. Remember the "Duttywine"? oh buddy. And Akon... the nasty. He shouldn't even be considered one. Nasty bumchock.

Well not all of it is bad. 50 cent is a joke. Lil Wayne is so so for me. Ying Yang twins are porn directors. I doubt it will go back though. I miss Biggie Smalls. Left Eye was really good too. I feel like watching all those old videos lol. Queen Latifah, Dr. Dre was good. There are some really good Christian rappers. When you hear their stories you're like... wow. It's extremely powerful like most of these guys should have been dead seeing where they came from. And they really mean every word they say. They're better than the ones on BET.Have you ever heard Alicia Keys's "Ghetto Story" with Cham? I cried listening to that one.

whaat?? Armondo where have you been! lol The Ying Yang Twins sang that nasty song Whisper. It was like.. porn in lyric form. Nasty stuff but people loved it.And seriously... Alicia Keys. Watch this real quick when you get the chance. Love this songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82xKhu4cw5w

I like these type of songs where popular DJ's will take lyrics from old songs and put them on another songs beat. It worked perfect with this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FOnvT8VGmE
