Somebody post it when found
Tech N9ne's my favorite, anybody find this yet? All I've heard is a short clip from the DMR online.
A week is a long time
rap sucks! but cool deal for jake. i just dont get how the "rappers" get famous and make all this money when most of them do basically nothing. most of them do not write their own music. they go into a studio and record themselves talking. thats it. i say "talking" because they dont really sing... as a musician, i have no respect for this garbage music
which is why i used the word "most"Krizz Kaliko (verse two of the song when you hear it) begs to differ. Or Eminem for that matter. You're grouping all rap into one group when that's just not how it is. Are there a lot of really famous rappers that don't do anything? Sure! But not all of them.

People said this about rock and roll back in the day too. It's a form of creativity. Not all creativity is enjoyed by everyone. I listen to about anything, and with *some* rap, I can appreciate the creative ways they use words/rhymes/symbolism. "Don't write their own stuff"? That's not unique to rap. As a musician, you never play someone else's song? "It's not my cup of tea", "I don't care for it", "it grates on my ears, personally", I can respect all of those positions, but claiming that rap is any less of a creative endeavor than any other form of music is small minded.
I say some rap because I don't care for the stuff that is just about violence, just about being controversial. But, I can make an argument that Black Sabbath was one of the founders of heavy metal with the sole intent of making music to scare the **** out of people by Ozzy's own admission, so even that is not specific to rap.
Again, you don't like it, that's cool, but to dismiss it outright as not a creative medium is short sighted, in my mind.
