It's fucking horrible.

TO YOU!

The sound of a banjo gives me a negative reaction, but so the fuck what. Just say you don't like it. There are plenty of things I don't like.

You just haven't heard the banjo played right.




The only music I listen to is THE DEVIL'S MUSIC.

Not sure that this would convert anyone who hated the sound of the banjo...

Kinda pretty sure it wouldn't, actually...

I tend to only like "mainstream" rap - rap that has transcended "hip-hop-only" radio stations and made it onto top 40 pop/rock stations. As with most music I like to listen to, though, if it's fun to sing along with, fun to dance to, has a cool beat or instrumentation or other nebulously appealing quality such that I take a shine to then I'll listen to it.

I love hip-hop. I saw your other thread but thought it was for atheist hip hop or something. I haven't come across anything I know of from that sub genre that has piqued my interest.

The songs I embedded in the first post were a bit more spiritually ambiguous in theme. They might be atheist, but that still leaves a unrestricted spectrum of spirituality. Only once the fear of blasphemy is gone, you have spiritual freedom. Music, like it or not is a spiritual experience.

I'd rather slam my dick in a car door than listen to rap.

And why does your dick has to pay the price? Slam the dick of the one who's making you listen to rap. Otherwise when your sixty and you get upset because your dick can't wake up you totally deserve it.


The dick never forget, nor forgives.

You're missing out on the unfiltered shit if your prime source is the radio. Underground hip hop has sort of merged with folk and punk philosophy. Like that country song I posted. Same thing goes with modern gypsy music. If you want fun dance music I highly recommend Afrobeat or Trip-Hop. There's also a resurrection of soul. Metal has sort of got back to it's psychedelic roots.

Typically by the time anything hits the radio, it's been dumbed down and buttfucked by a thousand publicists and branding managers to manufacture a cheap product to a broad audience of morons and tweenagers. It stops being about expressing anything meaningful and becomes about slanging plastic discs at Walmart. Of course there are many exceptions to the rule. But the rule is the rule.
