Sounds like KharBevNor is, given his tastes and attitude.

Historically, black people in the US have developed a partially separate culture than whites due to the way they were treated.  This culture has obviously affected their musical style, including what aspects of the music are responsible for the music's emotional impact (any separation in culture can affect this).  Naturally, approaching and interpreting hip-hop by comparing it to how British industrial artists make their music effective is misguided.

Again, it's like expecting "guitar riffs" in classical music.  You said "classical has riffs", and that goes with my point: what makes "riffs" inherently a good thing?  They just happened to be part of the music you grew up with and are therefore familiar to you.  And why do "riffs" overtake "guitar" in importance?  There are plenty of young rockers who only enjoy distorted guitar music, so that guitars have become a part of the standards in which they approach music.  And we can all see that if they approach classical with the notion of guitars being the main effective form of musical technique, and then reject it based on those grounds, seemingly ignorant that classical is not based on distorted guitar, it would be kind of silly.  Why not the same for hip-hop and riffs (and similar such standards)?

Man, look, I get it. All you're saying is that black people are inherently inferior in regards to making music. That's your opinion, I guess, but we don't really need it here.

Oh man, you guys are totally missing the point of hip hop by suggesting all these actually decent rappers like Aesop/ Mos Def/ etc. whatever.  The point of hip hop is that it's fucking hilarious.  Please listen to the lyrics in this Diplomats song and if you don't pee your pants from lauging then you take yourself too seriously and we can't be friends.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=rzzO9tdgMtM.

I should have caught that. I have this Finnish mate named after him and it's kind of hilarious because a)he is about as far from Jimi Hendrix as you could possibly be and still be human and b) he pronounces it 'yimmy'.

Citizen Cope doesn't really use repetitive beats that I can recall, but he's barely Hip-Hop. He's kind of hard to pin down into one genre at all though.

If you like Mark Ronson's stuff, I've got a hilarious version of him doing Toxic with ODB rapping over it which is worth listening to just for the entertainment value.

And of course, there's Wipe Out 2000 by Steve Vai. I have no clue who's rapping on that song, though.

I'll upload these when I get home.

I'd suggest Talib Kweli's "Eardrum" and second Black Star's self-titled, but those two albums sound like normal hip-hop/rap and therefore, as good as they are, you probably will have a hard time appreciating them.

I get where you're coming from, though. I used to say that the only genre I didn't like any songs from was metal. Any metal. Then I found Rob Zombie, but the only reason I like him is because some of his stuff is danceable and well, I'm a dancer. Sometimes the things that make a genre what it is just don't appeal to you.

I think most rap/hip hop is utterly tasteless shit, but there are a few good bands in this genre.
Asheru
Rage Against The Machine
Afroman
Gorillaz (not really hip hop but there is rapping in it)

There are most likely others out there that are just as good as these, these are the only ones I could think of off the top of my head.

On a different note:
The Beastie Boys are just plain awful.

What the image is describing is hip-hop and rap, Microsoft just clearly doesn't know what it's talking about.  Although the image clearly has a few flaws mainly it doesn't have a subject of "money" or "how awesome I am" It's pretty great.  But I'm sure the next version of Microsoft Hit Wizard will be updated so that it doesn't offend you so much.

I wish I listened to the people on this forum prattling about indie bands that no-one else cares about so I could insult some of them...
