<p>There's a difference between calling something a song and a music, in case you were going to respond later. You can say that rap/hip hop is just prose ( I like to refer to the better songs as "poetry") and not actual singing since it's monotonous at times. But RnB? give me a break, those artists sing. Ever hear R Kelly - The World's Greatest? </p>
<p>And it IS music, any beats arranged to give some rhythm can be considered music. Personally, I find the music in those genres better than anything the guitar can create. BTW, I'm not black, I just get sick and tired of people bashing those genres. (Not a racist comment, but several people assume that people who defend rap/hip hop/RnB are black, which IS racist)</p>
<p>cheers bloodandiron! big hiphop fan here..
i find listening to crunk(Lil Jon,Ying Yang Twins,YoungBloodz) and Hyphy(E-40,Keak Da Sneak,Mac Dre) very very relaxing and stress busting..</p>
<p>PS:FOR THE IGNORANT PEOPLE- CRUNK AND HYPHY ARE SUB-GENERES WITHIN HIP HOP/RAP..</p>
<p>you guys are retarded. RAP stands for Rhythm And Poetry so even if it's not "music" it still kicks your a$$</p>
<p>I prefer gangsta rap (Tupac, Nas, a little Jay-Z), not into lil jon lol.</p>
<p>i prefer heavy metal but i like my rap</p>
<p>Immortal Technique, Jurassic Five, Jedi Mind Tricks, Fort Minor, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, One Be Lo, Lupe Fiasco.</p>
<p>Props to tech and lupe.</p>
<p>KICK PUSH KICK PUSH KICK PUSH KICK PUSH</p>
<p>lol bloodandiron giving out props like he thinks these are the BX forums....</p>
<p>note: if you don't know what the BX forums are, don't worry about it ;) lol</p>
<p>I almost never listen to music when I'm studying, I get too distracted. If I do listen to anything though, it has to be classical music, usually Mozart.</p>
<p>Props To Bloodandiron And Jimbob!
Rhythm And Poetry People!!!!</p>
<p>and this might be a bit off the track but i wanna suggest a few tracks to listen to:
1 Why by Jadakiss
2)The Color Purple by Saigon
3)Sharadaes by Papoose
4)Jesus Walks by Kanye West</p>
<p>I've listened to why the remix, and jesus walks. I hear papoose is sick, so I gotta listen to his songs.</p>
<p>The Fray, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Classical Stuff</p>
<p>yeah that classic stuff is supposted to help in studyin/boost think or crap according to research..</p>
<p>lol I tried that, it never really made a difference for me either way. But you know what helped me study for biology? FOOD BY COMMON AND KANYE...proving that rhythm and poetry CAN help. :)</p>
<p>lol common that BE album is amazing.. its just so real man...</p>
<p>i like real chill music, like jack johnson</p>
<p>ruff! ruff! DMX</p>
<p>This type of music gets me pumped. I prepare for the SAT like I prepare for a sports match. I listen to this type of music and tell myself I'm gonna murder the opponent (in this case the SAT by scoring above 2200 next time around)</p>
