Ewww ... Eww eww ewwwwww! Make it stop! Make the tasteless butchery stop! Stop! Stop!
This is horrible! Horrible! Completely tasteless! What utter garbage! What slanderous, blasphemous, horrid filth! How can you even think this belongs anywhere but the dumpster?
Usually, I can listen to almost anything, and it takes something truly awful to get that kind of a reaction out of me. It's bad enough it's a skill-less rapper "singing" about sex, fornication and how it's so great that all this stuff can be found in Virginia. Why try to drag down instrumental compositions from a great game with it? Do you think that stapling that filth to it will make the "song" somehow less than garbage by virtue of the company it keeps?

Hmm. I'm guessing Ninmast doesn't appreciate rap very much. >:
There was some really good rappers in that group of music: Aesop Rock, MF Doom (best rapper ever?), and a few others. The overall sound was really good.

Oh, it's alright I guess. The problem is it doesn't mix well, the Zelda music and the hip-hop. Midis don't make good hooks, you see, and all the music in the OoC soundtrack was midis. It's creative, yeah, but it could do better with just the beat and the MC, the OoC music feels way too tacked on. The Aesop Rock song was cool though.

Oh, not all of them work great, I know, but a few of them in there work very well. I especially liked the Treasure one.

The overall sound was really good. On the contrary, I can enjoy rap just as much as any other genre. However, there was only one song in that entire thing, the one to the Battle remix, that I actually enjoyed. The only other one that wasn't solely about sex, drugs, niggers and hoes was H.E.R., and that was just a poorly done song in general. I really get tired of everyone thinking that just because I hate rap songs that are about nothing but smut, I must not like rap. Is the genre so saturated with such garbage that you really believe the two are inseparable? Really, I don't know how anyone can like that trash. I tried to listen to each song in its entirety before I said anything, and it was a strain just to get through Virginia without the urge to rip someone's eyes out and shove them down their throat.

I'm guessing you didn't hear the Aesop Rock or the MF Doom song then. There Might have been others too without any of those subjects mentioned. Move past the lyrics, then. If you can't do that, how can you appreciate music with no coherent message in the lyrics or music that's in a foreign language?

Actually, I did hear the Aesop and MF Doom. I didn't like them, either.
Rap is not a genre that can be taken without the lyrics. It's (supposed to be) poetry put to a musical rhythm. Besides, if somebody wrote a rap song about murdering teachers and raping elementary kids while eating cheetoes but the song had a really great sound to it and you really liked cheetoes, would it make it any better of a song to you or would it still be the garbage that it is that has no business being put out there in the first place?

I think it's just as poetic if they pick words based on the word's syllables, meter, sound, etc. without taking into account the word's meaning (I actually wouldn't mind if a poem did that either). They can rap about murder and rape all they want as long as they have the talent to make it sound good, it doesn't matter to me.

So you can honestly say that the song can be as evil, malicious and inhumanly disgusting as possible so long as it sounds good, and you wouldn't care? Pardon my language, but why the heck not?

It's about the music and sound to me? I don't really go around applying morals and judgments to things either, really. I'm not saying I'll like it if it's about rape and murder, but if the music is good and it happens to be about that, why not?

Well, perhaps you should go around applying morals and judgments to things. It's the responsible thing to do. Freedom of Speech may give us the right to spout whatever comes into our heads, but personal responsibility is what is supposed to ration it. What you allow to dwell around you is what will come to dwell in you. What dwells in you will eventually come back out of you through your thoughts, behaviors and actions. That's psychological fact.

Meh, do unto others as I want them to do unto me. I certainly don't like being judged, so I won't judge others. I just want to live my life happily, have fun, and enjoy my music.

I'm not saying judge others. I'm saying judge yourself and what you let come into your mind, just as you would judge what you let come into your body.

But I really listen more to the music than the lyrics, and half the time, it seems like an arbitrary choice of words simply based on the sound of a word, so I don't really comprehend what the rapper is saying. Well, for most of the rap I listen to at least.
