As far as I'm concerned, rap is dead to me. Been dead since the 90s at least; Paul's Boutique is probably the best it ever got.

Anyway, I don't listen to the crap that's out there these days (meaning: since 1992). But I'm learning this Jay-Z bit in that Beyonce song.

This shit doesn't even rhyme or scan. What the hell? That was the ONLY things rap had going for it. Now it's just ignorant babble.

I enjoy rap from all the decades.

I enjoy some raps. I can sometimes be seen listening to rapping. But usually it is some otherwise melodic tune "featuring" some rapper.

For example,

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/9rlNpWYQunY?hl=en_US& ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/9rlNpWYQunY?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/lgpQzLPWiKY?version=3 ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/lgpQzLPWiKY?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/bHHUhcV2eVY?version=3 ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/bHHUhcV2eVY?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/TN7S8-cizvo?hl=en_US& ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/TN7S8-cizvo?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And sometimes

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/BE9CXWV1alg?hl=en_US& ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/BE9CXWV1alg?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

So yeah, not a lot of rap in my repertoire, but plenty of rap influence and elements.

At first I was excited by the subtle Planetfall in the background, then they actually had Steve Meretzky in there.

If you find Steve Meretzky exciting, you should probably watch Get Lamp. That's what that video was made for originally.

I like how at the end, Ellen avoid avoids giving any opinion on the video.

Kayne West sucks.
