[comp.sys.apple2] rap and being music.

davewh@microsoft.UUCP (04/28/91)

He's talking about my .sig:

Dave Whitney	Microsoft Corp, Work Group Apps  dcw@goldilocks.lcs.mit.edu or
I wrote Z-Link and BinSCII - send me bug reports. {...}!uunet!microsoft!davewh
I only work here. All opinions herein aren't Bill's, they're mine.
"We're samplin' - Yeah we're doin' it. We take good music an' we ruin it."
   -- "Rap Isn't Music"

That last line is a quote from a very funny song I heard on the radio
here in Seattle. It basically tore apart rap music. It has such great
lines as the one quoted and others like:

"We sing the same line several times, yeah we sing it....lots.. of
times yeah several times."

The main chorus goes "Rap isn't music" several times. They also have
lots of poorly sampled and replayed stuff from various songs. The
whole thing is a riot. Sorry if I offend anyone with the quote but I
nearly drove into a light pole when I heard it while driving...it was
*that* funny!

  Accually no, but I did not want to copy anything from LL Cool J because
you had already used him. NWA was out, so was Too Live Crew. So I just picked
something off the top of my head.

Like
"Im going back to Cali."

The above "Dr.Who?" makes no mention to one known Dr.Who? of a TV show that
I have never seen... Really I have never seen it!!!

OOPS!!!  What was I thinking? <Highly embarrased>

Well, Geraldo *could* be a rapper, I guess.  Remember the old Gap Band song
"Oops-up-side-ya-head, say oops-up-side-ya-head"?

Boy is it sad when white boys try to rap.   *8-)
(BTW, does funnky = funky or funny?)

Remember: life is...too $hort

  Scott spelling does not count in this instance. Why? Because in rap music
you can make up your own words, plus I could not remember how to spell it, so
I took a guess..

Yes, it is "Gerardo"... but why, may I ask, is the discussion of rap music
on comp.sys.apple?
