    I challenge you....

    ....to rap.

    I have seen so many people on this site (and in general) diss rap as being stupid. People say that any idiot could do it, that the beats are too repetitive, that it's all about sex and drugs and violence, and that they could do better. Well you know what? I'm tired of hearing all you people talk about how you're so much better than rap when you haven't even done it.

    So, I'm issuing everybody here that makes music and has a microphone an official eb challenge. I challenge you to make a rap song. More specifically, I want you to make the best rap song you possibly can. The song could be about anything (example topics: gangsta rap, parody of gangsta rap, a rap about why rap is stupid, rap about FFR, a rap glorifying Synthlight, or anything you want!!). Write the lyrics yourself or get somebody to help you if you need. If you don't have a mic, get a friend who does to help you (for example: me (if I know you)). If all else fails, you could use text-to-speech stuff and make a rap (it'd be good to do that if you want somebody else to do the rapping for you, that way they have a good idea of what rhythm to say the words to).

    And don't even bother saying you're too white to rap or that this challenge is stupid. Look at the guy at www.songstowearpantsto.com . He can do pretty much everything musically. Yeah, tt takes talent to make good music, but it takes more talent to make good music in many different genres. Now's your chance to branch out.
    So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

    In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

    So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
    And I write the blog for their website.

    Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

    Evil if I may, I already made a topic like this months ago. No offense, but mine was very organized and made perfect sense. However, no one really took up the challenge because it was too scary for them. I'll try to find the topic so you can see it.

      To be honest, I am waiting for some fellow classmates of mine to supply me their rap vocals about Dido and Anna, from Virgil's Aeneid. It's an extra credit assignment, and it's my job to put a beat behind it. I'll AIM it to you if i ever do it.

        And I found it. If you read the rules, it is almost exactly like your idea. Now if you want me to dust off the topic and try it again, let me know.

              The only reasn you guys think rap sucks is because you define the entire genre by a few artists. If you people would stop being so damn biased and listen to other less known artists, you would know that Rap is a very good genre.

              Examples of good rappers:

              MF Doom
              Danger Mouse
              Outkast
              Del The Funky Homosapien
              Nas

                      OMFG. Jurs, that was one of the hottest songs I've ever heard. You should definitely make an entire song and could you tell us what the lyrics were? I thought I heard "Chrome" in there.

                      Nate: Don't be mad at rap because even the thought of rhyming two things together makes your brain bleed from a hemmorhage.

                        I figured you people would react this way. Like what Chromer said, you're judging an entire genre off of a few artists. Other people do the same damn thing to electronica and you guys get all pissy about it. The whole point of this was that I'm proving that you guys hate rap because either 1) you don't understand it 2) you haven't heard good stuff of it and/or 3) you suck at it.

                        I was hoping maybe you guys would make some stuff that would let everybody, including yourselves, realize that rap as a musical style doesn't suck.

                            Five Minute plan was cool, except that noise it opens with sounds like my ears are gonna explode. I've kinda gotten used to it, but damn it was annoying at first. Oh, and uh, the vocals were kinda....quiet...
