WestboundSign! Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 everytime i hear the word rap i could puke. sorry in my opinion rap and rock doesn't fit. linkin park is the best example for that I get what you mean. Normally, I really don't like rap. But just one person described it as rap. That doesn't mean anything. I'm gonna listen to all this first, probably I'll like it? You can't generalize everything, I think. It might sound totally different from what we think of when we hear the word rap. I understand that you're completeley worried, but hey, just relax and listen to the song when the time has come. Then you can judge it again. And if you don't like it.. then after all, it's just one song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieterv Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Way to be closed-minded about it. Someone described it as rap, and as soon as that 1 person made a connection between the music and the word "rap" it's bound to be bad and makes you angry?

Comic Sans Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sorry if I don't know (no, Billie, I don't know ), but which song is "rap" according to this interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think I'm the only one who likes rap... Sorry if I don't know (no, Billie, I don't know ), but which song is "rap" according to this interview? Nightlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Sans Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hmm... It's ok, I think. There are some parts in some GD songs that are a bit "rap", and they are awesome the same, so I think Nightlife will be a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 rap parts? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, GREEN DAY?????? rap= i won't exclude green day. if they going to do that, my whole philosphy is broken. Nearly all the lyrics of Like A Rat Does Cheese (including the title) are taken from old rap songs. Tre has said his favourite album of all time is Straight Outta Compton by NWA. Billie is a Beastie Boys fan. Green Day have never been closed minded towards rap. It's just another style of music and there's good and bad like with every other style. There's crappy rock and good rock and there's crappy rap and good rap. Green Day have been influenced by all kinds of different music over the years and if they've been influenced by rap in one part of one song I'm pretty confident it's gonna be the good kind! But seriously we have no idea what this song's gonna sound like yet. This is just the first impression of a couple of people and we don't even know in what way it sounds like rap. No point in freaking out before we hear the song. I think I'm the only one who likes rap... Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think I'm the only one who likes rap... Nah, good rap can be cool just like any genre can be if the musicians are talented. I can get into stuff like the Beastie Boys. I'd actually find it pretty cool if this one song was like that, but it might not even be at all. If it was like a 50 Cent song that'd be a different story, but it's not as if it is going to be. These assumptions aren't going anywhere until we actually hear the song...

Mary711 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 i only hate rap music. that music makes me angry. Well, when the time comes that we get to listen to the song and you don't like it, then don't listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatserKinx Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 You know we'll get the albums and be like "Shit, we were worrying over nothing." This is Green Day guys. When have they ever made a HUGE career ruining mistake. Sure we all have our criticisms about certain songs even whole albums but we are all here because we see that Green Day are more than those experiments that haven't been perfect. That's the thing not everything is going to be perfect. But I've said it before and I'll say it again- we just have to trust them until we hear the albums. It might be something so different that the only description the inteviewer can think of is "rap" or "hip hop". You're not going to like everything but that's life.

InvaderPhantom Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Jesus Christ, some of you people are really fucking ignorant. Reading stuff like "ALL RAP IS SHIT BLAH BLAH" is so fucking ignorant it makes me wanna punch someone. Of course I dislike mainstream meaningless gangsta hip hop just like the next person and I prefer rock music, but saying that "all rap is shit" is incredibly ignorant. There's a lot of great rap music out there, like the Beastie Boys or De La Soul. Judging the entirety of rap music by shit like Lil Wayne who only rap about bitches and money, is like judging the entirety of rock music by crap like Nickelback or something. Goddammit, just because there's a "rap part" in a Green Day song doesn't mean the band does a fucking hip hop song. "Rapping" is just another way of conveying a voice to music. Just because the music has rapping in ONE SONG, doesn't even mean that the song will have hip hop beats or something. Rapping is just another way of singing, just without melody and with more focus on the rhyming and the rythm. Go listen to Zebrahead, which is regular punk rock but with some rapping in it and it sounds kickass. [media=] Rapping can be fucking awesome and don't judge a whole fucking genre of music just because of the shit that you hear on the radio. Also, it is ONE FUCKING SONG. Also, IT IS FUCKING GREEN DAY. THEY WILL NOT BRING OUT MUSIC THAT IS CRAP. Jesus Christ, you people sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is Green Day, people. Let's be real here, there won't be a backing track produced on a computer, it will be a song played by musicians because green day are a band, they play instruments, and they sing. If what we've heard is true and there is some form of rap, it will be only a tiny part of the song, will be a tiny element to it. Trust green day, and if you don't like it, it's one song out of almost 40 new ones we're getting. Just skip it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Sans Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sum 41 sang a rap part in Fatlip, and that was one of their hits and a wonderful song then. It's Green Day guys, how can it be crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just wanted to say that! Fat Lip is a perfect example for a punk rock song mixed with some rap elements. I mean who the fuck doesn't like Fat Lip? It's like one of the catchiest punk rock songs of all time. If that Green Day song with rap elements becomes as epic as Fat Lip, I couldn't be happier.

solongfromthestars Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I was gonna point out Fat Lip but I thought I'd just get bashed by all the Sum 41 haters. That's a great example. And omg yes Zebrahead, they're an awesome band too. But seriously, is there any point in this discussion continuing until we at least know more about the song, let alone hear it? I think we've pretty much come to the conclusion that you can ignore it even if Nicki Minaj is a guest rapper and you hate it. No different to skipping Christian's Inferno or Last Ride In...
