By saying this you're saying you know nothing about music, I too prefer songs with vocals but that doesn't mean if I were to compare a song with vocals and one without I'd instantly favour the one with vocals. Sure someone playing a piano isn't as easy to listen to as whatever you normally do, but that doesn't make it boring, it just means you're ignorant to the amount of skill and dedication it becomes to being that good. I'd rather listen to some of Frédéric Chopin's work than almost all modern music simply because almost all modern music is just recycled stuff that was done a decade ago, you just get some catchy(but ultimately crap) chorus and loop it a load of times, when the rest of the song is just dire, you can't really compare them.
Quote: "Okay, I am just mad because this is probably one of the most original rap songs ever made. I have never ever heard a song about the Maritimes."
Original? Hardly, just because it talks about something no-one, or few people before have rapped about before doesn't make it original. If you want original look at Michael Jackson, he brought so much new stuff to pop music and was good at it hence why he was/is so popular. As it stands, this 'Maritimes' song doesn't bring anything new or unheard of to the table, for instance it still has cliché slang terms and terrible grammar(in parts) which is all to common for rap music. Sure some poems use slang the emphasis a point or otherwise, but it just cheapens it if it's supposed to be a poem in this case. There are other cliché aspects to the lyrics too, such as talking about drugs, listing names of other rappers(I assume they are)
"We got back burner, good night, alpha flight, Lock Down, Mic Boyd, first word, tro biz and hell town", so exactly which part of this song is unique?
Quote: "But I am sure some poeple can't understand what rappers are saying, the more you listen to a type of music, the better you can here the way it is sung."
So you're saying there's a deeper meaning to these songs? I highly doubt it, it just sounds like poorly written rhyming couplets about a random subject such as stereotypes in some locale. But oh well, if you like it... whatever.
