"I am looking forward to the death of rap" - Gene Simmons

[Geek Nasty]

Kiss was a bunch of nerdy ass jewish kids who figured out how to make money playing make believe rock star. Gene Simmons is a fukkign clown; makeup and all.

And Gene Simmons was KIZZing rap's ass not 5 years ago because he said hip hop is honest. Those are HIS words.

[El Jefe]

"I am looking forward to the death of rap" - Gene Simmons

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

What an a$$hole

I'd be mad but he literally shytted on every single genre of music in this interview

he's just an old man living in the 70s... i didn't see a single compliment to anything, rock included

 

[ML29]

Who?

 

[ezrathegreat]

Old Jewish cac hates rap what's new.

 

[Anti-Anime]

u gon be waiting a long time cracka

 

[shopthatwrecks]

: fukk that ollll in-a-gadd-da-vida face ass nikka

all he did was talk in tune

 

[Tic Tac T O]

"I'm looking forward to music coming back to lyrics and melody, instead of just talking."
yeah, like Strutter KISS as a whole was as basic as they come, he should be the last one to talk down on other bands and genres for their creativity or talent


I don't even listen to rock like that nowadays but there's plenty of bands I've come across that have impressed me more so than the few bands he mentioned from back in the day. If I can give bands from Paramore to Killswitch Engage a chance and end up enjoying the music, then this old fukk ain't really listening himself and is just talking shyt for the attention

 

[TheDarkskinnedDrake]

But kiss led the game in melody and lyrics get all the way the fukk outta here with that shyt.

 

[jackswstd]

Makes me sick they had Pac bring them out at the Grammy's one year. Gene better hope Sophie don't start hanging around rappers someday.

 

[Insensitive]

Rap in its form today? Not just counting people rhyming and poetry? As in the popular music pressed in records etc etc?

Nah man

If we start at counting recorded music only, Rock N Roll was around from 50s til about 2000 where it took a plunge and started losing relevancy yearly

Hip Hop as we know it been around since the late 70s, making it just shy of 40 years old.

Not to mention R&B, Blues and Jazz eclipse both in age with both Jazz and Blues over a hundred years old.

 

[Insensitive]

Okay by that logic then, how is something like Young Thug and Future comparable to Sugarhill Gang?

Calling me moron getting all in your feelings

Move those goalposts though

One thing we can say is 808's are still an immensely popular instrument in Hip-Hip music . The "808" in Hip Hop is
comparable to the "Guitar" in Rock music.

It's used in different ways but its still a massive part of contemporary Hip-Hop music.

Even though I loathe Young thug and don't find him to be particular amazing at anything. His music (Rapping or Production...) have direct antecedents in Hip-Hop music. He isn't exactly some anomaly.
