What music does Ron Paul like?

[ryanmkeisling]

Rap..what a frikkin' lame ass joke of a psuedo music and petrie dish psy-op loaded with the most gasbagged, overblown ghettobaggin' drooldonkeys with no talent, lack of diction, bad dress sense, piss poor posture and stage moves, a mental landscape that consists of the local 7-11 and their genitalia dolled up with confetti cash dipped in horseshit and rolled in bogus bling and a penchant for grabbing attention like a soiled diapered two year old..

Rev9

You say some funny shit. I tend to have very diverse taste in music. Public Enemy is something I used to let my cooks listen to in the kitchen, Chuck D had a lot to say.

 

[SonofThunder]

Rap died when Andre 3000 retired. Just my honest opinion.

I do appreciate "real" music more than rap, but I'm not a "big tough internet guy" so I'm not going to say that all rap is horrible and only a moron would like rap.

Andre is a storyteller and that takes skill and talent as well. Listening to his songs, I think he'd be a Ron Paul supporter if anyone talked to him about it.

But anyhow, in my head I see Johnny Cash playing on the good Dr's iPod.

PS - I credit Johnny Cash with being the first gangster rapper.

 

[pappy]

Morons. Rap, hard core metal?? WTF?? The question was what music the doc liked..not what you jerk off to. He is an intellectual and most of that shit is bloody assed annoying to the max for someone with a brain working. He probably listens to Baroque and Classical like some of you ought to with the piss poor showing of cultural taste on this thread. Especially the rap bullshit. Jeesh when are these clowns with the huge egos gonna learn to play three chords?

Rev9

Calm down? That didn't take but a flick of the wrist. Just like most rap music. You think that is an angry rant. I think it is a street corner diss and chuckle.. Rap..what a frikkin' lame ass joke of a psuedo music and petrie dish psy-op loaded with the most gasbagged, overblown ghettobaggin' drooldonkeys with no talent, lack of diction, bad dress sense, piss poor posture and stage moves, a mental landscape that consists of the local 7-11 and their genitalia dolled up with confetti cash dipped in horseshit and rolled in bogus bling and a penchant for grabbing attention like a soiled diapered two year old..

Rev9

Haha! haven't seen you go off on a rant(pardon--diss and chuckle) in quite some time. Warms the cockles of the heart.

Arrogant and rude (steppin all over the peoples toes)--yet so true

Drooldonkeys!

occasionally bring the drooldonkeys outta the closet. they suit you well!

pappy

Sorry to use you like an old dishrag for my personal pleasure. just cant resist. There will however be no jerking off. I promise!

I would very much like it if he liked him.

 

[pointtech86]

Sorry, but Rev9 is correct. Music today is in a race to the bottom to see how little effort record companies have to put in to get a maximum profit. It's why Classical music is dying. It's why people like Kesha, Lady Gaga, and all the party hiphop bands are making millions by being more stupid and 'edgy' than the others. It's why we as individuals need to raise our standards for entertainment and reject this type of depraved and destructive cultural dead end, before we all become caricatures of the 'characters' we watch and lower our bar of intelligence to that of 'Idiocracy'.

 

[eduardo89]

I think he's a black metal guy, you know, Burzum, Darkthrone, Emporer, Mayhem, stuff along those lines

Is Burzum's singer still in prison for murder?

Rev9

First of all, everyone was kidding.

Though I am pretty sure Ron Paul listens to thrashcore, breakcore harsh noise, musique concrète and raw black metal.

I'm a musician..watch it bro. 30 years experience. I can actually play several instruments, have a two octave vocal range and can compose for whole orchestras. I can play rock, rock and roll, jazz, metal, math metal, baroque, bluegrass, flamenco, any ballroom dance style and many ethnic styles like polka, celtic, southern, Texas and Chicago blues. What can you do that you have the nutsack to attempt to warn me for my contempt?

rev9

The fact that "rock, rock & roll, math metal (god) and metal" are all derived from blues (which you also mentioned) aside (hence why it isn't impressive at all).. AND anyone can play a lot of styles, hardly anyone can play them well..

Your ego is really amusing..

Therefore you have one day to program a whole tune as expertly as this. These are all programmed beats, not an acoustic drumset.

Until you do that, your ego is completely unjustified.

Go.

Classical music isn't 'dying', it's taking different shapes, though yeah, the format is starting to lose relevance because the world as a whole is changing. However, a lot of classical music of this day itself is even highly influenced by 'popular music', more and more of it incoroporating samplers the way they're used in electronic music and hip-hop. A lot of people complain about hip-hop requiring no talent, or electronic dance music for that matter. But funnily enough, these types of music are based on innovations from the 'classical music world' and were brought to the 'pop' end of the musical spectrum later (jazz being apart of this spectrum as well, by the way).

Sampling, manipulating audio, the use of traditionally 'amusical sounds', noise, and so on, are based on things the 20th century avant-garde composers did. John Cage used turntables in his compositions long before any hip-hop producer did. Industrial noise was used as early as 1918 by Italian composers. So if you wanna blame anyone for this supposedly 'talentless noise', blame classical composers who didn't wanna to be stuck in the old paradigm.

What a lot of people seem to be scared of is in the increase in use of the 'studio' as the main instrument. Something innovated in the world of classical music and taken to a higher level in dub reggae (which I would argue to be the most influential and important type of music of the 20th century). And you know, fair enough. But culture isn't static. Classical music traditions themselves changed through the centuries and I'm sure there were purists at that time who were opposed to it as well, much like you are.

And I mean, judgign from your comments, you seem to have an extremely poor understanding of music today. You base your opinion on all music on the top 1% who make the most cash? That's like saying that people these days are filthy rich because Mark Zuckerberg is a self-made billionair.

And lastly... to people like Revolution9 and I guess yourself.. music is secondary to the musician and the effort, which is laughable and a reflection of how ego seems to trump music to a lot of people. The word 'music' itself is disgusting because it implies that sound made with a human's intent is more valuable than, let's say, sounds made by the natural world.

If there's anything wrong with music these days, or ever for that matter, then it's the way ego is valued over personal appreciation.

This isn't correct. Mainstream music sucks, but there's still a lot of good music to find out there. If you're looking for good music on normal radio, you'll be disappointed hearing the same 3 R&B/hip hop songs played endlessly.

This is true, in the last couple of years I've found lots of great new bands. Coldplay and Muse to mention the bit older ones, but then you got Real Estate, Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, Miami Horror and probably many more.

And if you like electronic and dance music then you got Pendulum, Skrillex, Deadmau5, Knife Party, Mord Fustang and Madeon.

I think this is because of the nationalism of the people in America. People used to put their home first, their state second, and the USA third. Now everything is "USA! USA! USA!"

I think that fundamentally changes the culture, and in a negative way. It affects music just like it affects everything else.

 

[DGambler]

One of the best ways I've discovered to find new music is using Last.fm's "similar artist" feature... I've found numerous bands via this method based on bands that I already love.

 

[Carson]

Maybe some Motown?

Good one. I think it is right in there.

 

[Live Free or Die]

I believe he once told an interviewer (2007/8) he liked Cat Stevens. I think it's on video.
