I think you'll find that the "girls" tend to be referred to as Ho's. and "typical club stuff" is getting drunjk, doing drugs, having sex, showing off bling, holding your gat bla bla bla. It's all the same and this isn't just opinion it's undeniable fact, go listen to the rap music they play in clubs, I mean actually listen to the lyrics.

Is it really a bad thing if club bangers aren't the most insightful?


And Busta Rhymes can slay on a verse

I never said it was. If you go back and look at how this started you would know that;

Also what about Big Poppa or whatever it's called. "Through your hands in the air if yous a tru playa!!!!" typical dance stuff.


Then this random nomorepain guy asked for specific tracks or something. I'm not really sure what point he was trying to make.

Most of those people aren't Club Rappers...

club rap is generally about sex. It's to be danced to really. Violence is more a general hardcore rap thing.

have you ever heard rap music that's played in a club? ALL of those guys are club rappers. ALL of their music is used as club music.

Of course it's to be danced to, my point is people who listen to it don't listen to the lyrics, it's always about sex, violence, drugs etc but it doesn't matter to them because they don't listen to the lyrics they just listen to the beat.

People don't care what the song is about as long as they can dance to it.

And violence isn't a hardcore rap thing (i'm not even sure what you mean by 'hardcore' rap) violence is used in almost every club rap ever created

"dont stomp on me or me and my crew bla bla bla"

"i got my heater and my glock 9 bling bling muva****a!"

"get outta my face homie this girl dancing wit me chea!!!!"

all the same retarded bull**** on every single song.

What? Just because somebody's song is used in a club doesn't mean he's a club rapper. It's at best an ambiguous term, I guess - but in general (atleast in H-town), a club rapper is somebody who makes music specifically for dancing. In theory you could dance to D12... but why would you?

And hardcore rap is a genre.

I've never heard of hardcore rap as a genre most of these "hardcore rappers" to me = gangster rappers.

Anyway, of course if a song is sued in a club they are a club rapper (or at least partly a club rapper because they have made a club song). You will never hear a song in a club if it hasn't been made to dance to.

All the artists I mentioned make their music to dance to and no other reason(aside money of course).

But all the music that's made specifically to dance to in general isn't about violence but focuses on sex. The few songs Biggie Smalls spit for clubs were of course about sex, does that mean I see him as a club rapper? Of course not. He has many songs that don't even come close.

And hardcore rap is a pretty big genre to miss. It's not the same as gangsta rap.

A lot of club songs are about violence. I don't mean graphic violence I mean

"I step in the club with my ho and my glock/ yo yo yo the party neva stop!"

If they make club rap I'll bet my entire life savings they mention a weapon of some description or talk about being gangster or in one way or another imply some sort of violence like "Don't step to me im just here to dance but I'll **** you up good if I get the chance" or some other drivel.

And like I say, never heard of hardcore rap, but all the rappers wiki mentions under "hardcore rap" can be related to another genre eg Kool G Rap = gangster rap. I've only heard of rap being described as "Hardcore" in the same way you would say "Dude this guys a hardcore mutha****a". Not saying it doesn't exist(clearly it does) just saying it's the first time I've heard of it as a genre and all the artists wiki mentions under the genre tend to come under other genres as well. It seems almost like an overlap of various other genres.
