question to americans

[TehGherkin]

Isn't Vanilla Ice white, too?

Even people who like rap, like myself, think he's ******** terrible.

[Sucker Punch]

And now, he plays crappy poser nu/rap metal.

Just because he sucks doesn't mean he isn't famous XD

They think Istanbul and Turkey are different countries too.Idıots.And think AUSTRALIA IS IRAN!

I doubt they even know what Istanbul is 
heck, I still have trouble remembering whether turkey is a country or not....or just a turkey. Wait, is there a state in US called Turkey?

btw- why is it called turkey? is it just the english translation?

[Jaghatai Khan]

Actually it is an old word for Turkish lands near Byzantium Empire,evolved in time. Long story short:

Some birds from American continent were imported to Istanbul and distributed to Anatolia in 16 17 th Centuries.

When the British Ambassador visited Ottomans,he bought a few "birds of Turkey" and brought it to Britain.

The actual word was "lé coq dé indie" or whatever it is in French for "Cock of India" (yes the winged cock,not the red-headed one)

That is it. The birds should be named something else.

Ok For firs uhm:


I HATE RAP AND HIP-HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And second once i saw a picture that Czech republic was next to poland and next to Iraq????
And they thought Slovakia has sea!!!!!And it is on Balkan!!!!!
It is in middle Europe.
Or once on AXN there was a show traveling around the world and fightin for million.They musted guesed where are they so:
There were two americans and they were in Mongolia stepes.There were two Mongolians and the Americans were asking the Mongolians "Are we in CzechoSlovakia."
The Mongolians started secretly laughing and said "Yes Yes CzechoSlovakia".So the two Americans said to the phone that they are in CzechoSlovakia.And they were wrong it was so funny.

[Iceblzzrd]

How does that make Americans stupid?(the mongolian part) If did not know where you were you would start asking questions too. What you said just proves that the mongolians are the assholes.(but we all knew that right?)

And rap is the worst kind of "music" ever. They talk. NO singing. About the same things:drugs,hoes,cars,bling,hoods,etc.
Although Eminem is good.

[Chilly5]

Meh rap is good, you just gotta get into the "feel" of it, that hip hop sensation that takes you away. But pure rap is kinda boring.

btw- have you ever tried to rap? rapping is hard....it is an art, spitting out like 50 syllables(sp?) in 20 sec without babling takes a chunk outa ur mouth.

'Classical' is the worst ever. all they ever sing about is love and murder......

Bah, I'll take a soaring solo anyday.   Shredding is hard too .

I beg to differ...
Most rap coming from major labels sings about drugs, hoes, cars, bling, hoods..
Now i haven't checked out the underground rap scene in the rest of europe (nor the US) but here many rappers "talk" about problems in society, their own personal feelings, personal stuff in general..
And then there's Bad Spit, a rapper that ****s around with some of his lyrics, but he's made some REALLY serious stuff too, personal favorite is the EP "Rom 101: Cassandra Syndrom" and "Bag full av våpen, hodet full dataspill" (translated into; "Bag filled with guns, Head filled with computer games")
Most of those rappers i know of do their stuff in norwegian, but if someone here is interested here's some links of the best groups i know:

Bad Spit:
http://www.myspace.com/badspit (Rom 101: Cassandra syndrom is up for download there)

Kompani 69:
http://www11.nrk.no/urort/user/?id=1566 (Slava, Temmelig Trist and Kaliber 69 are the best IMO)

Evig posesi:
http://www.myspace.com/evigpoesi (Not the best, but good)

Mc Optik
http://profile.myspace.com/dyrego (Down to earth dude)

Thomax:
http://www.myspace.com/thomaxbeats (Makes beats only, pretty good stuff too...)



... and eminem is decent enough

I think you didin understand the mongolians knew that czechoslovakia isnt that is only czech republic and slovakia.They made fun out of the americans that they are in czechoslovakia.

[ArabArcher35]

And U.S Rap is under the monopoly of black people

How many famous U.S rappers are white?

Oh, also, Matisyahu is a hasidic hebrew rapper. I consider him closer to reggae, as I dislike most rap, but "Youth" by him is an EXCELLENT song. I seriously reccomend it.

ya, i've heard of people telling me that they met Americans who came up to Canada in the middle of june and july with their skii equipment, thinking they were gonna get some snowy action 

thought Czechs were white and Mongolians were...mongolian looking...wonder how can anyone confuse czechoslovakia with mongolia.

cant you rally blame them? i mean, they do have 50 states to memorize....

I'm into rap music and a couple of years ago i went to the netherlands on a school trip. i was checking out one of the radio stations and they had this dutch music on i guess and...to say the truth, it was horrible :/ i think rap is only good in english, but thats just my opinion.
