Old school rap is actually good and different from Gangsta Rap.

 

This is a blast. Felt sucked in.

[Human Mint]

Good rap about partying.

 

[Human Mint]

From the examples of rap I know, none are red.

Sci-fi rap:

That compilation is actually a combination of Old School Hip Hop and Golden Era Hip Hop.  These are the genre labels.

I bet @Leo Gura's least favourite sound ever engineered is rap-metal hahaha

I must say though, as my consciousness has risen over the years, I have naturally not felt as much emotional resonance with rap & metal like I used to. Particularly rap. I do think for a lot of people that as you go deeper on the spiritual path, your dominant music taste reflects that. I am a huge shoegaze fan but at this time in my life, the melancholic, bittersweetness of that music doesn't hit as hard (I still love it but it's not as massively on my rotation). I find myself listening to very up-beat alternative music and trippy electronic stuff on the regular now. Huge fan of Japenese music that has a whimsical, triumphant feel to it as well. For me and I imagine a lot of other people, your music taste is interlinked with your development. Doesn't mean I'm not listening to Pig Destroyer while I write this though lol but to be honest, making music and performing it also has made me enjoy pretty much everything in some respect. I don't resonate with drill, modern rap or trap, but I really enjoy the production on some of those types of tunes cause I am a sucker for a deep bassline.

Two more good compilations IMO:

@Cubbage  Some people are just really not music people.  Just like I'm not really a visual arts person.

You can not do the resonance with certain lyrics though and still resonate with all genres given the rightness of it.

It's a sign of a healthy consciousness to feel an aversion to unhealthy stuff; music is no different.

It takes time to refine the way that aversion announces itself.

When I listen to music I am listening to many things including the lyrics.  I'm appreciating what is going on.  Rap started out as a master of ceremonies (MC) kind of going off and doing a sideshow at a club or something.  And then it became the MC and the DJ -- that was the start and essence of i!  

[Joseph Maynor]

I feel like stage red needs to be re-integrated for what it is on the path.  If you have this in your shadow, you are going to act out in all kinds of covert ways.

@Joseph Maynor I have german rap in my shadow in the original form of K.M.K. 

This is music that is ANTI:

• LIFE
• HUMAN
• Everything (1)

It has been confiscated by the german state as a result of those "labels". I will try to find it again.

The Artist Name ist Kaisa/Kaisaschnitt/Myng. I have protected him my entire life from harm, because he has shown me part of the german culture that is not known by other germans. Those lyrical masterpieces are holy to me. 

Auf "Deutsch": Er ist frei wie ein "Vogel". Er ist "vogelfrei". I will not translate this phrase to english.

This music is not referred to as hardcore, or hard music. This music is "HorrorKore".

Horrorkore = HorrorCore

• Eisregen
  • Elektrohexe (Schwarz)
• Kaisachnitt
  • Muttertag (Schwarz|Weiß)
• 2008
  • B Tight - Neger Bums Mich (Platin Level)
  • Sido - Goldjunge (Gold Level)
• All Luciferian Musik (Music that worships the God of Death)
  • Deathmetal etc...

English Rap is boring to me, because I already know the story of it. It is "boring rap". It bores me to listen to it nowa-days.... It is a "bore-hole" that leads no-where.  

So what you need is the original Folder with the Music. The "original Discography" of Kaisaschnitt. 

No questions via PM. You either know or you don't. 

[Joseph Maynor]

I really only like Old School and Golden Era Rap.  I can appreciate what is being done in view of the entire history of music.  

[Joseph Maynor]

I don't see stage red as lawless.  But it is not the kind law that stage blue or higher purports to support.  

[Psychonaut]

What about

• Golden Era German Rap?
• Russian Rap?
• Slavic Rap?

I you see me I see you.

I think that's a hugely relative affair when it comes to music. I am not averse to any music and enjoy elements of every genre I have explored. I just simply enjoy listening to certain music for different reasons. I am not listening to most rap because I resonate with the lyrical content. Like, I listen to Kendrick Lamar and Drake sometimes whose lyrical content is more often than not, crass, but I enjoy the sound of some of their tunes due to elements of the production. I don't think it's a one size fits all type thing. 

[Cubbage]

Music is way too relative to boil some of it down to being "unhealthy". You can certainly have an unhealthy relationship with more shallow music, most people use these types of tunes as ego fuel or to engineer shallow fantasies of themselves using music as a catalyst. Look at roadmen and drill music. I am not a roadman, but I can enjoy UK hip-hop and drill cause some of it just sounds fun. I don't use it to engineer low consciousness identity. Many of my musician friends have the same relationship with music as I do. I think the big thing here is whether you make music or not. If you make it, exploring it all is a delight, whether you enjoy it or not. Same if you're a big film buff, you're not gonna prevent yourself from exploring genres outside of your taste. Also, some of the deepest people I've met in life, male and female, have extremely versatile music tastes cause they like to experience all types of feelings that music can produce.

Rap started as an MC performing in a club with a DJ.  This is a very specific context.  And this could be performed on the street!

This is stuff I like to explore. I get a kick out of listening to obscure sub-genres. I find the gamut of human creativity engaging across all mediums. I have never been one to lock my taste in and be like "yeah that's me", cause realistically it's not. I'm adventurous in all walks of life and music is no different. I met a spiritual girl who on the surface looks like you could pin her down to just listening to the generic spiritual music genres when their favourite musical outlet is dark, moody electronic music. That to me is a sign of a versatile mind, not someone who is operating at a lower state of consciousness.
