Good Music


Why do people consider "rap" as music? There is nothing musical about hearing someone spout curse words to a beat. Do you agree? Why? How and to what extend can music influence on you?

  1. I don't agree with you Mr.Akmal. Rap one of the best music styles and very popular among youngsters. This music is different and most of rap songs about life. It is really cool.

    Well I don't listen to rap everytime I also like soft music, when you tired and want to relax it is very helpful.

  2. I think RAP is american shit.I had listening it before.When i was always listening it I felt smth strange.It destroys inside of you.It will make you arrogant.It will make you lazy.It will take a lot of your time but you don't know it.It something self-destruction.I've stopped to listen it.When I was listening it stands to reason i was repeating music words and i became to speak very fast.Everbody in my class sometimes don't understand me.

  4. Yeah RAP is good but it has some disadvantages.
    For instance,some my coursemates listen to RAP and they are interested in RAP.They always repeat words of RAP and they imitate RAP singers.Even they wear like them and their hair style also like their.I think it influences bad on child`s mind.Because in my opinion our country hasn`t adapted for RAP yet.
    IF our children listen such kind of music,they will become lazy and they won`t be interested in studying.So guys do you really want it? or do you want that our country become like America?Unfortunately it`s too late, cuz RAP has already come to our country.
    I like alternative rock(Enanescence,Linkin PArk,System of Dawn,30 second to Mars.....) Their songs give me life energy)))

    For example I hate rock mucic, I can't listen to this music. In my opinion all rockers are crazy, they just scream and scream till their voice go away.

    Rap is quite better for me of course. I'm wondering how people can repeat words of rap. I even don't catch Uzbek rap words. Anyway mostly I don't give attention to songs' words, so I like rhythm and music more.

  6. It's just another style of music (or even life) which found its followers and admirers. Music as any other art is on the level of feelings. When you look at a painting or listen to music you can never tell why you like exactly this piece of art. You can't also tell why you stopped liking some particular songs.
    When it's not about science, it's totally subjective.

  7. To Doston.
    Firstly rockers aren`t crazy!)
    Secondly they don`t just scream,they sing and you must know that I don`t like metalic rock. Ahead I wrote that I like ALTERNATIVE ROCK.
    Doston have you ever listned Evanescence`s or Linkin`s songs?If you listened their song,you would understand how rock is cool.I always find their song`s text and sing with them in front of my PC)))However it helps me improve my English vocabulary.I usually find 4 or 5 new words from text)
    You were wondred about how people can repeat words of RAP.Well,I`ve some friends who know Basta`s or Guf`s raps by heart and they always sing it.

  8. Well guys when you are discussing rap you should realize that you are discussing whole world of music. As there are many types of everyhting in this world, e.g. human beings,balls, meals, almost anything you want, rap his its variety too. If you guys remember some years ago Nas came out with his rap called "I Can" and I thought ot was really good piece of art, but later I heard Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and others and I realized that the matter is not in what is rap but in the way it is done. So I would say rap is just another way of delivery just like any other type of music or art. Some people do it with taste some do it in ways that we do not like. Some people write good rap like Shoxrux's Xato and some write not rap but something like c in front of rap like Shaxriyor's Mana senga o'sha kayf. I compare this to how students write their essays: some do it very well and some just do it as whatever.

  10. Oh guys so many interesting points on this topic which is really great. Thank you Ahmad, it was your topic to talk about music and I narrowed it down and made it RAP. So Rap is good because we got more visitors to our blog like Marat and Abdurahmon today. Do you guys study at WIUT? Yesterday I sent e-mails to all our WIUT students. Hope they will be joining us soon. Well if they know that we are talking about Rap they would hurry up for sure.

    Now what I think about Rap! Rap is good if it is a good rap. I like some of Eminems' songs but the fact that he usually appears to be angry makes me feel the headache. Rap gives me an energy when I listen to it. My favorite rap group is C-Block if you know this band. It is kind of old rap band. I also like Will Smith's ''Men-in-Black''. Well it doesn't teach me anything but at the beginning of the day you feel energized.

    When I was teaching at MDIS there was one student who was kind of rapper and he used to behave in rappery way. That did not really suit him because it was kind of not natural. But his English was quite advanced. Then I heard that he improved his English by listening and learning by heart famous Rap song? What do you think? Is it the good way of learning English?

    I don't want to offend you. Well everybody has own style of music. Yes I listened to some Eva's and Linkin's songs. They are good. Also I don't understand rock types.

    Well I think rap is good thing anyway. Maybe It is possible to improve English through the Rap. We should try this method. B-)))

  12. Well I've just really shocked! I believe that maybe he learned many new words and sentences!But in my point of view you can't learn English well with learning and listening songs only.There are very few literary words in songs. In another way it's useful for improving your English!

  13. Madinochka yeah we can`t learn English well from texts of songs.But If you read any text of song you`ll see that there a lot of new words and phrasal verbs which are unfamiliar to you.However when u are doing this you improve your listening,reading and vocabulary skills.For instance, yesterday I read three texts of Evanescence`s songs and I found almost 20 new words.So my vocabulary is improved.In addition I wanna say that you don`t only find new fords from music,you also find much relax when you`re listening them.

  14. Hello guys, Yeah RAP is a very popular style of music. I think we have no rights to blame rappers, because they are PEOPLE and it is their life. You know,music it is not only text and melody - IT IS YOUR SOUL CONDITION and if you like ROCK(Ahmad) or RAP(Doston) it means that your soul wants it!!!
    What about me,i like all types of music,but it depends on my mood. If i want to relax,i can even turn on some from Mozart or Beethoven. But in the morning I prefer to listen to ROCK )))
    P.S. I also respect rappers and most of all - GUF))))

  17. I support Akmal's idea that listening to one's favorite songs can help in learning English. I also had a student who was obsessed with Eminem, he actually looks like Eminem. His English was much better compared to other guys in the group, especially pronunciation, and from his point of view the reason was listening to songs and learning them by heart.

  18. AHMAD If you read exactly my comment in the end I add one sentence!
    So I sometimes try to learn songs and find there new words too! And I can say that it's very attractive? but what about grammar?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Madinochka can I call you like this?)
    So,if you want to learn grammar,you can take any English grammar book and learn it on your own.For instance,I`ve read Murphy)Cuz it`s simple and understandable grammar book.
    But most of my friends think that Azart is better than Murphy.But I proved that Murphy is better)
    So I think grammar isn`t problem if you read it by yourself.I have difficulty in vocabulary that`s why I read texts in order to find new words.

  20. Hello! I think that each person should choose their music yourself! Music is some personality thing which depends on a man/woman character!We can listen what we want and when we want! And I think a lot of us have their lovely rap singers! Because the biggest part of rap songs about our life! And while listening we can find some closely things for us! But for myself very diffucult listen ONLY rap,however i love this type of modern music!
