Ah, i forgot about african drumming! Latin percussion is fantastic, though I prefer the djembe's, etc. There's a skate park in the city where drum gatherings take place, unplanned. The few I've been to were amazing, and when theres a couple of people playing variations on the same rhythym you really can hear that whispering/suggestion of words. Some people apparently like to chant over it...I like to leave it as it is.

Maybe you can list some finds that are in line with the frenzied black atmosphere I have pointed to?

I've always liked rap-- the oldschool variety that was innovative and adversarial. Nowadays most rappers simply ape the popular drivel such as Lil Wayne and are more concerned with conforming to a crowd than exchanging dynamic ideas and new sounds. There are some noteworthy contemporary artists that still push the limits though; the group 'Dalek' comes to mind.

I think one of the folks over at the Satanic Reds did rap... Either way, 'Satanic Rap' is a pretty undercontributed genre. Do you have any links or examples of your work?

I've liked some rap, but there is a lot of crap out there. Stringing words together does not a "musician" make... but like Mitch, I have no problem calling them artists. Rather than musicians, I think I could categorize rappers as "Rhythmic Lyricists."

If you are going to be a rapper and really want to be "different" and stand above the crowd, I would suggest you forsake the easy way out and bring the "art" into a new level where you don't rely on the lowest denominators... hos and gats and dope and bling. If you are going to be a LaVEYAN rapper... KNOW what LaVey's message was, his attitudes on things beyond the words of The Satanic Bible. Be true to the message.

Here's a Satanic rapper from L.A. who has been at it for a while:

Knife Sotelo

Yes Actually i do not Rap About Hoes Gats & Etc. my Lyrics are Really Rude, Rapping About Torture, Blood, Gore, Murdering & Genocide!

And this is LaVEYAN exactly how? Having been a Satanist since the early 1970s and a member of the Church of Satan and a member of the Church of Santan's Administration, these are not LaVeyan values. You can call yourself a LaVeyan, Processean, Setian or anything you want, but unless you apply and exemplify the values of the system you presume to champion, you're just another schmuck.

People may correct me but wasn't knife above all a moron?

That he raps is quite trivial to that.

D.

LOL! I was just going to post something along those lines, D. And if I recall, his "rapping" was missing a c.

Good good, do you know other classical composers that create dissonant and stimulating pieces like of Alfred Schnittke?

Do we have any musicians amongst us? Music is my passion, it's been apart of me for my entire lifespan. I am a drummer playing currently for 18 years. Any fellow drummers with us?

I play drums dude! I play rockabilly!
