why do people in their rap cars have to make so much noise?

I like to blast rap music in my rap car. Not because I want others to realize how much of a boss I am but because I feel like much more of a boss if the music is loud. Take a song like Otis by ye and jay. when I listen to that song I dont want the volume half way up because that wouldnt fit the song. I want it bumping so I can go nuts and bathe myself in all its glory.
 
holy shit i forgot about bub rub and lil sis. the best part is when they demo the whistle tips and not only do they not make any noise, but they speed through a stop sign left of center.

You don't like that knock? That bang? You don't like when lil daddy got that work in the back of that bitch? How bout when they swang through killin' it. Ya boy shit hittin'...why you don't rock with 'em like that? They turnt-up and beatin' down the block. Nothing wrong with that. He worked hard for them racks so let him slam some 15s in that hoe. When he come through everybody else say he did that there so why you hatin'? You sound like a pure duck lil one.

I only do it when I drive by day care centers and elementary schools because I like to corrupt the local youth.

Heh, I always make it a point to turn my rap car down when I'm approaching a neighborhood or a business district. I happen to enjoy my music loud, but as much as I love my loud music.. I love not looking/sounding like a jackass in a quiet neighborhood or at night.

my posts are "MEH"
When I was like 5 or 6 years old, whenever someone would visit my parents, I would run to my room, grab a toy, run back and show it to the guest. Then I would run back, put it away, grab another toy and the process would repeat until I was told to sit down.

I don't know why I did that to this day, really. Just to look 'cool', I guess. I liked the attention.
I assume jackasses who bump their stereos have that same mentality and/or mental capacity I did when I was 6.
Which is sad for them.

Hmmm... So someone is automatically a jackass/ have mentality of a 6 year old because they play music loud in a car they purchased with their own money? Sounds right....

HAHA! Some of you guys are HILARIOUS!

My sister's bf blasts shitty dubstep out of his car with subwoofers and the windows down all the time when he arrives at or leaves our house. At any hour of the day he will do this. It's especially annoying when I'm trying to study or sleep. His pathetic ass has no sense of self awareness and and is just the icing on the cake of what a piece of shit he is.

I don't understand big bass. What is the point? you can't hear shit but buuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur buuuurr buurrr

Only if your subwoofer is shitty/cheap/bad enclosure/extremely shitty song. Also if there is not enough room for the air/sound to move around from the bass. That is why the sound in my minivan is awesome ;)

Yeah, you're doing it wrong if the bass overpowers the vocals and the rest of the instrumentals. Unfortunately that's what a lot of people with subwoofers do. They don't have a clue about proper equalization and balance.

I know it's subjective and all, but seriously..

Maybe. But you're still driving a minivan.
 
I'm 33 still rock my bass stupid high like I did in 96/97. But just like those days I make sure any radio I have has an attenuate button it so I can quickly make my car quiet. Especially when riding by hospitals, churches, schools, etc,.

My rap car is a part of my OP. Sorry you'll just have to deal with it.

Bass is about the feeling that goes through your body.

Agreed with The Rat.
Good bass is a feeling.
Hear the tweeters and midrange.
Feel the subs.


I can answer this very easily, you see I rarely hear anyone playing Country, Rock Jazz or anything as loud as possible and as a means to 'look cool'. If I did, they would get laughed at just the same.. I cannot discriminate here. An idiot is an idiot regardless of what music they listen to.
I assume every person bumping rap is a wanna be, because if they were a real G they would be confined to their territory, doing gansta stuff not driving around the mall with all of their paychecks on display via clothing or stereo equipment. Its just so hilariously juvenile and comical ... not a single person they drive past... not 1, not a girl, not a guy not a kid not an old person is remotely impressed by their bass, their amp levels or their swag.
Every single person just laughs at them. And its not rare for me to actually point directly at them in their car so they can see me and laugh while pointing, just to make them feel extra stupid. These are the least frightening people on the planet so I have no worries.
edit. I do on occasion run into some surfer kids at the beach blasting some rock.. they are just as stupid and just as much posers as the other guys. Its pure entertainment, so I enjoy running into any of these clowns.

As someone who once had a pretty loud car that I spent a large percentage of my paychecks on, id like to respond.

I dont listen to rap music to look cool....i listen to rap because i like rap music.
Im not a wannabe "gangsta" when im not being judged by pretentious assholes who believe they are better than me based on my taste in music im just a student who likes his hip hop.

Not everyone who listens to rap is a gangsta.....just like not everyone who listens to country music is a cowboy (or whatever stereotype country music carries with it)

Who are you to say people who listen to music loudly are stupid?
The fact that you think people listening to their music loud care about your opinion even in the slightest is laughable at best....if they cared about your opinions maybe the music would be quieter so they could here your amazing opinions.
But its loud specifically to drown out your arrogant bullshit.

Im not saying some of these characters arent "posers" but some people just like their audio.
I spent thousands on a loud car, once i sold it i spent a large portion of the cash on getting a loud home theater system and headphones
I like my Audio. i honestly dont care whether people judge me on my tastes or not......im not listening to my music loud to impress you or anyone.
I like the feeling of bass going through my body.

If it's obnoxiously loud, hell yes.

If someone wants to listen to loud music, be my guest. I do it all the time, too. But they can go shove something pointy up their ass when it's so loud I either can't hear my music or the person talking next to me, vibrate my entire car, house, street, etc.
It's called "being courteous", and if one can't understand that, then yes, they absolutely deserve to be compared to a 6 year old.

And that's fine. Can you agree, though, that some people find it slightly annoying when a car's bass is playing really, really loud. You may not even be the kind of person with a super annoying sound system. I'm talking about causing other people's car windows to shake when you pull behind them, causing other people's windows to their homes to shake, drowning out the television, etc. People with loud motorcycle exhausts are just as annoying.

I'm as annoyed as anyone when somebody has their music so loud that you can hear it from your kitchen or some shit. But on the other hand, it really does not take much volume for the bass to start vibrating the car. Anyone who listens to rap at all can attest that even on the stock stereo in a Civic or whatever you can't go very high before it starts to hum.

Totally, i know how those ridiculously loud cars with nothing but bass can be annoying.
But alphaNoid was saying some ridiculous things, not everyone listening to their music loud is trying to impress him, a very small percentage of them are gangstas or even want to be gangsta.

Some people just like their music sounding awesome.

It isn't so bad when someone just wants to listen to their music loud for their own enjoyment. But there are plenty of annoying people that do it just for attention or an attempt to look cool. These same people would probably bolt their speakers to the outside of their car if they could.

They are the same breed that has to rev their ninja bike or Harley over and over. That South Park biker gang episode was spot on.

I totally cruise in my rap car convertible to my parent's house downtown with some fine Mendelssohn or Schumann bumping. It's a classy ride you know.

It's a convertible after all, it can't help being loud with no roof on it. And I do get the strangest looks from people when I'm stopped at red lights. Haters gonna hate. ;)
