Season 11 begins at April... with new opening

[Habunake]

Hey.

Everyone hear is painfully closeminded to the fact there IS good rap.

 

[Every Breaking Wave]

Talking fast to a beat isn't music. It's a one-way conversation.

 

[cassius335]

^ lol, yeah. *pictures the Pokemon lyricists trying to write new theme song*
Songwriter: Hey, what rhymes with Battle Dimensions?
-silence-
Songwriter: -.-

Anything ending in "-tions" ought to work.

 

[Greysky]

Actually, there WAS good rap. Now it's whores-girls-cars-mansions-kills-money all over.

And Tears For Fears is damn classic.

It used to be good, but now it's basically "Pimp my hoes and drugs out, bitch!". Anime rap is what corperate white guys think is rap.

But let's not get into that.

Tears for Fears? Eh...

 

[AtoMan]

Me Runs From Puns.

 

[Rob*]

What was wrong with "Chimchar's Tears"? lol. They could have just used that...

 

[pokemonmaster24]

pusa likes to change the name for america. i am sure can answer this better than me

 

[Trainer Rachel]

Except for perhaps the second english theme. (We all live in a Pokémon world)

I wouldn't consider that a rap, especially if you compare it to the Diamond & Pearl theme. The second English theme had a melody and wasn't just spoken like the verse for the D/P song was.

Pokemon World was probably rock-pop/hip-hopish.

 

[Ben Cousins]

PUSA starting season eleven like how they ended season ten - with cheesy episode titles.

 

[Trainer Rachel]

What is it parodying?

Tears for Fears? A band.

...and that's called rap.

"Speaking over music" is not rap. It's crap.

"Speaking over music" is not rap. It's crap.

Wait, what?

Every time I hear any sort of definition of rap, it includes (if not excludes everything but) speaking or chanting (speaking monotonously and rhythmically) over music or some sort of rhythmic background.

 

[AtoMan]

I heard many songs similar to Pokemon World, always classified as rap.

 

[Duckgon Z]

Like I said before, most dub anime rap is what 40 year old cooperate white guys think rap is. It's nothing like REAL, old school rap.

*sigh* The Diamond & Pearl opening is not rap. It's more of a rock song with a little rap part in it. Kind of like a lot of Linkin Park songs, only not nearly as good.

I'm really tired of the attitude that "I hope the next opening isn't rap because if it is, it'll suck." Because one, all rap doesn't suck, and two, the reason the Diamond & Pearl opening sucks isn't because it's rap. It sucks because it has awful lyrics with piss-poor video editing, something that isn't exclusive to rap songs. Yet everyone seems to equate terrible lyrics with rap. You guys aren't even being the least bit fair.

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Heh, I don't know anything about music genres, lol. That is why I'll never say things like "Oh, this opening is definitely this genre". XD


Actually, I hope Pokemon USA will go back and use David Rolfe (was that his name?). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's the guy who did some of the 4Kids openings, like "Born To Be A Winner", "I Believe" and "I Wanna Be A Hero" (I don't remember whether he did "This Dream" and "Unbeatable", he may have done those as well).

Anyway, I'm not sure why, but I think Rolfe has a really great singing voice. I love every Pokemon theme he's done! And I think it'd be awesome if he could sing the new Season 11 opening! ^_^

It doesn't help that Pokemon.com implied the 10th season's opening as a rap song.

 

[Dogasu]

And where does it say that?
