How many rappers have performed the national anthem?

[Cowboy Thunder]

Are there any talented enough to do so?

[russwest0]

Marvin Gaye

Because you sing the national anthem you don't rap it. That's like saying "How many basketball players have ever scored touchdowns, are they not athletic enough?"

Every other notable musical genre has individuals talented enough to perform the national anthem,

rock
pop
country
blues
etc.


Why not the rap genre?

[Cowboy Thunder]

Certainly there has to be a few rappers who have performed the national anthem?

Because rap is different and doesn't require having a good voice to be good at it

But, there have to be a few rappers who DO have a voice good enough to sing the national anthem. Link me bro

I'm sure there is , but I can't think of any at the moment. A pure rapper won't sing that is the problem , I don't consider Chris Brown a pure rapper but he has a good enough voice

If 2pac tried to sing I betchu half his fans would laugh at him it just doesn't fit , don't be something you're not

Ah, the ad hominem fallacy, to be expected from ISH.

I just figured in raps 30 year history, someone, somewhere has done a rendition of the National Anthem. Wondered what that sounded like.

If not, is this a form of discrimination? Why does one musical genre not get the chance to honor it's country?

Lauryn Hill would shit all over this garbage thread in no time if she was given the opportunity. Go jump off a bridge with the rest of OKC's completely bandwagon fanbase for this dumbass shit

Would she plagiarize it then refuse to give credit or pay royalties to the original authors of it?



I mean I'm just askin.

I understand wondering if it's ever been done, but you're not stopping there.

waseem's post sums it up perfectly.

Hol up hol up, now wait a minute...just imagine somebody who has sick rhymes, good beat, all that ish, but when he opens his mouth he sounds like Evan Turner...or Jason Collins...that man ain't selling not 1 record :lol

[Rameek]

I know it doesnt count but Queen Latifah did America the Beautiful

[Kblaze8855]

Queen Latifah has done it. Quite a few rappers can sing. And even if they couldnt it isnt a matter of talent. Rosanne ****ed a national anthem all up.....

[Real14]

I could.
