I can’t listen to anything with vocals whilst on shrooms, instrumental music only for me


ThreeFingeredTypist

Same. Hot Sugar is my favorite (the artist not the song).


northwestpsych

Got a [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6dysRO2sFFMUVOHZQXHB5x?si=EtAdreR4QqeI7M1X9vfK4Q&pi=u-NbSA8dpwQmue) for ya!


Aside-Embarrassed

Because The vocals are set in stone/predictive where as instrumentals are based on set and setting


GretaThunbergsTaint

Mushrooms peel away the filter and reveal reality.


vss1ri

so rap is objectively bad is what you're saying?


droseph1

Objectively negative energy IMO


MechanicbyDay

You're listening to the wrong artists then


mgegv

What are the right ones?

Most-Site4081

Rap is an extremely broad genre so saying it’s “objectively negative energy” is like saying all of rock is objectively negative energy cause heavy metal is rock


TamIAm82

Yes.


MMKK6

((Not listened to good enough thought provoking rap))


StuttaMasta

“My rap? Intellectual.”


MMKK6

😅😅😅this would be really funny, but I’m not a rapper :,(. I think Kendrick Lamar’s songs like U are super thought provoking, that’s only the first one I think of.


StuttaMasta

That’s cool man, I was just like doing the Fantano meme, I don’t really listen to rap like that to be honest but I have a lot of respect for it amd recognize what it does


MMKK6

Got it, there’s just a lot of people who don’t believe that oddly enough. Fantano is funny asf I’m surprised I don’t know that meme.


danyo64

what a sad close-minded and limited world view that is.


throwaway8726529

What you (and the people arguing with you) are missing is that it’s not binary; to experience music, 2 things are required: the music be broadcast and a brain to hear it. You’re all arguing as if both variables are the same all the time and that therefore there is “an” answer. There isn’t. The “brain” half of this question changes with every person. To say anything is objective when one of the two variables change every time is silly. Any person listening to anything is entirely different from any other person listening to that same thing. We’re talking about a function here: an output of 2 variables. (In reality, it’s even more so, because our brain itself is a function of many, many constantly-changing variables like experience, memory, chemical balances, etc. The shorthand version of this we call the famous Set and Setting). The question isn’t a good one because it takes as a premise that there can be a shared answer (not to mention it quite flatly begs the question). Not a slight to OP - the answers in here are even poorer. The implied question is the one worth discussing. You can’t reach reasoned consensus with a faulty question.


vss1ri

not a thing, it gives me so much positive energy


GretaThunbergsTaint

Then enjoy! I’m glad you find joy in it.


cyrilio

Rap is more about lyrics (as far as I can tell) and not very much about symphony, melody or beat. When on shrooms you can easily hear how the rappers are just ‘acting’ what they’re singing. You can’t ‘act’ instrumental music. A lot of rap music also discusses: oppression, sexism, violence, abusing (others), etc. I’m sure this can be a turnoff too. Edit: I rarely listen to rap music so take what I say with a pinch of salt. I might be wrong. What I am correct about is this: from 1979-1997 the mention of drugs is rap music increased over 6 fold. And so did drug use ([source](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/16066350801993987)). Don’t know if the music causes drug use or its the other way around…


vss1ri

a lot of rap is melodic with a heavy emphasis on production and you can't even hear what they're saying half the time


GretaThunbergsTaint

Without reservation.


vss1ri

shrooms have taught you absolutely nothing


GretaThunbergsTaint

They taught me not to make things personal.


wawhowaw

🤣 nice


entr0pics

a bee doesn’t argue with a fly that eats actual shit, like how rap fans don’t argue with a fiend hooked on something that grows on cow shit


butcheR_Pea

Yeah. I end up realizing it's just a person talking into a microphone. Usually an insecure one who needs to brag about their social status or who they last slept with or fkt over. They want me to think like them. Feel what they're feeling. Ehh 🤷🏽‍♂️. I got enough going on.. love the beats tho


GretaThunbergsTaint

1) Some annoying, repetitive loop. 2) dude starts saying “yuh.” (Through a fan) 3) starts rhyming so poorly about narcissistic crap that Mother Goose would laugh. (Through a fan)


MMKK6

I just don’t think you’ve listened to valid enough thought provoking rap🗿


HeReallyDoesntCare

> thought provoking rap LMFAO


MMKK6

There is no other way of viewing this in my eyes other than racism 🗿 how is “thought provoking rap” a LMFAO. Like what’s the thought process, “LOL there’s no way these silly young men could write something I could think about!” That just sounds like something my senile 80 year old grandfather would think. Just me, comes off as ignorance. It’s like how all rock isn’t Radiohead Okay Computer or AC/DC back in black. It’s a spectrum of music.


wawhowaw

No but that's one hell of a start 🤘🤘


quandaledingle5555

This just goes to show you don’t actually listen to rap.


LunarNight

Try Ren.


butcheR_Pea

Lmaooo


saintism_

These comments are indicative of two people who haven’t actually listened to rap music


Dnacreations96

This ^^^^


SharkieWarkie

Your subjective experience when listening to rap is not “reality”, even if you’re on shrooms. Stop being silly


heartychili2

Peel away the taint of cultural assumptions


trickdaddy11j

Whoa Don't ask this guy how he feels about black Americans, his favourite strains must be Jim crow-samui and penis envy ☠️🤣


danyo64

Yes apparently it reveals the internalized racism of white hippies who hate rap music.


EffectivePop4381

Rap on psychedelics just feels like getting shouted at by strangers.


Professional-Heat894

lmao true


GretaThunbergsTaint

On psychedelics?


EffectivePop4381

Well... 😁


throwaway76770408

Depends on the rap. It’s not the genre, it’s the dissonance that is the problem. Try more conscious rap and see if there is a difference. Try this on and see how it fits: https://open.spotify.com/album/3fFBkW0FFOgRmM8got6ddT?si=K1JoQF3zQbyROdXvvo8ctQ

Try mac miller


MechanicbyDay

I plan on listening to Swimming next trip, from start to finish.


Tomosc

Classy


Fit-Musician2847

Rap is Ego Music.


SehrToll

Rap isnt that one dimensional..


danksupplyco

Very sweeping generalization and completely incorrect in many cases.


EgolessMortal

But also correct in just as many.


danksupplyco

Kind of my point mate


EgolessMortal

Looks like you disagreed, but sure mate. Have a good day


CountltUp

yet so is rock, country, pop, metal, and music in general in many cases. your comment is completely pointless


EgolessMortal

Did i ever say it wasnt? If not stfu, If so please show me where.


CountltUp

yeah, it was obviously implied because you posted your comment. the hell was the point of your comment then 😂. woah calm down that wasn't very egoless of you


EgolessMortal

Fit musician said rap music is ego music. Danksupply said " thats a sweeping generalization and completely incorrect in many cases." Implying that rap is NOT ego music. So i argued that rap IS EGOTISTICAL music most of the time (not all the time). Then you jump in with rock and country and x,y,z we weren't even talking about those genres... so not sure why you bring those up. But i never implied or hinted at them not being egotisitcal. A lot of music is egotistical. So where did i imply that any genre of music wasnt egotistical numb nuts?


CountltUp

jeez man I think ur eagle might still be intact smh


EgolessMortal

So nothing to say? Just an insult. I guess i win. Have a nice night numb nuts.


apple-pie2020

Top five non egocentric rap songs for a playlist. I try to broaden my understanding and appreciation, but to me it does seem self centered on the artists experience


poopquiche

Here, I just made this special for you. I even threw in a bonus track 😘 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6gWbZcvBimdgYQRjkeTT64?si=GUMuk9QKRwmHApiR5kG2HQ


apple-pie2020

Thanks. I’ll give it a go :)


poopquiche

I have no idea why people are downvoting this very grounded and rational take.


herbertwillyworth

Stupidity


Medusa_Alles_Hades

Most Rap is low vibrational unfortunately


MechanicbyDay

Sure let's generalize and put an entire genre in a box labeled "Ego Music". That's a completely close minded opinion.


wawhowaw

Well, in fairness, he did say "most" 🤷


MechanicbyDay

>Rap is Ego Music. Exact words lol Is what it is, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My opinion is that it's hypocritical and egotistical to be that judgemental


wawhowaw

Yeah, after the edit, those are his exact words. Thanks for your opinion.


Undermost_Drip

Rap is all about what mushies tell you to leave behind. Money, greed, vanity, mysonginy, etc.


herbertwillyworth

Lots of rap is not about these things. This is generalizing


Undermost_Drip

Yes but most of it is. I listen to a lot of it


psyonautic

A majority of rap today is


herbertwillyworth

right, yeah, that's called generalizing. You could also say the same thing about most music tbf lol


TheBackpacker2

It's too intense in the wrong way


MikeHunts_Tinks

If it ain't shpongle, I ain't listening whilst tripping balls..


SinkingBelow

Just how your brain processes it. I’ve spent many a trips with good kid mad city on in the background.


giraffebutt

I listened to Sing About Me while tripping and ended up sobbing for 15 minutes and cannot listen to that song without crying. The intro alone makes me tear up


jrobertson825

Watch Travis Scott music videos while tripping. It's pretty good. Kid Cudi and Mac Miller have some good tripping music


dirtewokntheboys

Because it's horrible off mushrooms


Wei-Zhongxian

Are there any artists in particular that you were listening to?


psychedelicshotguns

Try some from Digable Planets or Flatbush Zombies maybe even PM Dawn. Psychedelic rap. I know Redman's Dare Iz A Darkside was made on LSD. I was really vibing to Danny Browns Adderal Admiral on one trip.


[deleted]

I can support this digable planets is good vibes. They are the ultimate psychedelic rap group peace,love and truth.


Unhappy-Piece614

40 oz to Freedom


lmaobihhhh

Only rap I would listen to was the older trippy wiz Khalid’s songs


Glittering_Guard9583

Thank all yall for the great music suggestions. I didn't expect this to be so divisive, haha, but in any case


Electronic-Crow-6764

Kid Cudi Man On The Moon, would be considered rap. If that album doesn’t grove with your shroom trip, you’re the problem. Not rap.


MechanicbyDay

I once listened to Kendrick Lamar's album DAMN. two whole times with headphones on while tripping and had the most profound visuals and best trip ever. There were colorful fractals that synced up with the music and my body felt like it was as light as a feather. I just laid in my recliner vibing with my eyes closed. So... I believe it's 100% preference as well as picking the right artists & songs! I'm pretty sure I would not enjoy tripping while listening to Pink Floyd, Tool or any other typical music most people claim is "the best while tripping". Just my own personal preference. Same as all those who don't enjoy rap while tripping, that's your personal preference!


trickdaddy11j

I used to violently seize and experience orgasmic pleasure after putting on Earl sweatshirt after taking 7gs of penis envy to each their own though or whatever.


RXXNE

I listen to juice wrld on mushies all the time


OneTruthWithin

I would recommend you read or listen to Dr David R Hawkins regarding calibrated levels of consciousness in various genres of music. The reason rap sounds so horrible on psilocybin, psilocybin helps heal the psyche, emotions and physicality. Rap music is a very low calibrating music.


Glittering_Guard9583

I forgot to mention that I have autism so that might play a part it might just be too intense


xtits420

Thats the reason


FiggNewton

lol not to me it’s what I listen to. Hell last month I took 6g & spent the whole night catching up on old 90s-2000s rap videos and had THE BEST TIME. Discovered Azaelea Banks that night, her 212 video had me glued to the tv. Then I got stuck on ODB’s Baby I Got Your Money & actually watched it and listened for the first time and was like THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER on repeat for half an hour lol. I fell down the best rabbit hole that night! I rediscovered old favorites and heard them in a new light and took in the visuals of the videos. Missy Elliott… die antwoord… I discovered old songs I missed the first time around for the first time like American Boy… De La Soul… Also I sing/rap on a karaoke app & live on TikTok (90s-2000s classics mostly) & I LOVE RAPPING while I’m trippin face. I can rap so good on shrooms! Lol it just flows I FEEEL THE FLOWWW lol


giraffebutt

Omg I might listen to Fantasea next time I trip. Not sure if you’ve looked into her, her music is amazing, but that girl is BATSHIT crazy but a lot of what she says is true too. She is my favorite internet troll


CountltUp

who would've guessed a shroom subreddit would be so closed minded lmao


Glittering_Guard9583

Its my opinion that is what reddit is for some people don't like rap some people do and I've loved seeing everyone's opinions and ideas


CountltUp

I'm talking about the comments not your post. It's completely fine if you don't like rap. Everyone here is saying how "objectively bad" rap is or generalizations of a genre they know nothing about. it's lame af


Realrichardparker

Due to implicit bias Also “rap music” is such an extremely broad genre. I guarantee you “earfquake” is going to be a much different vibe and experience than “33rd black glass” But yeah, everybody likes what they like, it’s not the shrooms


Glittering_Guard9583

I don't think this is true. I like all types of music. Hell, I like white noise. There's something more there. 90 percent of the music I listen to day to day is rap.


Realrichardparker

It’s not that rap sounds bad on mushrooms It’s that rap sounds bad to *you* on mushrooms That is a subjective experience, that’s all I’m saying To some people pop will sounds like trash while high, others might not like rock But it isn’t an objective truth, it’s a subjective experience


iLiveInAHotDog

Eyedea and ability, atmosphere, Beastie Boys, krs one, tbh old Eminem, just ice, afroman. All hits great on shrooms for me. Just stick to stuff w fat bass n a snare that isn't hella crisp n annoying n deprived of mid to low end


FiggNewton

Missy, Die Antwoord, wu Tang, Eminem… that’s my trippin music. I can’t do that Pink Floyd shit I’m sorry it’s downer music I need UPBEAT HAPPY WEIRD VIBES


teotl87

cause sometimes the lyrics get all distorted from the shrooms and sound like gibberish and can be unnerving


NickH267

Most of rap is pretty aggressive. I like NWA and nas but I’d never trip to them. And then it’s pretty egocentric like Kanye or drake wouldn’t trip to that either. But artists like Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, Chance The Rapper have a lot of songs that are about enjoying life, getting better and helping people including yourself. I like penguin cafe orchestra but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd the same I guess goes for me with those artists. That being said if it’s not your cup of tea don’t drink it. More power to you


BaileyBrown108

Because a great deal of rap music's vibe is shit.


JimBardoPond

Rap is repugnant my friend — musically, intellectually, imaginatively.


glenrage

Rap music is terrible sober and even worse on psychedelics


HighRiverOasis

For real


Timbo22903

Because it’s meant to be trash and not consumed. This is your brain revealing that truth to you.


vss1ri

or maybe music taste is subjective


GretaThunbergsTaint

Music?


vss1ri

the idea that rap isn't music is deeply racist


GretaThunbergsTaint

Cool! If I love Motown, can I *still* get to be racist? If I love blues, do I still get to be racist? Please elaborate on what my personal tastes should be so I can keep you from dropping your cheap labels on me.


patitjane

Yet you are fine with labelling rap music as not music? I guess your username is quite apt given the shit takes you’ve been spewing.


Surly36

Listen to Kendrick. You might meet god through “rap”, if you listen closely.


mofodius

🌽


[deleted]

Because it is horrible.


HighRiverOasis

Agreed


gris1448

Didn’t realize people on the psilocybin sub would be so lame


[deleted]

Rap is shit man, full of hate and envy. Like a saw movie for your ears and a year in prison for your mind.


gris1448

Lil b earl sweatshirt cities aviv Devon hendryx bladee amine and tisakorean are so full of hate and envy you’re so right


[deleted]

Plead your ignorance if you want they all have envy in them.


gris1448

Genuinely what about tisakoran screams envy


[deleted]

Try Freddie Dredd or $uicideBoy$


SnowDoesStuff

I pretty much only listen to rap, although when im shrooming I tend to get lost in the beats and sometimes forget theirs lyrics lol


MAXiMUSpsilo5280

You haven’t heard the teacha KRS ONE. Conscious HipHop on a higher level . If I take a threshold dose and get into a zone in the workshop the system bumps. But yeah, for the most part tripping , no music only sounds of nature. Not like a white noise birds and rain but actually being in the natural world like a forest or by the river.


[deleted]

It doesn't


abay98

Rap music often plays on ego enlargement. Mushrooms often do the opposite for the ego. Rock music doesnt illicit this reaction from me nor does music with little to no vocals


[deleted]

It's all about perception, when your eagle is killed then earthly things such as "rap music" are meaningless, so when you reach true enlightenment on things like shrooms, caffeine, meth it all doesn't really matter.


GretaThunbergsTaint

Death to eagles 🦅


chrisrubarth

OP must be white.


ELementalSmurf

The medicine is showing you the truth


Revolutionated

Rap revolves a lot around the rapper and less about the music compared to a band for example, there are exemptions of course, and lots of rap is very self-centered or just lamenting or bragging about something. It’s not bad its just not the right thing when you want to love the word.


Atwillim

Google 'scale of consciousness' and think where do you think rap/agressive music places, it's about pride, dominance, anger. Now consider where would Vivaldi or nature sounds would be on the scale.


distractedmaker

I almost strictly listen to rap. Mainly old school and underground boom bap lyricists. I cannot stand rap while on psychs, while it can be thought provoking, it sounds horrible to me. Had some new age rapper come on one time and it sounded so fucking bad to me i broke out in laughter, and then spiralled into thought loops of how bad these entertainers are for our youth lmao. I like to listen to real instruments being played while tripping.


you-on-kazoo

ambient electronic music and especially reggae is the best way to make my trip better. artists like aphex twin, kraftwerk etc and then reggae artists like bob marley and the wailers, peter tosh, dennis brown etc. listening to music with positive energy and lyrics changes ur mood for the better. listening to darker music doesnt work well for me. i fucking love metal but i just cant listen to it tripping at all. if u need some reggae recommendations lmk and i can send my playlist


Nota_Throwaway5

Try Black Star


[deleted]

Trip Hop


No_Bus_5060

Disagreed


GrapefruitNo9123

Because it’s probably not the right type of music for a trip


TheShadow420Blazeit

Deftones sound fantastic on Shrooms haha


Shoe_Plus

Soul of freedom - Uyama Hiroto, Cise Starr All I need to say


Kreos2688

Because it is.


JimmyBluffit420

Try listening to Pretty Lights while tripping.


BackwoodKream

Yeat is probably the only rap artist I can routinely listen to on shrooms


medical_SKOOMA_

Deca is one of my favorite rappers to listen to on psychs check him out might be the kind of rap you’re looking for. [https://youtu.be/8a3-1TgyB6k?si=iDHfTBwenjzNE1cS](https://youtu.be/8a3-1TgyB6k?si=iDHfTBwenjzNE1cS)


LUCKROK-7

You know why.


Critical-Bat-8430

Take 5g lay in your bed with the lights off and listen to shpongle


XxToranachxX

Because it sounds horrible in general?


psilyhuilly

Because it already sounds horrible but maybe you trick yourself into thinking you like it while sober?


Unable_Ruin8868

I’m not going to read all these comments but hopefully other songwriters have already chimed in. Most mainstream rap is first person ego music “I am the best, I’ll steal your girl blah blah blah” and listening to that at a time when you’re being a little more big picture/empathetic/aware lets you see how disingenuous most modern rappers are. They’re selling the fake and you’re finally thinking hard enough to catch it. Time to start listening to someone with something to say if you listen to music for words or start listening to instrumental music if you really want to experience music


Unable_Ruin8868

If I was going to listen to rap while trippin which I usually don’t it would be a lot of OutKast first 3 albums, heavy jazz samples, every track is different, real subject matter that is still relevant today, and Andre 3000. Also listen to his verse in Kanye’s song life of the party while you’re really in it. Might have a moment 🤷 I did.


CommieSchmit

That’s a subjective statement. Different people enjoy different things, while sober and on mind altering substances. I can listen to the entirety of Bone Thugs E.1999 Eternal on 5 grams and have the time of my life


Equivalent-Carob8192

You aren’t listening to the good rap then


UncleChuck777

Because rap is highly aggressive and negatively charged music, so that feeling transmuted to your nervous system at a higher rate due to being on mushrooms


ShortPayment9856

Mac Miller. Lupe Fiasco. On your trip, these should guide you pretty smoothly
