Lol. What??
I had to re read this a few times. You don’t think rap music fits the premise of Ghostbusters?
For Christ sakes, one of the songs on the soundtrack is a rap song literally rapping the premise of Ghostbusters 2.
I’m trying to figure out how Ghostbusters lends itself to one type of music... but not another. It’s all music. You may not like rap music. That’s fine. But the only type of music that doesn’t work with Ghostbusters is...I don’t know? Polka?
I love rap, r&b, hip hop, dancehall, etc. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking the genre.
I thought Bernstein’s quirky piano riff suited the theme and mood of Ghostbusters.
I think the rap music in GB2 didn’t and believe it was included simply because the genre was in the zeitgeist of the late 80’s.
I still maintain that music by something like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, N.W.A. or the Wu-Tang Clan would add a confusing and unnecessary slant on the thematic content of Ghostbusters. I even thought Bobby Brown and Run DMC’s music were off putting in a GB movie. Something either fits or it doesn’t.
But that’s my opinion. You may love rap music and want to see it in the franchise and we don’t have to agree.
