Who hates Rap?

[perkele]

Am I the only one?

i love it

Depends. I like Snoop. 50. Tupac. Some of the guys with actual skills to go along with the bling bling, I have more money & bitches than you, and drive your mommas Bently act they all put on. Seeing some of these brothers with a giant roll of hundreds flicking them around like they wouldn't bother picking one up if they dropped one on the street, while pouring gin on some fat ass-wigglin' sister in the next scene in their video is getting WAY old. In my opinion. Hey bro, I KNOW THE RECOED COMPANY HAS ALL YOUR SUPPOSED MONEY OK?!?! Gimme a break. Tupac had nothing, but you wouldn't know it from his videos, even though I like the guy. But whatever.

Most people who dont like rap dont like it for racial reasons, or because someone told them not to like it.

I'm sure as a rebuttal someone would post some tired reasoning like "Theres no variety in rap lyrics" or "Rap teaches people to kill" or shit like that.

TOTAL BULLSHIT.

If you want to find rap with lyrical content and messages, its out there. If you want some rap to shake your ass to, its out there.

I've also heard things like "Rap isnt made with real instruments". A big "nigga please" to that as well.

Most of the time, it boils down to a racial issue, as many consider rap to be a "Black" form of music.

Most people don't like Rap because it's the most boring shit of art form. Why rap if you can sing? And if you can't sing then get the fuck out of this planet!

I don't hate rap outright...but 9/10 songs I hear are shit. Then again, with any music, a high percentage of what's out there is shit. I will say this though...that ugly fat Missy Elliot is hard on the ears and eyes alike.

 

[Godzila]

I despise it too, it is too repetitive and image based.....these guys are all about image and making sure the world knows how much money they have. That to me is not a musician. and when every beat on you CD is sampled, well that speaks volumes in itself. If they were so good why is it only about 10% of rappers last more than 5 years.
Also, I would like to see just one rap artist do a fucking CD BY HIMSELF, not this "featuring....(insert name here".....these guys cannot stand alone with there own shit be it sampling or using a big name rap srtist as a crutch!!!

 

[F117A Active Stealth]

I hate it because it's boring as hell, sounds like a bunch of plastic jars being smacked around while some guy goes "Yo maan! Yo maan!"

 

[beefybull]

You fucks are generalizing and stereotyping.

Not all Rap is like that. Get it through your thick heads.

I'd imagine Dre has more musical talent in his left nut than everyone on this thread.
