I can ony listen to old rap songs, and the rest make me want to shove their golden teeth up their nose
Apparantly, I am a degenerate of society.

You gotta lighten up!

My contribution: music is pointless and a waste of time.

There's some great rap out there. It's just that the commercially available such is mostly misogynist and racial claptrap.
Here's an example of the good stuff.
To me it's all noise and no harmony.

I must admit I never understood that particular genre.Zeithri said:

you're right, rap is great, Eminem is truly a genius, I listened to a freestyle session he did and it was AWESOME. and Relapse was one of, if not, his best album.AdambotLive said:Because i listen to rap music.
Really, why do people critisize a genre so much that they will refuse to listen to it at all? Eminem and Jay-Z have done some amazing songs, such as "Stan", "Empire state of mind" and "'Till I collapse"
And let's not forget the classics. Who can't remember Run-DMC, MC hammer and sir mix-a-lot?
The point of this post is; not ALL rap music is bad. RnB, however, is the real scum of society
anyway, I'm scum... I like french rap.
fucking LOVE that song, but mostly in this context...Douk said:
On the whole I'm not a rap fan, except for older stuff like MC Hammer, Run DMC and Public Enemy. Oh, and I don't mind Jay-Z, he was actually pretty good on Jools Holland.
I like all music. there's only a little rap that would make me call somebody a degenerate.
But I've listened to everybody you mentioned, and I like em.
I'm a rocker through and through. We had our time in the evil spotlight, people burning the records and calling rockers "Satanists!"
So you'll get through it too. Though some rap is just asking for criticism. then again, so is rock.

I'm not a fan of rap, not because of the sound (which dosen't move me either way) but the subject matter, which, 9 times out of 10, involves illiterate gun-totting arses bragging about how they treat women like crap and shoot things, or threaten to do said things to another rapper or gang.
I don't like Rap, because a lot of it is just playing with Cubasic to create a nice loop and than speak some bullsh*t over it. Or, if you're really lazy, just "sample" somebody else's loops. Sure, there are a couple of Rap tracks (I won't call something a song that didn't bother to include a melody) that are fun, but in the grand scheme of things, it's rubbish.
How many Rap tracks from 2002 are still played on the radio today? Or from 1996? Rap is not music like that of The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley or Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner. Contemporary Rap music will not be listened to in 40 years, because it's disposable. You listen to it for a couple of days, weeks, maybe months and then throw it out. As such, it's much closer to Twitter than Art.

Well, to some people we are all a degenerate of society. After all, I'm just going to assume that all of us are gamers to some effect, and some people find us to be the scourge of the earth. That's just how closed minded some people are.
Now I don't particularly like it, but I'm not gonna call out anyone who does. It's just not my kind of music.

Honestly, I only like Slim Shady and parodies. I tolerate it,but has any one noticed that most rap songs by men are about having sex with various women, while most by women are about being cheated on. Or GPS directions. Too the left, Too the left... Hop 3 times slide to to right, slide to the left.
The feelings I have against rap lovers, or RnB fans doesn't come from the music itself, which I can sometimes enjoy, it comes from the sub culture most of them seem to be a part of. I've never had someone listening to Slipknot on their phone decide it would be funny to punch me in the face for example. Or when on a bus, I never hear metal or rock blaring loudly trying to annoy the other people on the bus, always Rap and RnB.
Those styles of music, generally I might add, not exclusively, seem to appeal to the least respectful, self obsessed, ignorant members of our modern society. Music cannot be blamed for the way people are, but people will still generalise based on the minority which get the most attention based on the bad things they do.
Games are exactly the same, one person may play GTA4 then decide to go kill a prostitute, now chances are that guy was inclined to do that sort of thing anyway, but the masses will make the connection and brand the game, and others who play it, as something terrible.
