Why is Rap bad?

Post by wingyding »

Wasn't a debate, or intended to be. Just an opinion, as you'd know, had you read that little disclaimer at the beginning of the sentence. ;)

And more's the pity that it won't ever die.

I'm sorry, you have yet to give up a valid reason for not like rap besides personal discretions which I suppose are enough to not want to have it around, but I'm more concerned with your statement that it's not music.

I think everyone's entitled to their opinion, but there's no reason for tempers to flair. So lets take it down a notch.
"If you live your life to please everyone else, you will continue to feel frustrated and powerless. This is because what others want may not be good for you. You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€

Eh. A lot of the stuff in Rap is recycled. And essentially it's techno with fewer beats and more words. Now, I know That this is a generalization and there's definitely some good rappers who actually have some creativity and meaning to their music, but I'm not one to look through a pile of shit for that perfectly good piece of corn.

I'll hand that to sunny. It's overwhelming at times.

Doesn't mean I can't give you some good stuff though right? ;)

!!!!!!I love it!!!!!!

Not rap. I hate rap. That analogy. Damn.

Why I hate rap: I don't like to dance to it and they always play it in the dance clubs. It's very hard to work up a decent sweat dancing to rap, even hiphop is less energetic than, you know, DANCE MUSIC. And it's even harder to flail around wildly and "accidentally" pop that guy who is dancing too close. Those guys know it too. It's why rap is so popular among douchebags and tools. That's my theory anyway.

Yes, however hip hop does have on distinct advantage - it is more 'grindable'.

The only place I've been that had a large pool of grindable dudes didn't play hiphop. Ironic?
