Rap music sucks?

There have been many boards on the battle against rap. And I 100% agree with all of them. Rappers and "gangsters" are nothing but stereotypical people who think beating their women, drugs, cursing, sex, and selling their music to a younger audience is cool. The way they even talk is disgraceful such as "Yo son my low rider is mad tight yo, we gon pick up some hoes and take um to da bar fool". The thing that upsets me the most is that rappers have absolutely no talent. All they do is sit there- try to make up some bull crap rhymes and then steal a beat from a former hit. How the hell is that talent?! I am a young teenager and I have given rap many chances but I don't get the concept of it. Look at rock bands such as KoRn, Alice in chains, Nirvana and Green Day. These people have actual talent. They pick up their instruments and sing their heart out because they have actual talent. They give the time to amuse and express their feelings to everyone who loves rock.

Rap music sucks?
I already answered one of your questions before, about your rage on Rap. Your wasting your time dissing how much you don't like it. Rap isn't about gangsters, women, drugs, cursing, and sex. Besides, Rock has all the words you mentioned as well. Rock is the worst genre out there in my opinion but you know what, statistics proven that Rock listeners are more likely to cause a felony. I can say the same about Rock. "Rock is nothing more than worthless genre that influences people to go crazy and mark their faces in makeup and the Rock artists has no talent". I respect your love for Rock, but you gone to far messing with the Rap Answers! Community. I will repeat the words I wrote in your other question





If you don't like Rap don't listen to it, and stop ragging on how much you don't like it. It's your opinion anyways, leave the Rap or the Hip-hop to the real listeners. Like most say, not all Rap is bad. Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West are the freshest guys out there with no bad lyrics. Will Smith, when he was rapping was fresh too. Listen to his Hip-hop (Rap) songs. OK to answer your 2 concerns





1. Rap always been about life, poetry, and fantasies nothing more. Rap been here for a very long time, and Rap proved 2 main points. Struggles of people living a hard life, and rapping to people to not follow their lives and live well. Another point is to make series of songs that is danceable, and hip. Some fall in the border line, but anyways Tupac followed the two main points. He wrote poetry to influence others to fall in the same position as he was.





2. Rock is not better than Rap in my opinion, but Statistics proved that Rock Listeners are more than likely to cause a felony. There's more Rock people in jain than Rap people. Anyways you can listen to whatever you want, but don't express dislikes on a topic you don't know or like.
Reply:Talk about perpetuating stereotypes. And to top it off, your examples of good music are KoRn, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Green Day? I'm not a big fan of rap, but you do no favors for Rock %26amp; Roll by this argument. Those bands are not the best bands to epitomize Rock %26amp; Roll with.
Reply:I Agree Rap is a disgrace and demeaning to black people,it pollutes the airwaves. Long Live Rock
Reply:i agree with you......


but underground rap is different than mainstream rap, underground rap is about reasonable things.


but mainstream crap suck big time!!!


but other than that cRAP sucks!


it's all about "b*tch this" and "hoe that"


and now cRAPPERS are singing about partying like rockstars and they thinks they're punk rock 'cause they wear Vans.


these Retards Attempting Poetry should just stick to degrading women 'cause that's all they're good at!


Retards


Attempting


Poetry


suck balls!(mainstream rap)


mainstream rap is all about degrading women and being cool and all that stuff.





but dude! try listening to N.W.A. they're wayyy better than what you hear on the radio and on t.v.....-_-
Reply:While I agree with you that rap is talentless, the content you hate so much is the "gangsta" rap. Rap was good until that came around. It poisoned the entire rap genre. Also, freestyling takes a little talent, so it's not completely talentless.





And I think you could do better with the talent examples. Green Day plays three or four chords per song. Just me, but I think a band like Slayer or Pantera would be a better example.
Reply:Dead Prez


The Fugee's


Jay-Z


Nas


Old School is the BEST. :) But you are right about mainstream. Get into underground rap.


Now your examples were terrible. KoRn? And Green Day?


They are two of the biggest disgraces to Rock. KoRn is okay. But Green Day is terrible they spend their whole album bashing America. That's the most unintellectual concept for an album I've ever heard in my life. Not only that but you just tried to define an entire genre of music.Listen to Dead Prez they write about how messed up our schools are. Also about the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. The Fugee's write about how one day the world will be a better place if we try to make it a better place. And Nas is very political themed as are Dead Prez. And this is coming from a fan of Punk Rock. You could have defended rock with way better examples like Zeppelin or Pink Floyd and the Misfits and The Ramones.


But I'm just saying it seems like you are stereotyping no offense intended. I used to think it was lame but I watched Dave Chappeles Block Party and found Dead Prez and now do like some rap. I'm just saying don't be so narrow minded on music and talk about how bad it sucks. Everyone likes different things. Besides there's rock radio stations.
Reply:i agree w/ some of the ppl above me. I'm not a big fan of rap but I'm not gonna put down the whole genre. I agree that most of today's rap is complete crap. But there were SOME decent rap songs that had to do with politics. The only kind I listen to though, is rock songs with a bit of rap like Rage Against the Machine.
Reply:yea im with you too. i don't like it at all. whine up drives me insane. over and over again, she can only whine up so many times......
Reply:whateva everybody has their favorites
Reply:Get you brain checked into a mental hospital. The rap you hear on the radio is terrible...meaningless. There are tons of real rappers out there. Just turn of MTV and the radio to find them. Old acts like Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, and Beastie Boys were real rap-acts. Most rapped about meaningful issues. Those that rapped about gangsta, were giving REAL descriptions of gangsta life and ghettos. Serious stuff, not the crunk crap by Lil Jon and talentless blah by MIMS and 50 Cent.





Open your mind a little. I like KoRn, AIC, and GD, but seriously, I bet you couldn't come up with some good rap within 60 seconds and then apply it to the beat. Try it...you'll fail in 5 seconds.

RAP DOES SUK


thank u good night everybody
Reply:you should focus your agression on rock and leave rap alone, rap doesnt need your permisssion, or your advice or your opinions,. thats why there is parental advisory stickers on there albums ,
Reply:The Roots play instruments so that's one rap group that puts in the work. I'm not a fan of all rap but i think some is better then others not all crap but to each there own.





those rock band are OK but i wouldn't put up those four agains all of hip hop.
Reply:Rap isn't music. It's just spoken words about inappropriate material that somehow almost everyone loves. I don't get what's so great about rap! Not only are rap songs a bad influence, but they've almost brainwashed kids' minds into liking songs about drugs and violence!





I'm not saying that all rap is like that, but most of it is.
Reply:Not all rap sucks. Some songs are quite good.

This song is quite enjoyable. I advise you to think before you say that rap and gangsters are nothing by sterotypical people. I know many who aren't amd they would murder you if you say that. I ,myself love rock. And you can find better examples that Korn, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Green Day. Such as Cheap Trick, Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Bowie. But it is also true many rap artists don't have talent. Some do though. Very few but they do.
Reply:Mainsteam rap is mainly like that, talking about having sex and getting drugged up and being all cool and stuff. But some of the under ground rap I've heard makes profound statements about societal pressure and injustice and other meaningful things. Sadly, the only rap that most people now is on the surface. I wish I could show this one video of a rapper who told how a young African-American is sucked into a gang from societal pressure and the need to fit in. It was incredibly heart-breaking, actually reminded me of poetry.
Reply:um no offense but rock has some nasty words too! they do talk about sex in it! and if thats true explain PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR! that song is about partying like a rockstar! and what about 2 step? snap yo fingers? walk it out? there all a whole bunch of rap songs not about hoes and beating up, and sex!
Reply:Obviously, you've only listened to the current rap on the radio.


Open your ears before criticizing an entire genre of music.





(you could have totally used better examples of rock bands too, KoRn, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Green Day? Are we still in the 90's? Either way they're not very good examples.)
Reply:I completely agree with you, Rap Sucks.


And your right with every word.


I know a guy who goes to my school and all he can think about is banging chicks, getting into fights and smoking weed and they all grew up listening to **** like eminem, 50cent and **** like tht so yea I think rap is gay and also the lyrics are never sincere.
Reply:This is not Yahoo!-Soapbox-Opinions. This is Yahoo!-Answers. That means you ask a question and other people answer it.


You don't understand rap and that's quite understandable, but the concept of asking a question shouldn't go over the head of "a young teenager."
Reply:I somewhat agree with you,wut u say makes sense buh those once sound like the ones they put on the radio.try lissining to real rap,Ex.once with no swearing,and meaning in them.and umm...green day and KoRN are really great and i really lyk dem,buh giving them as examples didn't exactly do u any favours. sry!
Reply:everyone has their own thing. and by the way, Will Smith wasnt degrading or discriminative.
Reply:U pretty much summed it up the only artists i respect in hip hop is Common and T-pain i don't like they're music but they have a little more talent.
Reply:I agree





Good Point

Reply:personally, i love listening to rock music more than anything else in the world. i hate/or being annoyed alot by hip hop and rap. but then only time i like rap is when i listen to linkin park. they combine rapping with rock/screamo.
Reply:I agree. Rap is utterly ridiculous and there's not a lot of talent involved.
Reply:Yup, you've pretty much got it right. Don't worry about it, just move on to something better.
