I think if done right, some can be ok, the pop shit irritates me so much right now I want to destroy my keyboard. The human beat box guys are something though.

If you think that American rap is bad, try listening to RUSSIAN RAP! :shock:

On the other hand, don't. Russian is not a very rap-able language, and the result is well...it makes American rap sound awesome.

And I won't even go into the text of the "lyrics" there.

Have a very nice day.

Some rap is fucking awesome, some is really bad, overall, I think it's ok. It's certainly better than country music or folk music, and the best rap is better than the best rock, IMO (though there's more good rock than good rap).

Let me guess: Most russian rappers promote some screwball political agenda?

Rap from about 10 years ago was OK and even amusing. Mainstream rap should be flushed.

No disrespect but the black schools of SP is hardly indicitive of black schools across the nation. Your experiences with the schools in one city in one region of the country doesn't mean they're all the same.

Back on topic, the majority of rap that catch, I like. There is some definate bullshit on the airwaves, but the same can be said of any kind of music. Pharcyde, De La Soul, Busta, Tupac, and some others are pretty good. Some of 50 and DMX is coo, but some isn't...

You and ArmorPierce are right; I should have generalized like that. Sorry.

I vehemntly hate all forms of Rap. Many in my family do as well. I consider it non-musical drivel.

I absolutely DESPISE that shit they call music. I hate it worse than country music, which puts me on the verge of puking everytime I hear it....

Nearly all rap is about one or a combination of the following:
Sex, Drugs, and Violence.

There's very little variety from what I can tell. I'll admit Eminem's stuff is pretty catchy, but I can't honestly say I really like it. Rap is to music as crayons are to fine art.

I think it was Fgalkin's comment about Russian rap which did it...

Why won't this entire genera of music die already? (That's how much I hate rap).
