Rap is the worst genre


Maybe screamo metal is worse but you catch my drift.

Racist much?

Is it racist to dislike symphonies, ballets and concertos? I personally like Western classical music, but would never accuse someone else of being racist against whites - unless, of course, dislike of white people was specifically stated as the reason for not liking it. Why would disliking rap make some one a racist against blacks as a matter of course? What about the many white, Asian, Hispanic, etc. rappers? How do you know the poster doesn't like Ragtime, Blues, Reggae or Jazz? For all you know, rap may be the exception and the poster enjoys other previous forms of Afro-inspired music.

Benefit of the doubt.

Racist? I love jazz, which has had a great deal of Black creative input and participation over the past century. In fact, there are many music historians who consider Jazz a predominantly black art form. I can listen to Motown and sometimes actually enjoy it. But I regard rap as non-musical noise with lyrics that reflect brutal criminal ghetto culture. Apparently, by your completely illogical criteria, that makes me racist. Well then, as stupid as that is, I'll just have to reconcile myself to living without your approval.

1/2 approved.

I dislike Rap but I do like Nat King Cole. Therefore I am not racist.

Could you elaborate on why you think saying "Rap is the worst genre" is racist?

A lot of people on the internet just scream "Racist!" when they see a trigger word without actually looking at the context , or even thinking about the statement at all , you're not one of those are you?

That’s what it looks like to trust your intuition. Before you learn to trust your gut, however, you need to be open to it, welcoming it into your life knowing that it might not always make sense, but that you’re willing to follow it. (chopra.com)

Partly, a gut feeling.

Hip hop or hip-hop, also known as rap and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that was originated in the Bronx borough of New York City in the early 1970s by African Americans, having existed for several years prior to mainstream discovery. (wikipedia)

Partly, how can all rap be crap? Smells fishy.

“Racist much?”

No, it’s just terrible music.

reply

Yep, rap does suck. I'm not creative at all, so no, it's not jealousy.

There are genres beyond of which you can't even comprehend so before making a general statement based strictly on your limited scope please state it as such.

reply

I'm familiar with and comprehend every genre of music that exists, including rap. If any genre can be said to be entirely without merit, it is rap. Yes, rap sucks.

reply

I don't like most rap, particularly mumble-trap rap, but this 12 year old whinefest of a movie has Boomer-Doomer energy written all over it.

Since Rap has become a global music genre embedded in every human culture it's silly to me that this movie should hold ANY relevance.

Shit, even AnriWoke charlatan Vivek Ramaswamy is rapping on his campaign trail and that shit is cringier than DJ Khalid and Drake combined.

I love the old school rap when they were more focused on telling a story.
