music About Rap.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but using it for vile purposes like hate spreading is never justified. 

 

Besides it is not an answer on people reacting harshly on games or movies that also contain hateful messages. 

 

It's because the era of "music is evil" is over. Now it's just the media scapegoating and using gaming and television as an easy target to blame mass killings.

I like rap

 

Oh yeah I like modern rappers like Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Pitbull too, lol.

 

I also hate when people say that rap is just about drugs and money >_<

Rap is very hit or miss for me. I really like a song or I fucking hate it, with very little in between.

I like rap. I like rap a lot. However, I like it a lot when it's DONE RIGHT, and it's pretty safe to say that a majority of popular modern rappers don't do it right. Most of them have generic, bass-y beats overlayed with either obnoxious nasally voices talking about horrible things or normal voices talking about horrible things. Making that kind of music actually requires no talent. However, rap isn't entirely about that. Below I'm going to post a few rappers who do the genre a huge favor. 

(I had to put these guys on again xD)

Generally, rap's target audience isn't one I'm a member of. Even when the message is relatable, the style isn't. There isn't much subtlety to it.

The use of instruments can be important too.

 

 

Cyne is one of those that deserve WAY more attention.

How can you not like this? The beat is amazing.

I like only the old school american rap.

What a lot of people don't acknowledge is that rap is an art form like any other. I don't like it nearly as much as I used to but I have mad respect for many of the artists

I'm not a fan of rap, but I listen to it sometimes.

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

Not one of my favorite genres, but I do like to listen to Eminem sometimes.

I don’t mind it any more than any other genre. I don’t pigeonhole my interests based on a category; if I like something I listen to it. I may not buy a whole album or follow a particular artist, but if something catches my eye (or ear) I’ll add it to my playlists as quickly as anything else from any style or era. Any art form, done well, has merit, regardless of whether or not it appeals to any particular listener. Everyone has their tastes, but let the music stand on its own legs and speak for itself like any other genre.
