Rap Anyone ?

[HateSolstice]

I dislike rap because the lyrics, melody and rythm is almost the same in every song, vulgar lyrics, passion-free singing, negative attitude against women and the police and encouraging drugs, violence and criminality.

Ok I'm sorry, but then how can you say that you're ok with violent video games. I bet you'd see just as much (probably a lot more actually) "encouraging" of all those acts if you played San Andreas for 30 minutes, yet I bet I'd never hear you complain about that in a million years. About it all sounding the same and having passionless lyrics, well, that's just flat out wrong. Sure if all you've heard is what they play on the radio then you'd think that, but there's a lot more than just that out there.

I hate the GTA games.

Violence in video games is fine as long as there a purpose to it. Of course there are exceptions to the rules, such as ridiculous cartoon violence that is there purely for comical value. However, one does not have to condemn or dislike both.

Of course there is other types out there, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still a style of "music" that doesn't appeal to us. I personally don't give a damn how big your yacht is, or how many bitches you have, or how many caps your pop in my ass, or how much weed you smoke a day. I also don't give a damn if you grew up in "da hood", and that mommy and daddy weren't around enough in your life. We get it. One or even two songs is fine. But when it's every fucking song, it gets old. Oh, and yes, we know what your fucking name is. You don't have to repeat it every time you start a new song.

Like it or not, this is the face of rap. It may not be the only style that's there, but it's the style that the masses want. It's what is popular. Therefore all that underground stuff will stay that way.

I can apply much of this to country music as well. My wife listens to country, and it's all about the same crap from song to song.
