Errr... pointless flame bait thread?

[CoLdFuSi0n]

I hate rap, i really can't see how people can stand listening to crap like that, its almost as bad as listening to Justin Timberlink

Errr... pointless flame bait thread?

You're right.... but basically, it's because I hate black people

Yea ok you hate it..but this thread is about why ?

So far somebody said they didn't like the slang and computer made beats, opinions I respect. But what do you dislike about it ?

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

wow someone listened to me ^_^

I think that some people don't like rap music / hip hop because of the tendencies of some people to play it at full blast, with overly large speakers, with their windows rolled down while driving down the road. Being forced to listen to someone else's music because they like to feel their eardrums clap together with the beat, whatever type of music it is, is quite annoying.

As for the music itself, I also don't see much musical talent in talking to computer-generated beats. I understand that much of it is very creative and has poetic value and I respect it because of that , but a lot of it loses the poetic respect with vulgarity / made up words / rhymes that don't actually rhyme etc. When you defeat the poetry of it like that, then there is nothing left but talking to computer-generated beats.

basically i don't like rap cause they basically crap about the same thing over and over again, money, ######, and gangs, like really its gets so OLD.

I dont hate all rap music, but most of it, especially nowadays is quite unoriginal, lacks creativity, its very repetitive and even lyrics make no sense any more.... It's all about the videos and are there are going to be any half naked chicks on the them or not. When a song like "To the window", "Who let the dogs out", and other crap like that becomes top rated material then you know for sure that RAP has gone down the toilet...

[Novaoblivion]

I just dont like the way it sounds, I dont mind some of it but most of it doesnt appeal to me.

[Mrcookjr]

The only thing I can't stand is "nu metal". That crap can die. Die and go to the Hell which it was born from. Slipknot my bawls.

[Whinges]

Because they put the rap in crap.

[batbeef]

If you think rap music is all about the same thing..then you are basically uneducated or uninformed. Nas anybody ?

[R-Flex]

The most obvious implication:

It doesn't sound appealing. It is annoying. Please desist with your rap music.

[Slacker]

What I don't like is how it often seems to glorify a lifestyle and set of ideals that don't really have any positive value.

It seems to convey the idea that there is no hope, that you're going to be screwed no matter what, and if you do manage to get lucky it's only at someone else's expense.

I just have a difficult time finding much that's positive in the messages that are contined in many rap songs. I don't understand why someone would want to glorify that kind of living and mentality, regardless of if there are people actually living in such a state or not.

[QuarterSwede]

I don't like the attitude that most Rap portrays: "Look at me and how great I am!"

we are on a site dedicated to technology and most of use are educated nerds :happy: i was kinda brought up to like this music (and when i was a few years younger i did) but not anymore (however saying all i have, i do like SOME remixes of songs)

Are you trying to say everybody that listens to rap are not educated nerds.

I think I'm proof that that kind of logic is wrong.

[Purple Haze]

I'm just sick of the unoriginal crap, all the cookie-cutter, emotionless retreads. Yeah, you're throwing money - so are a billion others. Come with a real message, Public Enemy style. Rap about something you feel strongly about, not about how rich you are or how all the ladies love you.

[AmpCoder]

I do not like it, because I do not see it as music.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

no im not saying all people have to be uneducated to like rap, im saying (around where i live) a large number of rap liking people tend to be the people who skip school etc. (ive dug myself a hole now :blush:

Think he was replying to your comment about being uneducated and misinformed.

I personally don't like rap, never have, its just not my type of music, simple as that.

Dude, you started a thread about why people hate rap. In doing this you made the generalisation that you either like or dislike rap, and did not allow for opinions such as "Some generic MTV rap is lame, but there are truly some pioneers within this genre."

So your last statement should be redirected back at yourself. Also, this topic has been done to death a hundred times over!

Unoriginal...maybe rap on the radio is unoriginal...so is every other type of music on the radio and yea that includes Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Fall Out Boy,... I don't hear alot of other type of genres trying to make a good message but I guess it's a double standard, rap always gets blamed for everything.
