| I think for the most part its just really poor music. It's more often obnoxious than anything. I heard in order to enjoy rap you have to enjoy the lyrics which is not only a sign of bad music but rap lyrics are generally idiotic. |

| Great genre. The canonical stuff is a lot of crap. You can only listen to generic boom bap for so long. But beyond that, there's a lot of variety and fun: Warren G, Sadistik, Atmosphere, Foreign Beggars, The Streets, Plan B, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Tyler the Creator, Wacka Flocka Flame, Disposable Heroes, Run-DMC, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, OutKast, Kid Rock, PWEI. Crazy genre. |

| I like unique raps, not the common underground rap style or the general rap style. I like people who rap in melodious tones or the sing-rap style, preferably rappers rap with meaningful lyrics. I always get annoyed when people argue about faster rappers being better rappers. Rapping is also part of the music genre, it's hip hop! It's music! Why does a music have to be fast to be good? Rap is rhythmic storytelling, it's when you tell your story based on its emotions and flow of the music. It is speaking with a certain vibe following certain rhythm and beat, altering speed and tone with the change in emotion. Unfortunately this art is almost lost nowadays. |

To me these lyrics are hard not to laugh at. I think Kendrick's overrated as a serious lyricist but what lyrics do you consider interesting? Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools," said I, "You do not know. Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence." |

His music is more adventurous and he has more interesting lyrical ideas. His more introspective take on Gangsta Rap is interesting. |

| I used to hate it because of my perception from some of the mainstream artsits at the time. But after giving some artists that have gotten rave critical reviews like Kanye and Kendrick a second chance I've started to appreciate it more and dig a little deeper in the genre. I would never have guessed one of my favorite albums of all time would be a Kanye West album 8 years ago when Graduation was everywhere. |

Lol I like simon and garfield too but the rhyme scheme is laughable and it's overwritten at several points. which is fine, because it fits the tone of the song. but interpreting rap lyrics tonally in the same way as you would read simon and garfunkel weepy artist lyrics is just pointless, the focuses are different |

| Rap is the music genre I enjoy the most. I like the honest brutality of the vulgar lyrics as much as I like the complexity of the more elaborate ones. Rappers have fun personnalities and rap music videos are often very cool (I won't complain about the half naked girls ... I like 2D fanservice, why would I hate it in 3D ?) |

| i know everyone says "Modern rap is bad, but the retro ones are the best!" but tbh i never liked it. there's a few beats here and there i like but i have ever liked a single rap song. and i've pretty much heard the rap from its beginnings and now. |

| Can't spell crap without rap ;) Just kidding, I haven't explored the genre that far yet, but I tend to like the more experimental albums like Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein and cLOUDDEAD's stuff. MF DOOM is pretty cool, the album he made with Madlib, Madvillainy is so good. I haven't been listening to the more recent releases that much, but I thought that Milo's latest album was great, definitely my favourite rapper right now. I actually really love the weeb rappers Airospace and Kill Bill, they make some seriously underrated hip-hop these days especially Airospace, though maybe I'm just biased towards anyone that throws anime references into their music. |

Ah, maybe I worded my post poorly but I wasn't trying to say that Madvillainy was experimental or anything, just that it's one of the more noteworthy rap albums I've heard. Thanks for the recommendations though, I've been meaning to check out El-P for a while now. |
| I've never liked it. Listened to Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Eminem, DMX, Flying Lotus, NWA, and others. It's unappealing to me on a raw aesthetic level. Roughly once a year I ask around for recommendations to give it another try and I find nothing that appeals to me. Every time I end up listening to more and more obscure stuff that I don't end up remembering. |
| I hate it. I find it annoying and the tunes suck |
 |
| Rap is like the worst genre ever, they don't even play their own instruments and just talk, it's literally not music! You can't change my mind cause I have goddamn patrician taste for music!... Boi.... Rap has the Based God, best genre ever and if you don't like it fix ur ears!!! hrm anyways, love it fam and the only hip hop I hate is the uncreative crap that people pass off as hip hop.. (tbh only Playboi Carti has took that formula and made it great for me on Die Lit) I've been digging into the depths of hip-hop to prove to fam that it ain't bad like many other misunderstood genres and discovered my god Lil B, Lil Ugly Mane, MF Doom, Dälek, Aesop Rock, Denzel Curry, these fam are great. |

| Love-hate relationship (more hate though). And I've listened to stuff from its nascent stages all the way to the current era. But for the rap artists I do enjoy, I am ever more grateful since well, they don't suck lol |
| its deeper than any other genre because of its flexibility and has subgenres with roots from literally every other genre. Most people critisizing it don't understand it. Specifically talking about underground, not neutered industry plant garbage. |
 |
| I've grown to love it, especially 90s East Coast hip-hop with its smooth, pleasant flows, creative lyrics and jazzy, often experimental instrumentation. |
Take care of yourself |
| ^ Nah hip hop was better when he was around and not even around, u just too lazy to seek the good shit fam, almost everyone that thinks hip hop after the 90s is shit is. Cause I like a lot more underground hip hop from this decade compared to 2Pac. |
