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. |

rap these days for the most part sucks |
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one For the Union makes us strong |

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. |

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." |

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. |

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." 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 |

Feaor said: 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. I don't understand how can anyone dislike Dark Fantasy. It's experimental, varied, catchy, fun and emotionally deep. |

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 ?) |

We gon' be alright I keep my head up high I cross my heart and hope to die Lovin' me is complicated Too afraid, a lot of changes I'm alright and you're a favorite Dark nights in my prayers I remembered you was conflicted Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same Abusing my power full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screamin' in the hotel room I didn't wanna self destruct, the evils of Lucy was all around me So I went runnin' for answers 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." 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 At least it's not in some retarded ghetto slang with constant uses of words like nigga and bitch. Honestly I could care less about the lyrics if the music is good. |

I'm weird .Most of my friends like it but I personally don't see much merit in listening to music about how much money or how many bitches a guy is getting . |

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. |

The majority of modern rap does not do much for me, there are a few select artists, albums, and songs I like, but I would say rap, next to most male country artists, is one of the less interesting genres to me. To each their own. Modern trap YOLOSWAG rap doesn't do much for me. |

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.

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. |

If you think Madvillainy is experimental, you've got a lot to look forward to. Madvillainy is unoriginal as hell. You'll enjoy El-P and Subtle. |

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. |

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. |

rap is kind of like the gutter oil of music I can enjoy it/laugh at it to some extent but then I come back to reality and think about some of the actual master musicians out there and its like aight, on second thought I'm gonna cook my food in cooking oil instead of sewage |
