Rap and Hip Hop are different styles of music. I swear to god, why do people think they can break an entire culture down into a few artists who admittedly are only trying to further their own monetary goals. Not all rappers are the same, and as I've learned from internet forums, there is an underground movement behind every genre of music, and said movement usually tends to be better than mainstream shit. I can't help you if you listen to rap on the radio and enjoy it. That just means you like that particular kind of rap, which in my opinion is awful. However, underground rap/hip-hop is completely different, and if you haven't listened to it, don't pass judgment on it.Seriously, why is everyone such a little bitch about music? Why do I have to listen to your music? I don'tforce you guys to listen to mine, but when you say something so general as "rap is rapping about big screen tv's, blunts, 40's, and bitches" it is rude. I did not generalize your shitty taste in music, don't do it to mine.
