Rap Argument Thread (split from top 5 albums)

[Killuminati]

Don't be such a douche Killuminati. If you are asserting that any less than 98% of all rap and hip-hop ever produced is shit then you are kidding yourself. Most rock and jazz and other genres are mostly shit too, but it is more like 90-95% shit (depending on the genre). Of course there is good rap and good hip-hop, but most of it isn't.

How am I being a douche when no one who listens to hip hop said ANYTHING negative about anyone's choice of music. Then someone mentions rap and people immediately start saying shit like.

"There isn't a single rap album everyone should listen to before they die. "

"rapfags are as bad as potheads "

"My prejudices are going to show here....but...

...there should not be a single rap album on this list. "

What the fuck is that shit? I don't understand how people talk shit on rap but don't talk shit on other genres. EVERY GENRE has a lot of shitty mainstream music. They also all have good music true to the genre that isn't just bullshit. I tend to prefer rap but I listen to a lot of rock, some metal, whatever I listen to and enjoy. Why can't other people have this mindset. Let people listen to what they want and don't fucking say shit about it. If someone posts some rap albums why not actually fucking listen to some of it before you say anything. I can understand being critical of artists but only for legitimate reasons, don't just blindly stereotype an entire fucking genre of music based on a few songs you hear on the radio. I mean what good music is there on the radio anymore? Sure they will play a few good songs here and there but for the most part it's just shitty.

Mr. E I don't understand where you are getting these percentages of good music to shitty music for different genres. Oh wait I do, you are just pulling them out of your ass. Have you heard every fucking song ever made in any genre and listened to them competely objectively? No you haven't, so you can't just make up statistics.

The general dislike of rap by most of the members of this community I would imagine is based upon the worst of the genre, not the best, because to hear the best you have to go out of your way because niggers don't like the best rap and hip-hop so it doesn't get any play.

So it's ok for me to tell people that their genre of choice is shitty because I choose to listen to a mainstream songs I knew were going to be garbage? Oh hey let's judge music based on the "WORST OF THE GENRE". How can you not understand that this kind of attitude would piss someone off who actually listens to the good music of that genre. It's frustrating because people don't even give it a chance and completely write it off as terrible.

edit: and crysack what shinysides said is exactly what I think.

edit2: oh yea and crysack let me tell you about my favorite rapper 50 cent.
