    I f­ucking hate elitist neckbeard pricks like that. "Ahyuck a durr it takes skill to perform a guitar solo. You only have to press a button in electronic music hurr." Oh really, so you instantly know how to operate software like [url=http://howtomakeelectronicmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/best-daw.jpg]this[/url] with no difficulties whatsoever? Really? That's what you're implying right?

  • The funny thing, especially when it comes to boomers that make the argument you're mocking, is that most of the popular rock from the 60s-80s has just as much self-glorification, celebration of wealth, and objectifying of women as rap. That said, I think they're both largely garbage. If we're going by broad genres, I prefer classical and electronica. Vocals should only be there to assist the music, not the vocalist.

  • Music is like candy, you throw away the rappers. [quote]Those dumb black people dont make music they just talk about getting high and killing cops and beating up women. [/quote] I'm sure there's plenty of rap that has nothing to do with any of that, doesn't mean it still isn't shit. [quote]thats why i only listen to rock and metal, the only truly good genres of music. Praise metallica!" [/quote] Classical is the only the genre where you can say you have enlightened taste in music.

    • I find it hilarious that all these people say "90's rap was way better, today's rap is garbage." Trying to be so hipster, or they're just having a nostalgia trip. Rap is better now than it ever has been before, because it's grown and developed as a genre. There is much more variety to it now than ever. Also, according to these nostalgia critics, mainstream rap today is awful. Let's take Drake for example, one of the most mainstream rappers of the day. Even Jay-Z and Nas (two 90's legends) have acknowledged that he is extremely talented. Drake extended the boundary of rap with his singing/rapping that Kanye West had done with 808's and Heartbreaks. Kanye West is also one of the greatest musicians of the present day, and thanks to him rap has evolved and continued to evolve. If you disagree because you don't like Kanye West as a person, you are ignorant to his overall contribution to rap. Rap is bigger now, and as such, if you look hard enough, you can find a type of rap to fit any taste you might have for it. So even if you are one of those people who thinks the 90's rap was better, you can find artists who still embody that 90's rap style and flair.

        • I highly dislike rap, I find it non-entertaining and just simply annoying. But guess what? I'm don't have the maturity of a 10 year old, and do not go around making stupid hate threads.

            • [quote]hey just talk about getting high and killing cops and beating up women[/quote] Except that is true about rap. Rarely do I hear rap that isn't about such things

            • Not all rappers are black, but all rap is not on my list of "things I would listen to if someone was holding a gun to my head and told me to". Although I think every type of music can be salvaged to find at least one good quality. For rap it's the percussion.

            • I light the room up like a lamp I am the champ Got so many wins I can't see where I'm walkin in my gucci lens Don't ever date a single girl when you can have a set of twins Conjoined at the hips, with flakey ass lips Smoke crack and acid, Im never flacid Shoot hoops with a homeless guy who poops, in the middle of the street, he's is always down to shoot me a beat He don't even got shoes on his feet! Chick ch-ch-chick chicka chickaw I am a male rooster and you are just a loser!

            • Electronic genres are definetly music. And a lot harder and take a lot longer to make. There is still good rap, like eminem, kid cudi, childish gambino(for the most part), they barely rap about drugs amd girls etc. kanye is good sometimes and a few others. Rap is about rhyming flow and word scheming. Its like poetry on steroids. I dont really consider kid cudi a rapper anymore tho but he still belongs in that group and hrs great. Classical isnt real music??
