Top Ten Reasons to Hate Rap

That is literally all that rap has done for the music industry, and they use it to bring down any meaning that the song may have had any chance of getting across. This obscene culture simply hasn't produced anything meaningful, and only does justice to making their followers consume ecstasy and kill people. But they get away with it by making themselves look good. I haven't heard one rap song that has earned my respect, and it pains me to see them dominate the industry for this long-term deception.

That is a generalization and an inaccurate one too. I don't ever hate things without exploring them complexly and giving them a fair chance. I gave rap a fair chance and I ended up loving certain niches of it. You can be uninterested in rap, or not feel like exploring it, but don't reign hatred over something you don't know anything about. I believe rap surfaced as a byproduct of living in difficult places and situations, so its rough, uncensored and blunt. Sometimes, that's refreshing.

Even Soulja Boy opened the door for many more stupid rap dances like the Quan, Whip, Crank The soul boy, and Nae Nae. UGH! Even other pop artists like The Weeknd, Adele, The Wanted, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake are way better!

Most become famous for appearance. Thanks to this generation

Yup, no question, except maybe did some drugs

But it's actually in a rap voice or something, then it has to be fast (Lil Wayne or Kodak Black or crap rappers like that don't but Eminem and 2Pac do). And then you have to rhyme it.

I agree. They talk over a very boring beat and call that trash music.

That is straight up wrong. You know nothing about music.

Open your minds and explore the world of rap further... Honestly most everything on the radio is trash, why base your opinions of rap off of what they play there?

All rap songs are about is sex, ladies, and money with a bunch of curse words in between.

Have you ever heare rap not from the radio? You're judgeing an entire culture/genre on stereotypical "mainstream" rap.

Haha. Never mind Axl Rose or Liam Gallagher two rock icons who would start fights on stage. Two excellent songwriters who let their egos and terrible personalities destroy their career. Rock stars are no different from rappers lol.

Okay, you've listed 3 scumbags of the rap industry. There's like 200 other rappers, your point is...?

Nicki Minaj is a dramatic brat, Lil Wayne is an idiot, Kayne West is a racist.

I don't enjoy a song with violent and sexual content, so I'm choosy with my rap. But I was surprised by the number of songs that are extremely meaningful and emotional from the rap world. A great example would be My Oh My by Macklemore and For Those Who Can't Speak, by Tenth Avenue North (if Christian rap is more approachable).

Macklemore doesn't make offensive songs. Listen to Wings or Same Love (an song supporting gay rights)

Not all do. 2Pac, Eminem, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and countless others don't. Also Eminem is the most popular rapper and never autotunes. So I think you just know Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj and the bad side of Kanye and that's it (there is even a good side of Kanye)

Listening to rap, I might as well be listening to dubstep with a person instead of a computer.

Every reason in this list applies to the new rappers...none of these are right for the gilden age of 90s

3 Rap music videos? Two too many.
Each one is a variation of the other.
Bling, biatches and booty. People say it is unique. It lost its uniqueness on the first video.
It is monotonous, boring has no message and is quite simply shocking.
White lines it isn't.

It's naked women running around while the rapper does a porn shot with them.

The song WAP both the music video & live performance is like "do we really had to see it"?

This is so true.
If I wanted to listen to rap, I would get my mate to read poetry and roll around a tin box with marbles in it.
If I wanted to listen to music, I would put Dream Theater on.

I agree with you 100 percent

Black Sabbath is music.

They aren't creative. Real musicians, who have real talent write their own songs and actually sing them. Therefore, they are the ones who deserve the big money

Sampling songs is part of hip hop, they don't "recycle" them, they take a loop of a song and add a beat to it.

An example is Anaconda is recycled from baby got back. A chimp would realise the similarity

Yes it's annoying I like melodies not beats. If I must be annoyed with a beat then at least give me melodic singing, not some self indulgent crap from guys who are full of themselves that does not sing but talks like they are at an auction, with the most annoying thug like voices. I hate country music as well so it's not about race.

There is only some of the clean version of albums but most of them don't have clean version they the explicit version of the album

They just say meaning words fast

Maybe metalheads wouldn't hate us so much if they turned on the radio, found a catchy pop song with an artist who can sing well and the song is pretty touching, without some idiot jumping in doing a stupid dance while rapping stupid lyrics that have little to do with the song.

It's so annoying! Whenever there is a pop song I love, there is this rap part which ruins the flow of the song! For example:
Everyday-Ariana Grande
No Broken Hearts-Bebe Rexha
Steady-Bebe Rexha
And these are just some of the songs that I like that rap has ruined! There are so many others! I hate rap!

This is so annoying. How many Mariah Carey songs were basically ruined because of rappers? Same with Christina and Beyonce.

This is probably the only thing I agree with on the list. But sometimes the b word is used as slang in the same way that black rappers use the n word

Some rappers just say it like a normal word to try to rhyme.

This is why I don't like most rappers, I like some of them.

All the popular kids love it at my school and I ask why to myself and just say that there low life people

The fanbase doesn't mean a single thing about how good it is

I have the utmost respect for many genres I don't like like Jazz. Even Metal is hard to my ears but Rap...sorry I just can't...

So true but in reality, they are all cowards.

So true, but in reality they are all cowards.

"I've seen oxycontin take four lives
I grew up with them we used to chief dimes
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
Cheating and lying
Friendship cease
No peace in the mind
Stealing and taking anything to fix the pieces inside
Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
Only motivation for what the dealers supplying." -Otherside, Macklemore.

Yeah, maybe so, but drug addiction is real and awful, and sometimes they recover and make a song like that that motivates those affected by addiction to get clean. To say that's meaningless and worthy of your hatred is kind of just insensitive.

I'm pretty sure there are more rock stars addicted to drugs than rappers. You guys talk like ozzy ozborne, Kurt cobain, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, David Bowie, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, and Elvis Presley weren't all drug addicts. Drugs are used by many people in many different genres, placing them all into rap is pretty ignorant.

I agree, it sounds like garbage. However there are a few rappers that sing about things other than that, such as Dead and Gone by T.I. That's about the only rap song I like.

Listen to some country. All they sing about are trucks, girls, and beer.

A few of them do, because it's theor style. How does that relate to the music.

Fact. A two year old can rap because that's how simple it is and takes no form of skill.

No it's not that it's just they mumble too fast and make the lyrics slurred
Just plain garbage music man

It all has the same message, same overly auto- tuned voices and in general, they all just sound the same

Same nonsense
