Top 10 Reasons Why Rap Music Sucks

The Top Ten
1 It embodies everything wrong with 2010s music

The thing about the hip-hop genre is that it has people who are lyrical geniuses to people who mumble about sex, drugs and murder and then autotune their voices. All sorts of extremes. I'm grateful that hip-hop is getting so much recognition in the 2010s though. Peak

You can listen to whatever genre you like, but y'all should really catch up on today's music.

Songs really aren't NEARLY as good now as they were in the 70s and 80s.

Mark these words, Rap’s popularity is going to die in the following 5 or 10 years.

2 It encourages negative racial stereotypes
3 Half of the songs are about drugs, sex and/or money

Wrong.Tupac,Immortal Technique and Kendrick Lamar have made songs about political and conscious issues.God this list is so stereotypical.

Also bullying someone else

Same thing as one.

4 Talking really fast doesn't count as actual singing

Rapping is rhythm talking. Not talking really fast. And there is nothing wrong with it.

No it doesn't.. Because it is called rapping.

Rapping and singing are different

It still takes talent though.

5 Uninspired attempts to look cool
6 Rappers have annoying voices

No way! Rappers who use autotune have amazing voices and they are great!

7 It tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator
8 Every other word said in these "songs" are the F-bomb or some variant

Those are just swear words, not a big deal at all.

10 The really bad Soundcloud rappers

True but there are non rappers who are bad on soundcloud
