I honestly don’t understand why people are so bent on hating Rap/Hip Hop. We get it, you don’t like the genre, that doesn’t mean it is meaningless or “not real music.”
Here is the definition of music in case you didn’t know:
mu·sicDictionary result for music /ˈmyo͞ozik/Submit Learn to pronounce noun 1. vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. "couples were dancing to the music" synonyms:notes, strains, tones, chords, sound; More 2. the written or printed signs representing vocal or instrumental sound. "Tony learned to read music"
Last I checked, Rap fits the definition.
I honestly hardly, if ever, see rap fans attacking other genres. I don’t like Bluegrass but I don’t go out of my way to tell the people who love bluegrass that their music taste sucks. If that’s what makes you happy, listen to it. If you don’t like rap, then stay in your own lane. No one is forcing you to listen lol
It being “meaningless” is very subjective. Who are you to tell someone what a song or artist means to them? People find a deep movement in gospel, while I feel nothing. Tbh when I’m feeling down or need a confidence boost, Rap is what got me going. So many songs and rappers music got me through some hard times. So to me, it has meaning.
Morbid wouldn't you be highly opposed to rap music that is derogatory to women? Ashley Judd called it "the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny." Yeah I know not all rap music is like that. Just that as a whole, it's known to have a high amount of it, as well as other disturbing content.
I admit it I tend to feel uneasy with it. But Actually one of my best memories in a night club is dancing with an amazing girl to a rap song, a clean one though and up beat.
