I Hate Rap Music

I hate rap music in general with very few exceptions, and I can only tolerate it when some of the song has actual singing in it. Here is why I hate it:

1. Rap music should not really be called music. It's usually just some guy reading really bad poetry to a beat.
2. In most rap songs, it seems that every other word is an obscenity. Apparently swearing along with really bad grammar is supposed to make them look "cool" somehow.
3. Rap music in General is very demeaning to women, acting like every woman should be a wh*re. Nicki Minaj's songs are extremely demeaning to herself and she apparently thinks it's cool to act like a wh*re. Women deserve to be treated better than that.

if Nicki Minaj wants to rap about enjoying sex or her life as a sexual woman, that's totally fine. that's not demeaning to herself because she's comfortable with her sexuality. and just because someone may swear in their music doesn't make it bad. rap is music, just not delivered in the same manner as The Beatles. rap originated from people telling stories of struggles in their hard lives, so it's not going to be all glamorous and warm. and finally, in the case of rappers like Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and RATKING, those rhymes are so so clever, coming up with really insightful puns and references in a handful of words. just because it's unconventional does not make it bad.

Well then what if I'm a necrophiliac and I'm comfortable with that? Then that's totally fine if I want to rap about my sex life with corpses and just because it's unconventional it must not be bad. And of course Nicki Minaj can come up with great rhymes like "polos" and "moguls" and mispronounce them like "pow-lows" and "mow-gows" so they actually sound like they rhyme.

not sure why you're so bitter about an art form that you don't understand. sex is completely natural and just because she's blatantly talking about it as opposed to coming up with metaphors for it like Led Zeppelin or Prince or whomever you deem good doesn't mean she's bad or wrong. and I like the line you chose, where she's clearly using a voice and different inflection, which is part of her whole "thing". it's just amazing to me that people can have this idea about rap. it's delivered in a different fashion, for a different reason, and people get this horrible elitist attitude about it. I assume you despise Kanye West too.

Of course sex is natural, but she's making herself an advertisement for it. She's portraying herself as willing to give it all to anyone. If she thought better of herself she'd be more modest and wait until a guy who actually deserved it came along

I really don't believe she is. she's talking about things she enjoys but it's clear from other songs of hers that she isn't just going to have sex with any man, and she talks about that in interviews and things. she's just talking about what she enjoys. I talk about it too, freely, as do many women, but does that mean I'm going to sleep with anyone? not at all. and I think her comfort with speaking so openly about something people tend to be uptight about proves she's happy enough and comfortable enough with herself to say something like that. it's frustrating that people never make a big deal about male rappers and their hypersexualization of women but as soon as a girl does it she's being a slut or doesn't respect herself.

Men's hypersexualization of women in rap is disgusting. Most of them act like they own the woman. They obviously don't really love the woman. They love her ass, love her boobs, and love having sex with her. They also act like they themselves are so amazing that no girl can refuse them. It's narcissistic and sexist preaching male dominance. And when women go along with it they are letting themselves be dominated.
