Rap is NOT "music". It's RECITATION (with terrible diction) accompanied by music. Why is such amateur stuff like rap so popular with morons?

Question

Update:

It's near impossible to understand more than 10% of the words they recite, due to their terrible diction. They may as well do it in Chinese.

Update 2:

Random ----- Thank you so much for knowing your place.

Update 3:

Random ---- I just gave you a thumbs up. Lucky you.

Answer 1

Coming from a person who disliked rap songs. I've come to learn that rapping is an art. Not everybody can actually rap. 👀 Rap has different kinds of flows. Rap music is like a totally different genre of music. Some are extremely fast and smooth. While others are raw and touching. Some have so much emotions with meaningful lyrics. Some just disgust me. Not everybody likes rap music and I respect that. It's all about whose rap you're listening to. xx

Answer 2

Don't generalize all rap, ****. Gangster rap is an art. It is a beautiful thing that speaks to the woes of living a life on the street. It was only when it devolved into meaningless mumble rap that it became meaningless. You want good rap? Try Ice T. Or NWA. Or snoop dog. or some old eminem...

Answer 10

Oh, I didn't realize that you were the arbitrator of what is and what isn't considered music.  Thank God you are around to teach us mere simpletons what "proper" music is.
