After going over a blog today in class I noticed this is like an anonomus way to share somthing you're passionate about. And because i am not Mr. Writer I almost think sharing somthing im passionate about is one of the only way to write somthing worth reading be it right or wrong.
Im sure not many people will agree with me, especially not many people in my generation. It's fine if you dont because thats your right but I dont think much could change my mind. So rather than Hiding my topic much longer I'll put it simply. I Hate Rap music.
I despise it. I feel it's just dumb. Rap takes no real talent other than perfecting a skill you learned at the age of 2 and becoming a master of ryhming. Woo Hoo! big deal.... They most likely didnt learn to play an instrument, or at least dont show it. Rappers find a beat most likley made by computers and then loop it. Now how long did that take? probably not long considering some are actualy reusing beats from classic rock songs like "crazy train" "inna gadda da vida" "cold as ice" and others. Then tarnishing a once good song with terrible lyrics. What are the lyrics about? though its steryotypical as some of my opinions are, one cannot deny the fact that sellin drugs and pimpin hoes is a reoccuring theme or trend in the musical genre.Not to mention the fact that it actually rapes the english language and dumbs it down.
Before I slander another genre let me back up what I'm comparing it to. I am a black sheep in todays generation. I love metal and classic rock. Both of which take years of practice and skill to master an instrument foriegn to ones hands before learning to play it. I suppose I'm a bit bias because I play (or try to play) guitar. When comparing Raps skill level to a genre with ACTUAL instuments I just dont find rap respectable.
On the other side though, I do respect the fact that yes, rap is good for dancing....but I'm not sure what else. Mabey if the rappers actually played an instrument while rapping or just had a band to play while they rapped I wouldnt be so irritated at the mindless following they have spawned. If your opinion differs I understand. I know I cant change the culture of our generation. Just I would like you to think the next time you here a rap song "was that really that hard to create?"

I see where your coming from when you say that rap does not really consist of any talent besides rhyming words together. I also do agree when you say that rap is good for dancing. However I do like rap, I think it has a good beat and rhythm. I do not think you are the only one that dislikes rap, and I would have to say a lot of people probably agree but I do not.
Every rap song sounds the same to me. But it doesn't mean I like it. The bass that pounds against my head, the lyrics of fornication and car rims. Ah, sweet bliss. They should be considered for a Pulitzer for some of their writing. I mean some of it is absolutely magnificent. Take for example, "Soulja Boy". Even his name is catchy! Like a soldier, except he wears low pants and doesn't fight in any kind of battles; except maybe a rap battle! Woah! We just got served!
