    Absolutely uninspired noise, in my opinion.

      you mustn't be listening to any decent rappers. There are some real talented poets in the genre, you know.

        Sorry, its like fingernails on a blackboard to me. I'm not saying anybody else shouldn't like it, just saying how it is for me.

    It used to be about people bragging about their "struggles."

    Now, it's about moolah and big booty hoes.

    ALTHOUGH, a little Lupe Fiasco here and there never hurt anyone.

      Old school rap was good. All this new shit is dumb asses shouting out about how much better they are. Or how much money they make. Like Nas says. Hip hop is dead.

      ... Lil Lupe. lol

        Nas also said 'sleep is the cousin of death' - I like to think Hip Hop isn't dead, it's just sleeping.

          You can still find quality hip hop being produced underground/independently. Check out cyne if you haven't already; soapbox, haze, 400 years and arrow of god are just a few of many great tracks.

      Exactly. It's all about self centered celebs that flaunt there good in the listeners face .. like we care. Well I don't. I really like Kendrick and J Cole. They are really real.

        So you think rap is "nonsense" but like Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, who are rappers?

            So you don't think 'rap' is nonsense then.

            You just hate the really clichéd, commercial hip hop about banging bitches and makin' cheddar.

            Why did you ask this question?

    It's poetry of the working man with a beat. I love it.

    I'm a big fan of indie hip hop duo Atmosphere. Seen them live a few times.
    Sean Daley (frontman) writes very introspective lyrics, and Anthony Davis produces some great beats.
    When they tour they play with a live backing band.

    It's called Hip Hop. And it's a style of music that grew out of working class black America, spread across the world and is what it is today.

    Rapping is a vocal delivery style, similar to spoken word poetry, with a strong focus on rhythm and rhyme.

    I do like rap. There are plenty of good rap songs out there, somethat aren't that "deep" but is a fun song and ones that are deep and have a good sound. Sure, there are a lot of bad rap songs out there but you can say that about any genre.
