The rap game is in shambles right now largely because of Lil Wayne (post Carter II) and acts like soulja boy. It's fallen off hugely over the last 5 years.
Hip-hop is where it's at. Good hip-hop that actually addresses issues while sounding good is fantastic.

Idk if thats the legit definition of the two terms but I could get behind that segregation of the two

I can't believe yall dont see a difference between rap and hip hop. That really does astound me. But, those are just examples that popped into my head. In no way a legit definition, but there is a distinct line between the two. A lot of the better rappers out today lean more towards hip hop instead of gangster rap (old kayne/lupe)

I see the distinction you are making I have just never thought of it as seperate like that.

Historically, hip hop is the culture. Graffiti, breakdancing, djs and mcs, the 4 elements.
I tend to use the terms mainstream and underground for the differences in rap. Regardless of what you call it theres a HUGE difference these days between the two.

I think its funny when people bash a musical genre or culture because they dont understand it or identify with it.
"Regardless of the talent it took to make it, I will not listen to rap or hip hop because I fricking hate the way it sounds." ?

compare groups like blackstar, a tribe called quest, and the roots with the lil waynes, soulja boys, and those who only rap about money and drugs. Huge difference

Rap - not really music, just bad poetry
Country - Cheesy
Christian Music - Cheesier
Raggae - All sounds the same.The quarter beat upstrokes bore me.
Blues - Kind of boring. I find it playing hard stuff just for the sake of showing off. Melodies are lame, no hooks.
Heavy Metal - Not usually melodic
Light Rock(anything on 96.1) - Really annoying
Anything else I left off?

so what do you actually like??
Posted on 4/18/12 at 5:18 pm to genxtiger
Lots of rock, indie, alternative and pop. Not radio pop really.... Some hip hop, classical(or romantic rather). Lots of other stuff. It's not like the genres I picked were that broadly reaching outside of rap, country, and blues.

Also, bear in mind I don't think all of those suck(some I do). I just won't listen to them because I don't find them enjoyable enough to listen to over something I enjoy,
