Ahhhh yeah. Simple 4/4 timed rhythms made with computer programs. Lyrics that focus on maybe a handful of subjects but always lack any semblance of ambiguity. Melody lines that focus on the 1, 3, and 5 of the major scale.

Perfect for the general population.

BS...Rap/hip hop is not music by any stretch! Any two bit thug can do it and most have no talent or knowledge of what music is. Just another reflection of the air head youth of today!

What’s the alternative? Country music is garbage. Rock is dead or dying. Music today is pure shite. Tupac wouldn’t listen to any of it.

Rap today is nothing but bro country for urban idiots. Shallow stupid shite for shallow stupid shite people.




It gets dumber by the year, which is indicative of how we’ve become as a society. Shallow and self absorbed. We’ve got some self reflection to do, all of us.

Which is a damn shame, b/c 99% of rap/hip-hop is pure fricking garbage..

People just have shite taste in music these days.

The good stuff isn't on the radio anymore so you have to be willing to sift through a lot of shite these days.

I actually spend more time going back and exploring older genres I've missed.

Most of the modern music that I find that I like isn't from the big record labels.

Probably because rap at least remains true to its form.

Other genres like country have gone to shite

True in that they still rap but the music itself has changed as rapidly as any other genre I can think of.

I like old school country and rock/alternative. There has been a resurgence in traditional country music. It's just not what's being played on the radio. Go listen to Cody Jinks or Sturgill Simpson.

It's really awful - its all they play at the Nike and Adidas campuses

The lyrics are so banal and offensive to women - more insane double standards by so-called "liberals".

I know you’re joking but I forgot that was a thing. Last time I passed through it was terrible and filled with nothing but Phish threads.

Not going to lie. Your ability to turn anything into politics is impressive.
