Honestly, forget rap music.

Yeah I wasn't talking about you. I was addressing the kind of people ABELBOTO was talking about. Also I wasn't talking about dads who simply show their kids the music they like, but instead dads who try to force it on their kids basically.

That being said, rap music is loving overprocessed bird stuff per quota.

I already explained why this doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if rap has more stuff per capita if there's enough good rap to outshine the bad rap. There being more bad rap than bad metal affects nobody, because neither sees the light of day.

If you agree with that point, then your topic statement is completely worthless (saying "rap has more crap per capita than other genres") because that statement on its own has no insight into the value of the rap/hip hop genre. It's nothing more than controversy for attention's sake.

I'm an 80s guy, but honestly, some rap is okay.

[Sheepocalypse]

Anyone saying "most of rap is bad" or "99% of it is stuff" has a worthless opinion, because they clearly haven't actually experienced enough rap to say that. Even if rap has a greater "stuff to good" ratio (Perhaps because more young people look to rap and hip hop as a way out of poverty, than, say, country or metal) that isn't a mark against the medium itself, because anyone worth listening to that there's more quality rap than one can listen to in a lifetime, and the same can be said about most big genres like that.

You're right. I guess 14 years of constant garbage isn't a big enough sampling size.

Dude. Your argument is flawless. I lose.

Kanye can't even loving sing in tune

If you try to deny that Kanye West is one of the most influential artists of this century then you don't know anything about music and you aren't worth listening to.

I'm a music composition student. I know a lot more than the average person that there's just a good forgetton of music out there and I can't just blast an entire genre because there's always going to be something else in that genre that I haven't listened to

Didn't you say you haven't even been to a music comp class yet? Don't brag about how your opinion is superior because you're taking music classes if you haven't even been to one yet.

He also married a girl who got famous through a leaked love tape and declares himself the new king of music. Of course, the only people who call him that are himself and his fans.

I've been listening to a lot of music in preparation for classes later in college. That's how I came up with that opinion. And if I'm correct, it's also the opinion of almost everyone else on this thread, so clearly it is the superior opinion here.

whats that new broccoli song with j cool or whoever the forget

You're probably thinking of broccoli by d.r.a.m.

J Cole isn't even in that song lmao

Are you just naming things that are irrelevant in an attempt to refute my point?

A majority of todays music listeners listen to rap. Does this mean liking rap is a superior opinion? You just disproved your own point with that one.

That song slaps. Always gets me in a feel good mood

funny thing is those edgelords don't realize is that mainstream music was always stuff, it's just people remembered the good songs and forgot all the stuffty ones.

Rap has consistently been at the top of of charts that gauge musics popularity such as Billboard Top 100, Spotify Top 100 etc. since the early 2000s and even before then.

Aren't you like 12 years old

Aren't you like 12 years old

What does age have to do with musical taste?

that still doesn't make sense because 1 rap song could be at the very top with a bunch of different genres right below it
also i'm fairly sure that those lists don't account for every person who listens to music nor every single song that's being listened to
this also brings another question: are these lists even accurate? with so much controversial stuff that's gone on in the music industry in the past few years i wouldn't be surprised to find out that these lists are being manipulated
also how do they gauge the popularity of music? how much it's been listened to? talked about on social media? what?
