To me, Rap is Retards Attempting Poetry.
I listen to all kinds of music. Rap, might be the only kind that I will make the blanket statement that I cannot stand it.
I don't like opera, but there are portions of Mozart's The Magical Flute I enjoy. I couldn't sit through an opera, but I could easily hand-pick arias and such that I will listen to.
Disco is an abomination, yet if I hear YMCA or Turn the Beat Around, I cannot help but start tapping a toe or humming along.

I agree with that.. Though I've never heard of "The Magical Flute". The irony is that my brother accuses me of being narrow-minded about music, and yet the only genre's he ever listens to are Heavy Metal and Rap. The only rap song I've ever really liked was Dear Slim by KJ52.

listen to songs like Stan by eminem, or harlem streets by immortal technique and youll hear something educational rather the soem pussy ass idoit talking about how much he loves some girl( which is what almost every rock song is about). you listen to some of tupacs old songs and some of those have more meaning in them then anything i have ever heard. maybe problem isnt the song but your interpretion of them.

Besides, I'm not critisizing you for liking rap, Shimraa, give me a break. I was just replying to what Starkiller said. It's not like I hate rap uniformed either. Plus there is some rap I can tolerate, such as when Linkin Park raps to rock music.

No, actually, I'm NOT listening. I cannot stand to listen.
The # 1 stop for kids on the library computers is Yahoo!Music (previously known as Launch).
Maybe the music is good and I'm not giving it a chance, but I've seen the same kids for years, watching them grow, and I've watched what happened to them as they grow WITH THIS MUSIC and it almost frightens me.
Every other word is 4-letters.
Talking about murdering family, friends, etc.
(And don't get me started on the actual music videos...I've seen R movies that were less graphic. Dancing poles and clothes covering less than the handkerchef I carry in my pocket.)
That is not the "meaning and truth" I see.
Last thing: I own 1 cassette, it came from a box of cereal, that has rap on it. A single of Kid and Play's Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody.

on a side note I always found it funny how kids listen to that kid of music. they don't really know what it means they jsut think its cool.

"But everybody just feels like they can relate
I guess words are a motherfucker
They can be great
Or they can degrate, or even worse
They can teach hate"
now tell me what kind of meg does that send. is it telling kids to go and do bad shit OR is it tell kids to pay attention to what they are listening to.

Plus, that's one song. What about the songs about taking pills; about killing people? Rap is full of that, and even if Emenim has a few supposedly positive songs, it doesn't change that most of the genre is full of crap. Not only that, but it is not just the message but the general beat of rap that grates on me for some reason.
It is partially a matter of morality to me, but also one of simple personal taste.

if its one of personally taste i cant argue with you but if it is about morality...
lets just agree to disagree.
really this wouldn't even be an issue in my mind if it wasnt for ingornant statements like " Retards Attemping Poetry" i dont go and make fun of the type of music you guys listen to so you shouldn't do it with music i like.
