more or less this
Yas Forums hates rap not because they think it's shitty but because they actually hate black people
both
Are you retarded? Yas Forums blindly worships any rap regardless of how shitty it is. And rap is a pretty shit genre overall. How can anyone find it appealing to listen to amateur potery over copy pasted beats. This is coming from someone who loves artists like Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix and Duke Ellington
I don't really think the genres cater themselves to albums so I'll just list artists I like
George Clinton
Eddie Hazel
Bootsy Collins
James Brown
Sam Cooke
Sam and Dave
Isaac Hayes
Roy Ayers
Bobby Womack
The Meters
The Spinners
MJ
Giorgio Moroder
The Emotions
You happy faggot?
Yas Forums is one of the most leftshit boards on this site and isn't racist. theyre definitely intellectually bigoted like most of the far left, but they don't hate black people.
that said, i think rap is great, i just think most conscious rap is retarded
>can appreciate guitar, drums and bass but cant appreciate rap with a multilayered high/low melody
No I can appreciate some rap music, but only the rap music that uses or samples real instrumentations, or maybe rap that uses electronics, but it's "spooky" or "dark" sounding, I kind've like that, but I won't ever go out of my way to listen to it on my own. I absolutely hate mainstream rap music
It's both. It's shit because it's made by them, and they themselves would still be shit for a plethora of other reasons if they hadn't created rap anyway.
most rap music you know was mainstream at some point
it's just that 2010s rap was garbage
I'm not a huge fan of rap. I'm willing to try anything recommended to me by friends, but I'm not gonna act like I can relate to trying to be a "gangsta" or grow up in the ghetto or around gang life. That's not something I feel any pleasure listening to. However, if there is experimental hip hop or just good lyrics telling a deep story (How Much A Dollar Cost by Kendrick is a good example), then I usually like it. Otherwise, it's usually drunk party music played by my fellow white suburbanites.
