sorry for get so worked up earlier but people who say rap is terrible music isnt seeing the whole picture. my dad has a library of 80,000 songs so i try to listen to every kind of music and finds parts of every genre i like. there is a lot of great rap that isnt about selling rocks, money, and bitches. this type of music has allowed many people to artiscally portray their life and everyday struggles. i believe every generation has a certain popular music scene and rap seems to be the one for this generation. Im not saying that its a great thing because like many of you haters i had made the same argument that most popular teaches terrible lessons (not that you can make the argument that rock preached much better morals). yet at the same time some of the music that i can relate to most is rap. Turn of your radios and look into artists other than 50, gucci mane, and jezzy although i still believe they are artists in their own right. rap has also spawned many other artists who remix songs i recommend you check out the ratatat remixes it makes me like jeezy (the memphis bleek song is the sickest).here are some examples that i have found most people agree are just plain good music.
