I don't HATE any kind of music. BUT, I personally have absolutely no use for rap. When it first started hitting the mainstream it was sort of interesting, but most of the originals are either dead or retired. Now it's just plain silly listening to some punk trying to convince everyone how tough they are. I guess I should qualify that statement --- I'm talking about the so-called "gangsta rap" which is pure bullshit and totally lacks ANY of the attributes that by definition make something "music" (ie, melody, key, actual ability to play actual instrument instead of stealing others work via sampling, etc.). Plus ANYONE who actually is in a gang is a world-class pussy to start with! Grow a pair and stand on your own. I've never seen a gangbanger who wasn't a total puss unless he was with a group of his fellow morons. By themselves they are totally pathetic --- in a group they make for nice target practice (I LOVE multiple moving targets!!!). I'm not sure how I got on that tangent, but oh well. Time to reload the bong and listen to some REAL music that has actual musicians performing (what a novel concept!!).
But, if you like rap, thats cool. Someone has to cook the french fries!!!!!
