Ummm.....uhhhh......thanks?!?!
Didn't really need the sarcasm...but whatever. It's your world, dude. You're entitled to think whatever you like...hope you at least enjoyed the contrasting opinion I had. Have a good one!
I'm gonna go crawl back under the music from which I came.....
I don't think you guys ARE getting it...buy discrediting an entire genre based soley on the negative aspects of that genre you are showing how truley ignorant you are. Rock and Roll was considered taboo in the 50's and 60's. Jazz used to be taboo as well. Heck, many classical composers were concidered womanizers and all around bad people. You see where I'm going? You cannot simply put down an enitre musical genre based only on the bad things. There are a lot of good things in rap that don't get talked about...i.e. politics, racisim, how money isn't all that...ect.
Perhaps someday if I acquire the intellect of a pre-25-year-old, an angry thug, or a sensitive coastal state resident / college professor I'll "get it".

Okay I'll give you that I'm not quite 25 yet (I'm 19)...but I'm not an angry thug (or a thug at that, I also have a 156 i.q.) I just think that putting down rap and those who enjoy it is ignorant...you're never too old to expand your horizons

Pains me to say this, but the act of hating an opinion is one of the stupidest, most a-hole-ish things I ever see people do.
I'm sure we all know better, but come on, lay off already.
