Default What Sucks About This Genre: Hip-Hop Edition



Yo mother****er! You think this music sucks? **** you, man! Imma find out where you live and **** your bitch up while you watch, then imma pop a cap in yo ass! How you like that, nigga?

Yeah, if there's one thing that has always prevented me from really listening to hip-hop it's been the use of expletives and violence, surely the highest quota in any genre? Often very misogynistic, usually boastful, and sometimes, really, not very good. Obviously, there's a whole world of music within the genre, with examples ranging from the excellent to the dire, but as a genre, though I've found some artists I like, it's not one I'm that eager to explore.

Come at me bro.
But leave yo gun back in yo crib, you feel me?

Trollheart thinks that 90% of hiphop is about guns/women/violence but in reality it's only like 20%.

It's kind of obnoxious and comes off as implicitly racist, but whatever he's old and white and gonna die within a decade along with the rest of the old white people that feel similarly

It's true of lots of genres that you gotta dig a bit to find most of the good stuff, but with hip hop, virtually anything you will have ever heard of if you don't do some heavy digging will have sucked major donkey balls*. It's not just mainstream hip hop that sucks, it's also the layer just after that.

Then you go deep enough and something listenable starts to appear.

Still mostly meh.



*: Don't say "but what about Eminem? He was very popular and you must have heard of him?" ... My point exactly.

I'm in the middle too. I like a lot of eighties and early nineties hip-hop aka rap. It gets a bit too violent and misogynistic for me after that. I really prefer the more politically charged rap of Public Enemy and similar bands than say, Snopp Doggy whatever his name is these days. Do you know he's now a game show host by the way?
