I think you're way uptight about music.
In order to label yourself a "hip hop hater" or to claim you hate an entire genre of music, you must have listened to alot of it.
Hating an entire genre?
I don't believe it's possible.
Everyone says little things like "Oh, I hate country." "Oh, I hate rap."
But have they listened to every single song by every single artist's album in every single decade?
Negative.

Plus, even if you DID listen to every hip hop song, by all of the artists in all of the decades;
If you say you "hate it" so much, why bother wasting your time listening to all of it?

word most of them are underground or old skool. you wont find a lot on radio, its the same old thing like the 'hip hop hater' says. that (radio) is what so called 'hip hop haters' look to, and its quite pathetic to see the same thing over and over and OVER again on radio. the fact that some rappers are trying to be someone else, and trying to rap about something that theyre not is just sad. ill check that song out though.

by your criteria, no one would ever be able to love or hate any musical genre. It is clearly impossible to ever listen to every single artist in the world that fit into any genre of music, so why would anyone be able to hate music? By that, we could say no one would ever be able to love music unless they had done the same. But surely we all know that music is constantly evolving and creating more and more as it grows, making it impossible to listen to it all. By this we could also apply it to musical artists. What you're saying is that we could only love or hate an artist if we had listened to every single song they had ever created, which is also fairly impossible to do since most music would be unreleased. Likewise would apply to hating an artist, and i think you said it yourself, when you stated, "Plus, even if you DID listen to every hip hop song, by all of the artists in all of the decades;
If you say you "hate it" so much, why bother wasting your time listening to all of it?" So what i'm saying is that I believe your criteria for hating or loving a band/genre are not sufficient.
