Is rap my favorite type of music? No. I don't think the genre sucks, though. There's good and bad examples in every genre; rap is no different.

I don't listen to any rap, never have, likely never will. I gave it a fair shot, many varieties, artists, levels of popularity, etc. It just never appeals to me. I have a large appreciation for people who can play instruments well and think it takes a lot more talent than singing into a beat machine. I also just flat out don't like it.

I don't like country in the slightest either if that helps at all. Just answering the question, i'm sure a ton of people here hate 80's punk rock also and it's my music of choice.

The problem is that most edgelords say stuff like "hurr they cant play instruments" or "they dont make their own beats its not music"

when, even though they are wrong they try to stick to that. It wouldnt be such a big deal if they just said "i dont really like rap it doesnt appeal to me" no one would even care

What's even funnier is that people like Pharrell and Kanye are certified orchestra conductors, which is about as classy as it gets for music.

Hell some artists like Anderson Paak and J. Cole are a one man band in terms of playing instruments/rapping

But if you are referring to my post and reply, where I literally said it doesn't appeal to me and I flat out don't enjoy it.. you are being unfair classifying me as an "edgelord" for having an opinion.

My point being, and fact in this debate, there are more instruments in rock/punk over rap. There is zero debate in that. I never said "No rapper ever can play an instrument ever" but I am stating that it is hardly as common as in other kinds of music.

Show me a guy that raps like Tupac and can shred solos like Slash and i'll buy his fucking tee shirt.

There arent many guitarist that can shred like Slash, and i bet slash cant conduct an orchestra like DJ Quik.

If you dont like rap thats fine, it doesnt bother me. Its stupid claims like "they all cant play instruments" thats dumb.

Its like if someone who didnt like metal said its just screaming into a mic. Its not and we both know that

Try listening to Hit Em Up by Tupac without rolling your eyes or shaking your head.

Rap is almost up there with religion for how ridiculous it is. When someone jokingly acts like a religious fanatic, it's hard to tell. When someone makes up a rap that's intended to mock the genre, can't even tell.

I can accept people disliking rap if they have (hopefully) listened to a decent amount of it. People who say bullshit like this, however, don't deserve to have their opinion taken seriously.
