Rap is a genre of music which is one of the most hated types of music besides ICP(who suck balls) that is one of the most life expressing forms of music.The wor rap comes from the acronym "Rhythm and Poetry".rap is mostly hated by racist whiteboy rockers who them selves dont know what their favorite artists are saying without looking at the lyrics cuz all it is, is AAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!! but im not hatin i like the music but i dont take the time to look at the lyrics which i shouldnt have to but i listen to the guitar and drums of it.And most of the people that hate rap dont even take the time to learn about it before they talk shit.I love rap which i call hip-hop but mtv is just as racist as most of you haters and just play music that most the public will like truthfully tell me how many of your favorite songs do they play you can probly count them with NIETHER of your hands right?? before you say its cRAP you have to give it a chance and in my examples ill give some artists that most people might like and i mean might but they dont rap about guns drugs hoes weed coke and if they do then its not to act like its cool but more of lettin you know what theyve seen in their life which is the most real type of music which is about experiences theyve been through(not creativity which is a part of it)or what theyve seen which most of you that talk shit havent been through or seen so you cant relate to thats why you dont like it but i guarentee there is a rapper/hip-hop artist that any one of you can relate to.RAP is the form of music but hip-hop is a culture in which not only Blacks live but whites that were raised around e.g.Eminem but most that talk shit about it know nothing about it cuz they were raised in the suburbs and dont know what the real world is like and havent led a hard life and try to slit their wrists cuz they got grounded or some shit or werent payed attention to but thats everyone just people like me that were raised with discipline know you cant judge a book by its cover(which is MTV)but by its pages which you got to go underground for in rap cuz 50 Cent sucks dick yeah he can make words ryhme but what he talks about is not what hes been through and when you listen not listen but can actually HEAR what the artists is talking about then you know they are real and not frontin and most REAL artists arent on MTV or any channel cuz they play gay shit that the rich people that own the station Think thats what people want to hear or can dance to(and just to add headbanging, moshing, and shadow boxing is gayer then will and grace)but they dont listen to it themselves so they are just retarded and ive never liked rockers but then i moved to a place where that majority of the population and learned they are just like me when you TALK to them and give them a chance which most of you out there that "hate" rap cant do cuz your scared of change or "different" which even if its music or skin color or the clothes they wear or hold themselves up either way you racist(or a discriminator) and need to learn a fuckin lesson.No im not preachin but i saw what some people wrote( and as a black male that chose the wrong path(drugs and hoes) instead of school and women i do regret it cuz now im 20 and doin nothin) but i have friends that are white listen to rock even country but if they say they like a song ill LISTEN to the song seriously and then judge it but everytime its not a song ive heard on MTV so if you like music in general give a couple rap artists a chance and you might find one that you like and if not then keep your stupid fuckin comments to yourself cuz if you were talking to me(which i bet a million that you wouldnt) not just cuz im black or wear baggy clothes or youd think im gangster but just cuz you would be scared of confrontation or an argument which is guarenteed if you say something about rap in front of anyone that listens to it.but anyway all you haters can suck a big one cuz you cant fade us

Talib Kweli,Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch,Atmosphere(who happens to be white), Living Legends, Common, binary star, immortal technique, or 2pac(which yeah he is gangsta rap but one of the most poetic people to ever walk this earth take a look at his book and yes a poetry book called "A Rose That Grew From Concrete"

Rap is what the majority of the public just has to bag on because they just took a gander at MTV and listened to Lil Wayne's new song(s). Look, if you think rap is crap, you are thinking this because your ass just got off the MTV channel. Rap is NOT Lil Wayne. Rap is NOT Soulja Boy. Rap is NOT Plies. Rap is NOT Rick Ross (for the loss). Rap is Tupac. Rap is Biggie. Rap is Eminem. Rap is Big L. Rap is Nas. Rap is Immortal Technique. But of course, none of you ignorant fucks probably know who these guys are or heard a single verse from them right?

Rap is the art of using your voice as a rhythmic instrument instead of a melodic instrument.

It is looked down upon, especially by the rock and metal community, because it "doesn't require instruments" or "it's all talk and no play". They say "anyone can write something that rhymes over a shitty bass beat easy".

Rap is not that easy.

If you ever took the fucking time to put down the guitar and get to know some REAL Emcees, you would know rap requires 50x more lyrical talent and flow and purpose than Soulja Shit or Lil Wayne.

Rap requires a pen, some paper, and a mind of a man/woman that wants to tell a story to the world. One that wants to tell it how it is to him or her.

It has NOTHING to do with the gangsters. It has NOTHING to do with money. It has NOTHING to do with hoes.

It's all what comes to mind when you want to tell people something. What do you want to show?

Who said rap HAS to be about bling and stacks of green? Who said rap HAS to be about bein' da BOSS?
Who said rap HAS to be about getting shot?
Who said rap HAS to be about the hood?
Who said rap HAS to have gangs in it?

RAP IS A MUSIC GENRE TOO. IT SHOULD DESERVE AS MUCH PRAISE AS ROCK, METAL, COUNTRY, OPHREA, BLUES, SOUL, HIP HOP, AND EVEN DEATH METAL!!!!

Tupac
Biggie
Eminem
Nas
Big L
Immortal Technique
T.I. (yes)

Not Rap:

Lil Wayne
Soulja Shit
Plies
DJ Fucking Khaled
Rick Ross (for the loss)
Drake
Kanye West (not anymore)

The stuff that you know that sucks, because 90% of urban definitions define it by "it doesn't suck" or "you don't know what real rap is!"

*rap fan listening to 50 cent*
rock fan: Hey dude, that shit sucks balls!
rap fan: No it doesn't! You never listened to real rap! Just because 99% of rappers suck, doesn't mean it sucks!
