Are rap songs only limited to bitches, fucking, ass, twerk, booty, niggas, breasts, drugs, guns? Literally that's all I hear when it comes to rap. Can't anyone write anything that makes some sense? At least tell some story with emotions rather than bs that we keep hearing.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Omg I'm back in 1986.

 

[Stabby McSter]

Omg I'm back in 1986.

and pretty much any other year after 1986

 

[Courage]

So you're just gonna dismiss an entire genre based on popular songs you heard. You do know how ignorant you sound, right? I guess all heavy metal is about satan right?

 

[Winter John]

You might want to try broadening your horizons before writing off an entire genre

 

[Ravijn]

Rap has gone the way of hair metal back in the day.

So you're asking us what to do about your decision to listen only to rap that you don't like?

Have you thought this topic through?

 

[Fry]

Stop listening to 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne and go listen to some Kendrick Lamar or Kanye.

 

[Abounder]

Rap has gone the way of hair metal back in the day.

Or country and western

 

[cacophony]

let Macklemore into your life

OMG I'm back in 1987.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

I bet the only songs you like are by nerdcore artists.

 

[PhoenixDark]

How about you stop listening to the radio and find some variety, then come back and answer your own question bro.

 

[Zoned]

I am mainly talking about the mainstream songs.

 

[Pathos]

let Macklemore into your life

Macklemore is life

 

[dripdripsplash]

Yeaaaah OP you are so right. That's why the only thing I listen to is immortal technique and Tupac.

Choose new radio stations, expand yourself on Spotify.

See: "Why are games all Call of Duty?" and "Why is anime all moe shit?"

No, but really, nothing. All genres have their weaker artists. There's good stuff out there, you just have to look.

 

[rottingcore]

Eminem, the worlds most famous rapper - raps about his life and how hard it was growing up with a drug addicted mother. Point disproven.

 

[Angelus Errare]

This thread will get fun shortly.

Iggy and Mackelmore are bringing back that real hip hop bro. G-Easy is the Elvis Presley of Hip Hop!

 

[D4Danger]

You should listen to macklemore. He's first mainstream rapper in years to actually have something to say.

And it's fucking good.

 

[Blackstarhat]

[Makai]

Try College Dropout

Rap is as diverse as any other genre... you're a google search away of examples of rap-artists doing other things than the things you mention.

And hating on gays. See Criminal.

"Let me make a post bitching about something i know nothing about, that will be great!"

 

[theWB27]

I stopped listening to rap a long time ago and still know this is patently false. What happened to gaining knowledge of a subject before crapping over the entirety of it?

 

[Kraftwerk]

I agree with you OP.

I hate when I am just relaxing on my lawn, and I see these rap cars roll by my house playing the rap music you mentioned.

 

[LosDaddie]

Terrestrial radio is garbage....headache-inducing shit. 90% of rap on there isn't worth listening to.

 

[Rembrandt]

lmao, hip-hop is killing it right now. How haven't you heard of Kendrick Lamar? Yeezus? Isaiah Rashad? Big KRIT? Chance the Rapper? Childish Gambino? J. Cole? Vince Staples? Shit, man, even Mac Miller dropped a great CD.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

hahahaha holy shit

 

[lednerg]

I've heard people describe hip-hop as being modern day minstrel shows. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. It's complicated.

 

[GavinGT]

This explains what you're witnessing:

[The God]

You'd know that this isn't the case if you gave the genre an actual chance, op.

 

[Shyakugaun]

YMCMB, the beginning of the end...

 

[Dereck]

lol. wow, we back in the 80's? hiphop not "real"music and all that?

I mean listen to this. He cusses a lot. Too fragile for my white soul.

 

[Rembrandt]

fuck it, I'm plugging myself, too:
https://soundcloud.com/deezle317/bad-dream

No rap about drugs, hoes, twerking, or anything of that. i do b spittin dat flame though.

Spoiler

80% of my songs are kinda about that, though

 

[Blackstarhat]

And hating on gays. See Criminal.

he uses the word fag so much on The Marshall Mathers LP. Its cringe worthy.

 

[CloudWolf]

I strongly advise you go listen to some Kendrick Lamar albums

Naw. How do you even make a thread like this? Have you listened to rap at all? C'mon dude.

 

[Silky]

Lil B doesn't rap about that you fucking liar


This is a stupid thread making a stupid generalization on a specific genre because your ignorant perspective which was crafted by the only venue you hear the music is so limited in scope.

Go download Run the Jewels.

 

[Makai]

Food and Liquor might be a better recommendation, actually.

 

[ponpo]

Just listen to old Diplomats albums.

 

[MoodyFog]

A rap thread, that's that shit I don't like, nah

Huh? Eminem has no issues with gay people. He's really close friends with Elton John. He has gone on record saying that e uses the term "faggot" and "gay" as a way to offend people, and not to actually imply that he cares about any mans sexual orientation.

Also,
Being homophobic doesn't make you a criminal. Eminem has also gone on record saying that he puts on a criminal persona to appease the rap audience he draws.

 

[BGBW]

You mean rap wasn't how they thought it would be in the year 2000?

 

[Blackstarhat]

listen to kendrick lamars album Good kid madd city the whole album tells a story. best rap album of the decade.
