Why is rap such TERRIBLE music? Does it kill braincells?

Answer 1

All you need is a beat and some guy with a microphone mumbling in an obscure language. Bonus points for saying the words "b*tches"," 'ho'es ", "po-lice" and "cristal" in English.
And yes, many brain cells get massacred in the process.

Answer 2

Why is rock such terrible music? Its just people screaming about their feelings. Why is country such terrible music? Its just honkeys singing about their horses. See? Its all how you see it, its just your own opinion.Besides, with the way music is nowadays, any kind could kill braincells.

Answer 3

Rap doesn't take as much talent as other genres of music to play. You just need a guy swearing every other word about raping prostitutes, doing drugs, and shooting cops. Overall, it is really boring. It puts people to sleep really quickly. There is nothing exciting about it. It lowers language skills, and more than likely, kills braincells.

Answer 4

Wow I think if you have to call it rap you must really not like it. Most people call it hip-hop. I don't think its terrible at all, like a lot of music genres there can be bad rap music made and listened to. I think you need to dig deeper into hip-hop music and find artists like The Common and Atmosphere. I think you may not like popular hip-hop which can be over played on the radio making it "terrible" to you. As for brain cells, I doubt it very much.

Answer 5

Rap isnt terrible music, it's great and you know it is. It's a form of expression like any other kind of music. So just because YOU dont understand or like it doesn't mean that its terrible. You have a right to your opinion and have the right to shut you down if necessary.

Answer 6

Not all rap is terrible. I just do not like rap that has lots of senseless cussing, degradation of women, sex, drugs and violence. Some rap songs are actually good. It used to be better in the eighties and nowadays it gets harder to find good rappers who have a meaningful message. It is true that most of them talk fast but if you hate rap just because you can't catch what they are saying then you have a really SLOW brain. Do not generalize rap as crap, because not ALL of it is. I can say country is s-h-i-t but it is not true because I am sure there are some country songs I might like. There's also some heavy metal bands that all they do is yell and cuss and have no real meaning in their songs, but not ALL heavy metal is like that. In every genre there are performers that have no real talent yet they become successful because many people seem to like vulgar crap. Not all people who like rap, are vulgar people. Not all people who like rap, like vulgar rap songs. No...it does not kill brain cells. Ignorance like yours kills brain cells.

Answer 7

Because RAP promotes self egotism. It promotes sexual attire as well as sex, drugs, violence, stupidity and the decay of intelligence. Take that song from the black eyed peas. "Everyone get stupid" from "Lets get it started in here". So what? You want me to get stupid? For what reasons? In the mid 90s there was the whole pseudo east and west side wars with TuPac and Biggie. Irrelevant idiocy perfectly formed to get your mind off important things. The media is a medium yes like a magical medium that promotes the decay of every good thing in our minds in order for us to consume their products, think their ways, and they do it everyday!!! EVERY SINGLE DAY! What are you gonna do to wake up? Seriously? This is the matrix! Believe it or not...

Answer 8

Rap isn't all that bad. it just depends of who makes it. I will admit that Gangsta rap (50 Cent, Ying Yang Twins, etc) isn't my forte, but Jean Wyclef, Missy Elliot, Common, Kanye West, John Legend, etc is very good. Just give it a try. Not all rap is about drugs, money, h*es, and b*tches.

Answer 9

Rap isnt so bad...... No music cant kill braincells

Answer 10

I do not consider rap music. It is a concoxtion of bass and someone yelling at a mic with the brains of a neanderthal...
