Answer 2

Even though by your own admission the question is rhetorical I will answer it anyway. Rap is not the only music worth listening to. In a rappers frame of mind it would be like f**king the same chick your whole life(do you really want that?). Opening your mind to other forms of music can help you gain a better understanding of the other people you may come in contact with in life(those other people... you know the ones who don't listen to rap). Many rap songs sample and use other non-rap songs; obviously the creators were listening to something beside rap and maybe you should follow suit. If all that matters in your life is hos, thugs, and scrilla then rap is all you will ever need.

Answer 3

Rap is great, but to say it's the ONLY music worth listening to is a DUMB statement. Limiting yourself to only one type of music tells me that you are not a true fan of the art itself. Think about it, rap didn't just show up out of nowhere. First there was blues, and then R & B, and rap sort of emerged from the underground. I'm sure any rapper would tell you they listen to that "rock ****" and respect it in its own right. The proof is there, that "rock ****" is what many rappers sample and come up with a whole new song. Don't be so single-minded, music is music. If it's got a good beat and a catchy hook then it's a good song. Listening to JUST rap would be overlooking a ton of great music.

Answer 4

How do you expect a poll if you say "if you dont listen to rap dont reply?"

You can't understand rock? Really? It's a whole lot easier to understand than rap.

"redneck and astrochick ............ just remember i know what you look like (if that your real pic)" - What's that supposed to mean? Am I supposed to be scared? Ooo, you've got me shaking!! Yeah, I'm really scared of some guy on Yahoo! Answers!

Answer 5

Those people who support the narrow view that one music form is better than the other by saying things like "retards attempting poetry" and "rap will die" lack a fundamental understanding of music as a whole and the role it plays in society.

As one critic put it "hip hop is a revolution of sound - not music" and as a sound platform it stands hand in hand with the post-punk decontructionist experimental period of 1978 - 1984.

Any music or art form does not exist in a vacuum. Hip Hop came about as a fusion of ideas taken from various strands of music and art, much in the same way rock and roll came about and much in the same way every other music or art form has come about.

Music and art almost always build on a template produced by a previous generation, either as backlash against it or as a continuation of it. Hip Hop has been around since as far back as the early 70's and based on your question music forms like the Oi! and hardcore movements should also not exist. So too music movements like the minimalist and experimental artists of the late 60's to 70's.

We all fight about music. We argue, discuss, rant and definitely rage. We love our music. Discussions from different points of view have led to (sometimes anyway), new genres springing up and coming to the fore. But, when healthy music discussion turns to personal attack there is a problem.

Quarreling means trying to show that the other person is in the wrong. Moreover, there would be no sense in trying to do that unless you and that person had some sort of agreement as to what Right and Wrong music forms are. This means appealing to some kind of standard of behavior, which you expect the other person to know about.

Blind faith and following of an idea, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, always leads the practitioner of the aforementioned into believing it is a universal truth. In some cases, it is just that, a universal truth but, in other cases, it is not a truth but an opinion and, opinions will differ from person to person. Taste and opinion are things, which change all the time as we as human beings have constant changes in taste across the board – throughout our lives.

Now hating a different genre of music is common practice amongst us all. I understand this, after all, there are quite a few genres floating around which I am not fond of at all. I don’t think this is behaviour we should be practicing unless the said person has done something personal and morally reprehensible to you – like sleeping with your girlfriend or killing your dog. But if we practice this behaviour merely because someone does something artistically different from you and your tastes it doesn’t make sense and goes against the foundation of freedom the artistic music movement was initially based upon. Now some of you might argue that you do so for the love of this movement – a concept I very well understand but some of you do so merely to succor your ego. If you are doing so for the former reason, it is understandable and even acceptable to a point but, unfortunately, not many of us can separate our egos from the equation. That is how someone who plays music we do not like all of a sudden becomes hated – as if the music he plays is somehow a description of his character and that the said person is somehow devoid of integrity.

You might not like the music someone plays – fair point, we all have different tastes. However, because someone plays music you don’t like does that make him a bad person? After all, the music spectrum is made up of numerous genres (with more being invented along the way) - not just one. A considerable danger to the wellbeing of the arts and music movement is when people take up their own personal opinions regarding genres and set it up as a thing/genre everybody ought to follow at all costs and that everything that differs from what they like is therefore wrong purely because it does not conform to what they like.

This is not mathematics – there is no right or wrong, only varying opinions. Anything of an artistic nature has never been subjected to the rules and rigors of exact science purely because, in most cases, it’s a very personal thing and springs from the artist’s own experiences and influences and interpretation thereof – things which will always differ from person to person. No one’s influences will always be identical to another’s. If there were exacting unbending rules and regulations laid down in the fabric of the universe governing “right” and “wrong” forms of music that stated these are the only forms of music allowed to exist then you would have an excuse for saying someone is playing the wrong music but, this is not so.

Answer 6

I aree with your final element. specially circumstances i will basically pay attention to a ton of MF DOOM or Chicago adult males and specially circumstances I basically pay attention to 3 6 Mafia for 6 weeks right this moment. this is a similar with movies. i will observe 30 westerns in a row or a gaggle of gangster movies.

Rappers like ok-Rino and Immortal technique try too complicated to appear like they have some thing to declare while they actually do no longer. i could somewhat pay attention project Pat spit approximately drugs because of the fact he has quotable strains.

I like rap and hip hop music. But that's one genre I listen to. True music lovers can appreciate more than one kind of music... You listen to blues, real RnB, soul, rock, gospel? Rap music has borrowed from all those genres. So there.
