why do you hate it? how bad do you hate it? are you afraid that you might one day give rap a chance and like it? or will your hatred stand the test of time?

Listening to men shouting. whoop! Yeah! and uh-hu! is a bit random for me. The abuse they give women is not good at all – and neither is the chase for material wealth.
They talk about oppression, yet apply the same oppression to women – they have no integrity.
Most of the people that listen to it don’t have the income to purchase these things, and an unfortunate few feel obliged to steel it. Those Rap starts are fully pledged capitalists – that’s why I don’t like them on a personal level. Some are worst then some super rich white men.
Not sure I’m a huge fan of rap music (or hip-hop, whatever the difference is).
But i do like a bit of Kanye West - he's very good.
Into some UK Grime, like Dizzie Rascal and Plan B. They talk about like and how kids shouldn't want to go through what they have seen. – they all have integrity.
Dizzies attack on stupid little girls with VD and 2 children at 17 yrs old is both funny and a stern warning.
Rap music has the potential – if dominated by the wrong role models – to be the biggest oppressor of our youth (all colours will be effected).

The main reason I don't like rap is that you can't, on casual contact, make out all the words, but your subconscious nonetheless picks them up. So you get the emotional (the "neurolinguistic," in some sense) impact even if you do not have a handle on the words sufficient to analyze what was said.
As you who like rap probably know, a lot of it is angry and hostile. I've heard enough to detect that. So here's a car with its stereo on too loud (or a guy carrying a too-loud boom box) sounding out hostility you cannot consciously comprehend sufficiently to use intellectual arguments against it. You just react with hostility for hostility. Since there is clearly a racial element, in that most all rappers are black, this is not a healthy situation.

why do i hate rap, well for one it seems like a bunch of grown men crying over why they cant seem to catch a break. i compare rap to country so i think the same about country. I also see no real musical talent to rap i mean on my computer i could make the beat, then make up some words just throw "MF" in front of it and finally get a black guys pic and i could be a rap star to day. i cant see myself ever liking rap unless they clean up the words the tone the musical instruments so basic make rap non rap so yes the test of time

Well, see, it goes like this. I used to listen to rap when I was in my early teens (growing up in Miami, it's all we had. I didn't even know other music existed, except maybe salsa.) Then I discovered music of superior complexity, originality, creativity and meaning. Music that affected me more deeply, which was more skillfully constructed with superior musical talent. Then I started noticing that rap was mostly repetitive, elementary, and low-end, that I could write better instrumentation in my sleep, and that the lyrics, even the so-called "deep" ones, were pure drivel, just a dumb guy trying to sound smart by using big words for simple concepts that a grade-schooler could have thought up, or foaming at the mouth about Bentleys and platinum and hoes in a club. They sound like a broken record. I started getting sick of it really fast and, within a year or two, I couldn't stand a single rap song anymore; it grated on my last nerve. I felt really silly for having listened to that stuff for so long, and I gave away all my rap CDs.

Rap is crude. It demeans women. It advocates violence towards women and towards the police. It makes taking or selling drugs sound like a good thing. All in all not the message young people need to hear. And rap videos are very nearly pornographic.

I don't care for most rap because I cannot identify with it. The things they rap about have nothing to do with my thoughts or emotions. There are very few exceptions and old school Busta Rhymes is one of them for me simply because he had original style and was slightly more positive than most.

I gave it a chance when I was younger, but listening to it now and paying closer attention to the lyrics, I know it's not for me. It's just so repetitive and doesn't seem to have any substance. I can't listen to music like that.

To me, music creates a vibe. Rap creates an unfriendly vibe, one I do not care to experience. But it is OK to dance on when I am drunk.

Because to me it is a form of music without the music, and the words are Carribean poetry without the poetry.
