why do people listen to nasty rap music?

Question

i mean i'll be listening to the radio,and the sudden nasty rap music will come on,with them talking about nothing sexual crap,its nasty!

Answer 1

cuz they like the beat of the songs, but the lyrics are really corruptive

Answer 2

Obviously you don't understand the Hip Hop culture. I'll admit that many of the songs today are commercialized into being all about cars, girls, etc.. Blame that on the record labels themselve, not the artists. The record label have most of the control over what is produced, marketed and played on the airwaves.

Hip Hop has been around for along time and has done a lot to raise awareness on a variety of issues that relate to the community. Some of the lyrics can be uplifting and inspiring. Others are not, but that is how life is as well. You wouldn't fault a poet like Langston Hughes for talking about racisim, you wouldn't fault a politician for making war, yet everyone blames the rap artist for bringing up these exact same issues.

Try listening to some Common, Most Def, Tupac, Outkast, Kanye or any other artist with something to say.

Answer 3

Because they want too. There was a time when people would say that about every kind of music. From rap to hip hop to rock to punk and so on and so on. The question should be why do people hate what they don't understand.

Answer 4

You just don't hear the right songs. I used to feel that way but my daughter convinced me to give it a chance. I now like some rap. Try "Runaway Girl" by Ludacris featuring Mary J Blige. It's really cool. And I turn off the songs I don't like no matter what the music genre is. You have that power!

Answer 5

Sexual rap lyrics are for sad men. I listen to hip hop and have a vast collection, no sex though.

Answer 6

I agree. Some rap music is disgusting.....

And I'm ashame of the women that appear in them.

Answer 7

That's what I'd like to know. How can they listen to that crap? I'm a rocker at heart. Always have been, always will be. It's as simple as that. I despise Rap, ans everything it stands for.

Answer 8

Apparently less people are, thank goodness. Just read an article on Foxnews.com that said rap album sales are down 20%. I guess people are finally sick of the negativity spewed on those songs.

Answer 9

Why do you dye your hair nasty pink?

Sometimes people like what you do not. What difference does it make in your life?

Answer 10

I wondered this myself....add to it the fact there is very little if any actual musicianship involved in rap...I fail to see it's appeal
