I'm not a big fan of 50 cent or Soulja Boy. Their raps have absolutely no meaning. The only "hardcore" rapper I listen to is Lil' Wayne because the words he uses are just incredible. He may be rapping about nonsense, but he does it with some flare.
 
I listen to hip-hop from the 90's. Tone Loc, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Boys 2 Men...all the early ones most of you whippersnappers probably never heard of. xP

As for rap, the only song from that genre I can stand is the great mix of rock/rap "Walk This Way" by Run D.M.C. and Aerosmith.
 
Three titles:

Eminem
Fort Minor
Styles Of Beyond

Other than that, I despise rap/hip hop.
 
I am a big Hip-Hop fan I also like R&B, Grime, Gangsta Rap, D&B.

Other Genres I listen to are:
Rock
Dance
Trance
A bit of Pop

But Genres I detest are:
Cheesy Pop
One certain Emo band MCR
 
on my ipod i got white stripes,my chemical romance,green day,the prodigy and a lot of eminem.
mostly my chem though!;)

I will happily listen to most music. Im a metal head at heart, but my favorite album everrrr is timbaland, Im off to a rave on friday (Raaaaaave :P) and saw paramore last week. I listen to trance before i go to sleep and wake up to indie music.
But play me gangsta rap, speed garage or westlife and i will hunt you down and murder you :)
 
Well sweeties...

Yeah, I listen to rap all the time. Here's who I listen to:

Tupac
Eminem
Pimp C
Big Moe
Trae
Fat Pat
Z-Ro
Hawk
Lil' Keke
Lil Flip
Lil Wayne
T.I.
Snoop Dogg
Busta Ryhmes
Paul Wall
Jay Z

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Also, not to start a flame war or anything but Soulja Boy's boy is not anyway considered "rap" in my honest opinion. He can't rap, all he got is fan girls and hype going for him.
 
:O don't be dissing soulja boy!
Saying that he's tried to get into the big time and has ended up creating the new macarana :P
But still, travis barkwer remix is the best of both worlds, rock and rap
Which brings me nicely onto linkin park, the best rappers everrrrrr
 
i personally dont like rap/hip hop, but i dont hate it either. I just dont get why everyone in my school is friggen BRAINWASHED by the music and culture and stuff.

I like to listen to:
Punk
Rock
Progressive Rock
a little bit of metal

anything else bores the mess out of me.
 
I don't like rap much. I'm more of a rock and electronica fan myself, but I do occasionally enjoy some kinds of hip-hop (like Gym Class Heroes).
 
I dont really hate or love any kind of music because I heard good and bad songs from all genres. So I like some rap songs like
1.breathe,stretch, shake (this song is awsome)
2.stunitn like my daddy
3.what you know
4 cant forget about POKErap
theres alot more i just cant think of right now
,but
COME SAIL AWAY IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!
 
I cannot stand rap for more than a minute. Agh! That soulja boy dump is horrible... ;___;
Though, that's just my opinion. >.>

I listen to a lot of trance, electronica, techno, house, rock, heavy metal, indie, and power pop.

I'm only able to fall asleep to trance music :) heh.
 
One thing I love about rap, though, is the concept of "Haters". Basically, if someone doesn't like you, or says something bad about you, they're a hater. And if they're a hater, you can just ignore them or curse them out, even if said "hater" knows more than you do, or is just plain right.

I swear, it's just like DeviantArt.
 
I don't like 95% of rap/hip-hop simply because I've just never liked it. I grew to hate it but it actually isn't a bias like most of my musical preferences / opinions are.

Also I'd be more than happy to hate on Soulja boy because he fits right into the stereotype of a rapper...worthless songs, over hyped nonsense, no meaning...mostly they mean the same thing.

Meaningful hip-hop is the little I'll listen to.

Also somebody mentioned Walk this Way by Aerosmith, which is actually a personal favorite of mine though I wouldn't call it rap ;)
 
Two rap groups, namely NWA and Public Enemy.
Outside of those two, I don't listen to much, minus a few Method Man tracks now and then.

And I haaate hip-hop. It's commercialized, overdone, stupid crap.

It's not. But the Run DMC version that was mentioned sure is. I prefer the Aerosmith version, however. The Run DMC version just has no flow in the vocals, IMO.

Sweet you like NWA and Public Enemy you are so cool they are two fine examples of fine Gangsta Rap.

Anyone who does not know who NWA and Public Enemy are should listen to there stuff and stop the dissing of the genre.
 
I can't stand rap/hip hop. My friend loves it. We're total opposites in music tastes. I love indie.
 
I am a big hip hop fan, and also RnB.

I tend to lose myself in the beat of a song, and much less so the rapping. So if you talk about the difference between straight rap, and then Hip Hop, there is a difference.

But anyone who know's me on PC knows I love my Hip Hop. I think it has developed mainly from being engrossed into the basketball culture. I am always playing and watching the sport, so am generally subjected to the music on a regular basis, and basically fell in love with it.

Mainstream rap/hip hop: I'm not gonna lie, I do like quite a bit of it. I wouldn't call Soulja Boy rap/hip hop at all, but 1 or 2 of his songs are catchy, but he really has given the genre 'Hip Hop' a very bad reputation.

Unfortunately many people listen to 1 Soulja Boy song and instantly think all other hip hop is the same, which any right minded person would know it's actually quite diverse.

Now, the stuff I listen to mainly is what some refer to as 'true' hip hop. I tend to go for artists such as Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, The Foreign Exchange, Jurrassic 5 etc, though also go for plenty of new stuff as well. My all-time favourite artist is probably Jay-Z.

This is a song I would refer to as summing up exactly the sort of music I like. The beat and rhythm to this song for me is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU2q-r_9GfQ

Obviously it's not to everyone's taste, but to me its like the greatest song of all time.
