Ugh, that was bad. I only based my reply on what I hear all the time, mainly from media, television, the radio... all that mainstream junk. I've done my research now and anyone who says that rap isn't music is being purely childish - it's obviously music. If you go and learn the history of rap, it may change your mind. There are a LOT of good rap artists out there, some people are just not choosing to be more open-minded. Of course, it just might not be your cup-of-tea too, but for God's sake, don't go bashing it and believing how rap is only composed about degrading women, bling, and being gangsta, yo.
Yeah, now that I was able to comprehend more about rap, it's not bad. If you want a list of good bands, I'll be happy to share one for you.
