What are day to day phrases you hear people say that you know aren’t true, but since they know nothing about rap, you just let it go
“Lil Wayne is the worst rapper ever”
All the Drake and Kanye hate. What is objectively bad about their music?
“Rap music is garbage”: Everyone born before 1965
“It doesn’t take talent to write rap music."
"Eminem only raps about his wife and mom."
"All rappers only talk about bitches, money, swag, and weed."
"All rappers do is talk fast and rhyme."
"Biggie and Tupac can’t be matched."
"Swimming Pools is another mainstream song about drinking irresponsibly.”
There’s a shitload more I’m sure I’m forgetting.
What BS do you guys hear said over an over among surface-level hip hop ‘fans’
?

Have you ever heard/seen Kanye perform on shows?
Holy fuck, he has horrible vocals. Maybe the guy can write and is artistic (as I'm not going to pretend to have studied his "work" or be a lyric writer), but he sounds like complete shit.
And he's a complete dumbass. But you know, he's putting his life on the line every time he goes on stage, so let's all take a moment of silent respect for that.

all statements in rap lyrics are uneducated ramblings about lots of nothing. Rap is for people with no talent who think they have any.

You could call me talentless and illiterate to have pockets like many of them, namely Jay Z. I'd take that over my amazing literacy and outer worldly IT skills any day.
Otherwise making that statement makes you sound bitter lol, but can't tell if you are joking or not

He's not joking.
While I agree that there are a lot of dudes who rap about nothing, the way a lot of these dudes flip and use words is poetic. Kanye West may say the dumbest stuff in interviews but he has some of the best lyrics in the game.

Rap does take at least some lyrical skill, but rap also sucks in my opinion. Listened to some of it back in the 90s and early 2000s, mostly because some of my friends did and thus I had to listen to it when we'd be riding in their cars, but otherwise, never cared for it and probably never will.

Maybe he should just go to full-time writing for others then, because his stage ability is horrible, and he sounds like shit.
Implying i said Kanye was a singer.
You said what was bad about his music? Um, besides that he SUCKS as a singer and the music itself is disjointed?
It sucks, he sucks, but maybe his words are nice, according to some people in this thread. Great, go be a writer, because he literally had two of the worst TV performances I've ever seen out of a "musical artist" of ANY genre. #1 and #2, he's THAT top of the game, yo.
Implying u have to be fucking Jesus as a person for your music to be good
Um, no, his music sucks, and he's a douchebag. They are two separate, unrelated things, and he excels at both of them.

You keep on with this middle white America thing? Can you break that down? Is it the middle class or middle America? Your writing is that of a thirteen year old that was left back a few years. None of them make sense to begin with. Pretty sure there are white people on both coasts that can't stand Rap, so Middle America is a stupid comment. Middle Class? So rich people all love Rap? White Southern trash tend to be more country/death metal or juggalos so another failed attempt.
I think Eminem, Vanilla Ice and all other white Rappers are a shitty as the black ones. Rap is Crap.

To call something a classic is subjective. What you call classic, I call crap. What I call classic, you probably call crap, since I listen to classical, country, classic rock, modern rock, jazz, R&B and blues, not (c)rap.
There are good cops and bad cops. To call them all pigs is moronic.
It's typical ignorant crap. All cops are pigs, until your house gets broken into, then it's bitching because the cops weren't there in 5 seconds after you called them. :fp:

You put Vanilla Ice and Eminem in the same sentence.
Technically, you just did as well.

things become popular because people are dumb and easily influenced. Not because its something actually worth knowing or listening to.Wealthy rappers are wealthy because the mass audience is dumb, not because they give a quality product.
Rap is trendy and stupid ...there are aging rockers who still make music. There aren't aging rappers because they know it sounds stupid and get out before they look real dumb doing itJust catching up, haven't read since.
Can't just be because you like the music? Have to be dumb and easily influenced?
I wouldn't consider myself dumb or easily influenced, just a fan of music or enjoying it for what it is..music. I like and appreciate music of all genres though not just Hip Hop
I agree not all of it is good, but I definitely disagree with having to be dumb to enjoy it.
Aging rockers as you say can continue to make music. It isn't a avenue you need to be relatively young to be successful. The type of music they are making. Rap is a young man's game, similar to there not being any aging athletes playing professional sports (over 40's) in relation to rockers compared to 'rappers'.
Not because "they know it sounds stupid". Just not cool to be in that type of music when you are over 45-50+ like you can in rock. There will be no Willie Nelson's or 6th different lineup of Guns N Roses in Hip Hop.
Rap is trendy and stupid you say.... yet it's commercialized everywhere
