It's the most overrated genre. I feel like I'm the only one who does not like Rap. Tell me there's somebody else who does not like rap either.

I don't hate ALL of any genre (except country/western). I like some rap, but the rappers I listen to are usually Jewish, or Asian.
I like 90s rap, not that trendy studio rap they play today.

Modern rap sucks, not the stuff that came out in the 90s.

It's a pathetic shadow of it's 80's heyday. Interest in rap is waining but the record companies still shove it down people's throats. I hardly see any wigger types around anymore. Then they wonder why album sales are so low.
My two big problems are how much it relies on samples rather than original music, and often the samples aren't even well used. Take Short Distance by Obie Trice. It has a five second loop from Yes' Heart of the Sunrise going over and over again, with an out of time beat and rap over top. The original piece by Yes has a really long bass led instrumental break that would have leant itself well to rhyming over. My other problem is most of the time I can't relate to it, it often describes lower class or higher class things that I've ever known in my own life. And there's a lot of product placements in rap lyrics, it's like advertisments from FHM magazine set to a beat or something.

The only rap I listen to now is Cookie Monster's Letter of the Day song.
I agree with some of you- rap is shit. Run DMC were amusing, Public Enemy were intelligent. NWA were allright. That's it. The rest is a stereotype of what record companies expect rappers to be- black, violent and opinionated.

The vast majority of rap that has come out recently does suck hard, just listen to Lil Wayne for proof.
Some songs from Ice Cube, NWA, Snoop, Jay-Z, Beastie Boys and a few others are pretty enjoyable.

I hate hip-hop too. It's all samples. Nobody can play any instruments, just relying on older music to get by.

If you think rap sucks, you obviously haven't heard this.

Someone who likes Children of Bodom shouldn't be making judgements about other people's vocal talents.
Also, way to propogate the stereotype that all Australians are racist douchebags. You've really made me feel a deep connection to the Land Down Under.

By the way, rap doesn't suck. It's just that you are listening to all that lame ass shit on the radio.
