People are always saying rap is sissy etc. I agree maybe some of the new stuff is all image, but have you ever heard of groups like A tribe Called Quest or Run DMC. That's real rap and before you go dissing a whole music genre, listen to more than one song.

i must say rap is one of my least favourite styles of music, but there is some stuff i quite like and some "songs" i love. with all musical genres you can find exceptional artists. i'm not really a fan of folk or country but again, you can find some great stuff. to say i hate Rap, all rap is shit etc is just stupid full stop.

Although not my favorite to listen to I do like some rap. Some of the songs and lyrics are very well written and quite catchy. My favorite rapper has to be 2pac. His writing style was on a personal level that you could connect to. It is a shame that such a great musician is gone a such a young age.

I hope that we can have a discussion about this and not have it turn into a swearing contest.
