It's music, and music in any type is good for the soul. No need to be black to enjoy. But for the history of rap, (excuse my lack of knowledge), it was/is extremely prominent in black communities, and it was/is largely about the prosecution and racism black people go through; even if it's not clearly stated. But rap is also a genre of music that some just people prefer.

Its a dead genre

Do you think they're dumb?

It's the modern day minstrel show.

The "appeal" is that it was engineered by kikes for subversion purposes.

Good post.
I would add that one of its appeals is, especially if you're not ghetto-black or experienced with poverty similar to theirs, you can vicariously get a feel of the vibe. Bragging as a means of street cred, storytelling, and so on. Rap as a vocal style is usually not very melodic, and while some rappers like Slimkid3 do rap intervallic, the appeal is rhythm-first. And black music is traditionally very rhythm-first.

Fuck off

People keep saying this but by this logic everything is dead outside of pop and country.

Aggressive/braggadocious lyrics and delivery, clever wordplay, catchy instrumental production that compliments the writing and vice versa, seeing how each artist weaves their rhymes. Usually has some sort of racial, social, or political bent, and rarely just one of them at a time. I like it and I'm quite racist. You might not be such at all and still dislike it. I say give it a shot dude. Can't hurt.

Don't bother even engaging. Their favorite braindead retort is "those are dead too, music is dead in general". Then they post the cover to an albim they havent listened to, while pretending that exclusively listening to singer-songwriters or composers from before their awareness of the culture war is "based". Anyone who is under retirement age and has refused to listen to anything made this side of the century has no desire to actually have musical taste; they want validation from strangers over their self-enforced obsession with Brahms, or Ted Nugent, or Hank Williams. They don't care about actual content or composition, they want pats on the head for going through the barest interactions necessary to engage with the topic. It's one thing to just like the old stuff and not like the new stuff. It's another to be a fag about it because you can't reckon your purity-spiral ideals with reality.

Capitalize the letter b when you type Black please, otherwise good points

A lot of what rappers do lyrically can be interesting, clever, and not as common to see in other genres. Like EDM, it's also a fascinating genre if you're into the production side of things and care about the different producers' styles and such. Not saying that doesn't exist in other genres - think Rubin, Albini, Max Martin, etc. - but it's especially prominent in hip-hop.

>>129571738
depends. i like Biggie because he sounds good, he's funny, and i just like the vibe overall. i think 2pac is overrated to all fuck because he's not anywhere near as interesting vocally and all he does is brag with paper-thin credibility.
it's like everything else, the genre doesn't really matter, within one genre you can have gems or dogshit. see also: doom vs black metal, ravel vs satie, any other jazz vs cool or free jazz.

Different strokes for different folks. You could make the same argument for black metal, brutal death metal, mall screamo, hyperpop. Different rhythm, instrumentation, intent, message, hip hop and, by extension, rap, started as a way for black kids in new york to flip disco samples, funk, soul, songs and make their own music. It then evolved over the years to different things.

Big Drum sound Cool

i don't really care for listening to it but it keeps incels in an eternal state of being anally annihilated so it's based in that regard

All stolen by yts from Black people

Ha ha, I get the meme. Real talk, different strokes for different folks. If a genre isn't for you a genre isn't for you.
