Rap Music

I listen to rap often simply because I find it fun to listen to. The lyrics are often very interesting to read too.

My favorite rap artists are Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Drake, and Tyler. Tho I do listen to a couple of others too.

 

It's not my favorite genre but it's definitely one I enjoy. A lot of rap gets a bad reputation, but it's some really good music actually. I like Eminem, Fort Minor, Akon, Lupe Fiasco and some others. My favorite rap songs are "The Show Goes On," "Lonely," "Hands Held High," and "Welome." By Lupe Fiasco, Akon, Linkin Park, and Fort Minor respectively. Rap can be pretty catchy and since I'm not too picky on music types, I really enjoy some good rap.

 

Rap is one of the genres I listen to the most (the other being Rock). When I first started listening to music, I started off with both Rock and Rap/Hip-Hop and have stuck with both ever since.
Rap is an interesting genre, to say the least. A lot of it does get a bad reputation, and I can completely understand why, considering some of the top hit songs from the past year or so. A lot of those songs are pretty garbage. Yeah, you can bump to them, but when you can't really understand the lyrics or the lyrics either make no sense/keep saying the same thing (money, girls, etc.), then you can't really consider that a good song.
There are so many good rappers out there who are fucking amazing at what they do and so original with their craft. Rap can be breathtaking if you listen to the right artists. A few key examples would be:

• Kendrick Lamar
• J. Cole
• Chance the Rapper
• Kid Cudi
• Eminem
• Logic
• Hopsin
• Kanye West

And so on. Each of them are phenomenal in their own way and are, in my opinion, some of the best rap artists currently around.
Some of those artists can be pretty damn clever with their rhymes too. I've had moments where I've listened to songs for months on end but only noticed a certain reference or play-on-words after a various amount of weeks of originally finding the song.
Seriously, if you're looking for a good rapper to listen to, just listen to any of those from that list and I promise you'll find a few songs you enjoy by them.

It's frowned upon by mainstream populace.

id say a solid 90% of the music i listen to is rap nowadays. i grew up with it so it's always really stuck with me. i really love the culture that surrounds it and it's such a great outlet for me to feel feelings, wether it be more anger-centered or conscious-poetic. rap is amazing fam

 

The Arab Rap Sensation, Group X.

The Youtube video versions of the songs come with amusing ten year old flash animations. Yay!
