Question: OPINION: If you like rap music, why!? Most songs are about sex (not all) so why do you like them!?!?
A ton of people love rap songs, and kids are getting into them!. My next door neighbor loves rap, he says because of the beat, and he doesnt even know what the words mean or sometimes what they say!.!.!. WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT!?!?!? I like dance/techno and Metal and/or Hard Rock, despite me having the emo surroundings, i dont like emo metal, unless it has some sort of tune to it!.!.!. But why dont people take the time to learn what they listen to without knowing what some things are!? All my songs tell a story about something (in an in-direct way), but nothing about sexual things!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
that's a pretty big generalization about rap music!. no one genre is that one dimensional!. i know a lot of folks who dislike rap and sometimes i even agree with them but here's what i say in defense of rap!.

in the past 30 years can you name a music art form/genre more unique than rap!? sure you have alternative, metal, punk but you can see the progression coming from rock where as rap ties to preceeding genres isn't quite so obvious!. electronica!? try hip-hop, house and disco!.

rap music history almost mirrors jazz in terms of acceptance!. i like to think the same type of people that dislike jazz back in the days are the new breed of people that frown on all rap/hip-hop!.

i'm ashamed to say that i dislike most rap music on the radio today!. sometimes i blame it on my age but mostly i blame it on the money!. hip-hop/rap didn't use to be like this!. i think it became narrow minded when record companies decided it could be lucrative!. bigger contracts lead to a different lifestyle which lead to the stuff we have to listen to today!.!.!. parties, cars, rims and sex!. but if you dig a little deeper you'll find creative and poetic lyrics!. try listening artist like freestyle fellowship, 2mex, mr lif, murs, blackalicious, mf doom, tribe, rakim, del, jeru, mob deep, wu-tang and tell me how one dimensional rap music can be!.

and finally, i was at one time just like your neighbor but because of hip-hop/rap music i was able to discover my love for jazz, soul, funk, r&b, latin, reggae, african etc!.!. rap music samples can actually lead you back through a history of music across all genres!. i started by djing hip-hop parties in high school playing roxanne roxanne and to digging for records and listening to coltrane, bill evans, hendrix, fela, curtis mayfield, elis regina, gilberto gil and a bunch of hip-hop!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Different people like different things!!
I love rap because the way that the beat and the bass mix with a rapper's voice makes me want to move - I feel it, you know!. Personally the lyrics don't bother me much, because I concentrate more on the beat and melody of it, than what they say, but I admit it's vulgar!.
It's the same way I love rock for the voice and the lyrics, not necessarily the beat or melody!.
Bottom line, it's about what moves a person, and rap moves some people!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well I agree with your neighbor, I like it because it's fun to bump your head to and dance around with!. Like Eminem, a lot of his lyrics are horrible, but the beats are awesome!. lol!. I never take rap seriously unless it's GOOD rap that actually is about something that matters, like Where'd You Go by Fort Minor or Where is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas!. That, and I'm more of a rock/indie person when it comes to lyrics!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Opinion:If you like rock music, why!? Most songs are about abusing drugs and suicide(not all) so why do you like them!?

Im sure that all rock songs arent story driven or non sexual!. Which a lot of them are!.!.!.its just that they dont give it to you straight like some rap songs do!. What makes you believe that hip hoppers are only listening to the so called sexual songs!. For real the reason why these songs are played on the radio is because ppl like your "neighbors" are making that type of rap POPULAR!. dat allWww@Enter-QA@Com

Rap is POORLY portrayed by the media!. Hip hop music that does not degrade woman actually exists!. "Atmosphere" is an underground hip hop band that creates music with amazing lyrics that actually communicate issues, and have influenced my insight incredibly!.!.!. "Mr!.J!.Medeiros" is a hip hop artist that does the same, as well as the hip hop band "The Procussions!." I hope that you check them out, because I want you to discover hip hop that is far from what the media portrays it to be!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I blame it on the parents!.

the new Idols are people that use to be drug's "street pushers" and with that income build the home recording studios, !.basically is "money laundry" they pay lot of money in promotions ,free party and concerts to make it look like they are very populars!. and they will always be in the same root business!.!.!.!.the drug dealing!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

To be honest, I don't really listen to all that majority, club, sexual, non-lyrical music that they play on the radio all the time!. I keep it meaningful and lyrical with the music I listen to!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

BECAUSE ITS REAL AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE FAKE STUDIO GANGSTA RAPPERS!.

I happen to like sex!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'm a fan of punk rock and 60's music!.!.!. but there are a lot of rap songs that I like!. If you actually were to listen to some rap songs you would see that there is a lot of songs not about sex!. I know you said not all of them are!.!. but there are A LOT that arent!. And some people dont listen to music for lyrics, some listen because of the beats!. Depending on the song is why I listen to it!. I'm a hundred prescent positive I could find you music that you would enjoy and they would be about nonsense, and have rap in it!.!.!. also techno!?!.!.!.!.!. I dont know what techno your listening to but if your techno is sitting there telling you a story it must not be that great!. The point of techno and dance is the beats!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hey u r listening to and talking about just MAINSTREAM rap !.!.!. the stuff they play on the radio and show in TV!. Thats only 30% of whats out there in the hip hop world!. The problem is record companies make em do these kinda songs as singles cos thats what the kids wanna hear now, and though there sre some out there who dont do this they dont get famous unfortunately !.!.!.!.!. look for some underground hip hop sites to see what i mean!. I grew up loving rap in the 80s and it was so different, so pure, none of this sex/drugs/violence stuff!. It meant something and made you feel good!. Things have changed for the worse!.

On the other hand its Ok to talk about sex once in a while cos its part of life, but they do it too much!. Here are some good rappers you should look into - 2pac, nas, biggie, lupe fiasco, scarface, outkast, joell ortiz, common, talib kweli !.!.!.!. ignore all this lil wayne, shawty lo, plies, souljah boy crap u hear everywhere!.

Check out some of my stuff for something different !.!.!.!.!. I rap too!.
