for me alot of it is the music. not the words but the music. rap and hip hop is definatly the music to dance to and some of it is cool and not all of it is bad. there is also bad stuff in other kinds of music. i agree that some of it is rather shall we say over the top. but like i said not all of it is bad. some of the songs are real. alot of it is expressions of real peoples lives and honestly the way they talk about women is the way alot of us are. i mean to me it brings to light the truth about some of us and it you dont like what they are saying dont be like that and they cant say it enymore. let me clarify that when they say bad stuff about women they are not degrading all women some of the songs glorify women they are talking about the ones that are like that. so take rap as you want it but it is the good the bad and the ugly. hope this helps you to see why people do find rap and hip hop cool, and do like it.

Hip Hop culture rules!  Rap is one aspect of this diverse and highly creative movement, I think it is fantastic and great positive release for many youth in america and around the world.

who says you cant love both hip hop and techno. i am a thuggishfreak. i love alternative but i am so much hip hop it aint even funny. techno is cool and also some country and other stuff. whats wronge with liking more than one thing.besides one of the best things about hip hop is the music and the beats and the dancing so techno is along the same setup as far as the music and beats and dance so no wonder you found you loved techno to.

I hate rap.  I'm a country fan. I also like listening to some rock, but rap just seems to be not as full of talent.  People are talking to a beat.  I don't mean to offend anyone, that's just my personal preference.

You aren't crazy - with all the garbage that's being pumped on the radio stations its hard to find a genre that's good. I stick with RnB 70's - 80's and I  love some jazz. I only listen to hip hop underground ( Taleb Kwele - Dwele - Papoose etc.) and like Rock from the 80's. I have a guilty pleasure for the bee gees. :)

Now let me say this. To compare Rock to Rap is to compare and apple to an orange. So to say one is beter than the other is not a proper statement> I personaly like both. I listen to ALL music and every genre has somrthing to offer to its listeners.

I think the music that someone listens to not only reflects who they are, it influences who they will be in the future.  I love music that is positive and happy and motivating.  I hate music that only talks about how much money they have, or all the bitches they have, or killing people or doing drugs.  Basically rap music sucks.  But I like and dislike the music I do because that's what kind of person I am a positive, happy, motivated person that doesn't care how much money someone else has or what girls or any of that crap.  I am going to go somewhere in life, and make a ton of money, but I'm not going to sing about it and waste it on rims and platinum chains and diamonds in my teeth.  That shit is ridiculous.  And people who base their life around that rap music crap are most likely going to end up in jail or a grave.\n\nNote:  Rap music and Hip Hop are not the same thing.  I love some Hip Hop, just not crappy gangsta rap.

I don't really know. I dont get it. I mainly listen to R&B and Hip Hop. I don't really like rock. Although, there are a few songs I think are cool. But, I don't spend my time posting questions like "Why do people like rock, its stupid". Then you have the ignorant people will swear up and down that #1- rap isn't music, #2- that all they talk about is gangs, drugs and women. Then it ends up turning into some kind of racial topic. Its ridiculous. Not everyone is supposed to like all the same stuff. thats why there is so many different genres out there.

it depends on the song. you have different typpes of rap. you have ur commercial rap vs your crunk vs you gangster rap vs hip hop. hip hop is the type of rap im more prone to enjoy listening to. it has meaning and the majority is not offensive in any way to anyone. especially that new song by lupe fiasco called "kick push" tellin the story of a skateboarder now wen u get into songs such as CAmron's "suck it or not" which, while catchy as well as offensive, i tend to steer away from songs of that nature.

Yes I like hip hop as well as other kinds of music. It's just music for entertainment.

Rock. First of all because I like it. Secondly Rap isn't real music. I mean your yelling, not singing. Its also a sterotype. I mean its more like porn in the form of a video than music. Theres girls wearing next-to-nothing in the videos, gross.

Rap does not exist anymore. Only commercial hip hop and they all suck these days. Not like the good ol' days with Dre, Tupac, and you know the rest. All we have these days are horrible artists like D4L, Crime Mob, and sell outs like Eminem and 50 Cent.

Because most of the popular stuff now is that rap charp, it's hard for anyone to listen to.  \n\nJust try and listen to some normal music and you love it.
