Music Rap and modern crap

On that note, and if we're generalizing, growling/whining/screaming into a mic isn't exactly a great feat either, yet some will tout it as gospel. 
I do hate MTV rap; it's utter garbage, but then again so is 99% of all other mainstream music. I do, however, enjoy hip hop. I like poetic and intelligent lyrics, and artists who actually have a message and a brain. I care not about rantings about money, drugs or sexual conquests; it's all just drivel anyway. In my opinion, good hip hip is such artist as Murs, Mf Doom, The Herbalizer, The Kleptones, Nujabes, Dj Shadow, UNKLE, and a lot of instrumental breaks. I doubt most people who critisize rap have even heard of those guys... it just goes to show how bad mainstream music really is.
I'm not a fan of the MTV generation crap either, nor the radio. Music today is, for the most part, soulless and bland - there's no innovation anymore and teens will flock to anything that the media says is cool. Well, I like complex and soulful music. I choose not to listen to the next iteration of the same pop groups that have been around for years.
Aside form hip hop I listen to a lot of different types of music; I'm a huge fan of reggae, blues, jazz, jungle, breakbeat, classic rock, punk, various other electronic genres and even some metal.

I still have my trusty Megadeth!
Intellegent lyrics, great themes, lots of varied subjects and sounds... And the most intense band ever, without degenerating into 'screamo' and sounding like a retard on fire, while guitars that sound mysteriously like whirring chainsaws blare without rythm in the background...
God, I hate Slipknot and those other fucking 'screamo' bands. Learn to sing, assholes.

Huh? There's a difference between the two?
I never cared for rap because it's a very lyrical genre and frankly, I just don't give a shit about lyrics. I don't listen to music to get lectured to.
Most of what I listen to is modern hardcore/grind type shit...but I've mentioned that in plenty of other threads. Not only is it much angrier than anything you'll hear on the radio and really really fast too, but they don't sing. They scream. For some reason, I really hate the sound of singing. I don't mind if it's bad singing, but good vocalists irritate the hell out of me. It sounds like shit.

Junglizm knows his shit.
The stuff you lot class as rap or hip hop and say is wank, most hip hop heads will agree with you.
I listen to UK hip hop mostly. Artists like Skinnyman, Mystro and Underground Alliance to name a few. Us chart bling shite doesn't even get a look in on my playlists.

first of all, Zickdot, u little kid, please understand that whatever u listen to is probaby an evolution of classic rock. u gotta know ur roots. even bands like Slipknot, Hatebreed, and Puff Daddy (P. Diddy... whatever) list bands such as Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd as their inspirations. yeah, they sound nothing alike, but face it, without classic rock todays stuff would not exist. you dont have to like it but at least have some respect for it. and srry Will, MTV sux balls!!!!
rap...
Rap, well, it's alright. Some stuff is better than other stuff. Petey Pablo's FREEKALEEK is definetely awesome, but Akon's horny chipmunk song... not so hot. Usher's YEA is flippin amazing, or was when first released, but thanks to being overplayed, it is now hated... GET LOW suffered the same fate as YEA, awesome + overplayed = hated.
What I really hate is the B2K genre of "rap". This shouldn't even be qualified as rap, thanks to the whole boy band era. Ah, B2K, thank goodness they broke up b/c of "artistic differences". Yeah right, they were just fighting about who got which fluffy pillow...
Busta Rhymes... his stuff is alright. Some of it is just bad, but he's had a few alright songs.
P.Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Puffy Combs, whatever he's going by now, is just sad. I'm sorry, but real rappers should not have flippin MANSERVANTS! (mr bentley for all you illiterates). Why would a rapper need an official tie fluffer, or someone to hold his umbrella?!? This purplexes me...
50 Cent... alright so Candyshop is fun to dance to, as was In the Club, but what else has he done? NOTHING! Except get shot up... speaking of that, has anyone ever wondered WHY someone decided to shoot him? Maybe, just maybe, they got tired of his incessant urge to rap at the drop of a hat... perhaps.
