Rap

Is rap the most overrated music genre ever?

I like rap, I genuinely do. But most of the trendy shit that comes out of it is just ppl saying they got bitches cars money etc. that shit is not enjoyable to listen...

I get that you can like the music the beat etc. but really if you tell me that (for example) carnival is a good song I must think you are braindead no?

"She rides my dick like a carnival" just stfu porn addict I don't care that much about your sexual experiences. And rap is a lot like that. Especially the shit that goes viral.

Still all time rap has insane bangers no doubt

listen to bladee and you understand the real beauty

Amazing speech!

I'm not saying that rap can't be any good. As I said I like rap and I believe that if you want to make a good rap song, you can 100% can.

But I'm talking about the mainstream shit mainly. Always talking about sex drugs bitches and whatnot.

And still, even when talking about it, it doesn't mean that it is a shit song just bc of it. I think 50cents got some bangers related just to sex. But seeing all the mainstream shit like that is unbearable.

Rap has been my least favorite genre since forever (with a few exceptions) but I agree with your point.

try these once:

Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
All time fav
Current fav, skip to 6:55

I think it's like this for almost any genre. I think any mainstream music is mid, not cuz im tryna be contrarian or anything, but time and time again a genre has gotten big, with some originally rly unique artists spearheading the genre, only to be picked up by some massive music label and forcing the most shittiest collabs and making artists make music by quotas and killing any personality or innovation; making most mainstream music just bland and corporate sounding, and younger people (9-16 yr olds) will just eat it up cuz it sounds cool to them

No Americans play guitar anymore.Nowadays, people make beats on a MacBook.

But Rap is better than 2010s electronic music lol.

I was literally going to comment u that going against all mainstream music is kinda crazy considering the variety of it (especially through the years) like 1980+ rock, Coldplay in the 2000s, the Weeknd etc lol

yh i coulda phrased that better.
more precisely, the larger a genre gets I think the worse the music gets, there are alw exceptions like u mentioned, og coldplay still goes hard

(If I can ask)

It's embarassing but my family was outside Italy when I was young and when we came back I didn't make any Italian speaking friends (I went to an international school) and eventually ended up not speaking it to my parents, which made my Italian super bad lol.

Spending the first few years of my life outside Italy really didn't help

Saying "Only Em is the only one who can rap" got to be the most dumbest take I have ever seen on this site, surely you're baiting?

Ha, ha, ha, schyeah

How is this supposed to be a good song I don't get it😭😭😭

I understand that it can get you hyped up or something, that you like the beat and whatnot...

But calling it a "great" song is crazy to me😭

It isn't fake because Italy's still the country I identify mostly with

Even 50 Cent the average rap artist acknowledge that Em is the only good rap artist. Other just speak gibberish.

this was me a while ago but mostly just cause i didnt really explore music and heard 90% of music from radio in the car. Now i have explored a bit and for now I'll recommend you <Wild flower by RM> and <Snooze by Agust D> if u dont mind songs not in english.

I mean Eminem is goated but you can't write off the whole genre like that, Eminem would be the first one to be disappointed lol

Again, many rap song are great, but nowadays all I hear is sex bitches and drugs

carti can say anything and make it sound good lyrics aren't everything

rap is ridiculously varied and vast, people just don't really care to put in the effort to find artists that they actually lik

facts

rap as a genre is incredibly diverse, just depends on what YOU want to listen and what YOU find, cant really call it overrated when ur not trying to find rappers you actually enjoy listening to or just songs you like

like some of my favorite songs are:
cold world - eric reprid
show me - joey bada$$
les - childish gambino
and others

juice wrld is the typa rap i listen to

not that sad "all girls are the same" typa songs

mainly his love/hype unreleased music

JID and old school rap is the only rap I listen to these days. I tried to force myself to like it back in highschool since so many of my friends did, but it was never my thing tbh.

Carnival goes fucking hard lmfao. Carti is always tweaking bro nothing new.

Listen to 90210 by LaFlame, masterpiece.

i mean i agree & disagree, ngl i listen to it bcuz is cool and Hype....old rapper is cool tho but nowdays they just yapping and doesnt have rhyme, but there is definitely alot good rap song out there

GKMC,TPAB,Graduation is all great album you could try . Not all rap is about sex, drug, gang. It can get deep if you willing to listen it.

Trash 1, Trash 2, Trash 3, Trash 4, Trash 5, Trash 6. Name more, they're all bad. Even if there's 1 or 2 good song from them, the rest is bad.
As I said, only Em can do good rap.

let’s be fr

songs about sex are so weird to listen to imo

aight name 10 good em songs

Math rock most underrated 😎

I miss those days when rap was about lyrics and shit. Now you can mumble whatever you want with a trap beat and people go crazy over it. I still don't understand how songs like Gucci gang gets 1B views.
These guys who rap over women drugs and sex will never be in the conversation for the greatest rappers of all time.

With that I'd suggest you to listen to
Eminem
Kanye
Kendrick
J Cole
Logic
Joyner
Lil wayne

These guys have deep meaning associated with their lyrics. Avoid every rapper whose name starts with lil except lil Wayne.
