It's ok. Some of it's great, a large quantity of it is ****, but I find it's the same with any style of music really.

Most of it is hateful or meaningless like most pop songs about love. They either sing it so that it's incomprehensible, and I would have to look up the lyrics (and you can be guaranteed that I wouldn't do it if I even hear the word "love" in it), or it's shallow, cliched, stupid and hackneyed to death. I have heard very few lyric songs that catch my attention. Even fewer of them are from rap.

Old stuff is good. I like some NWA, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. Though 99% of all new **** is unbearable to listen to.

I don't think anyone can make a sweeping generalisation about rap. Most of the crap in the top 100 is **** on a stick, but there's some hip hop music that I really love. Top 100 stuff is usually just the cookie cutter junk, these days you could probably just use about five different basic templates to create 90% of the hip hop on the radio. I really love stuff like MIA and Dizzee Rascal though, the more weird and innovative the better. European hip hop is way better than the American stuff these days.

I'd replace the word great with 'listenable', and replace the word '****' with 'ear raking pile of ****e'. xD I can cope to listen to one or two songs, but it really annoys me when I see rap artists famous for producing a sing-a-long. Not much talent involved, really.

The thing is the crap you here on TV is horrible. Horible. Just like the rock you see on TV is horrible. And I use the term lightly. Seriously, the stuff you see on TV is like the Fall Out Boys of rap.

Some of it is amazing, some of it is horrendous.

Oh wait, that goes for every other bloody music genre.

Gorillaz, MF Doom, Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030, Outkast, and k-os are all pretty pretty damned good.
