I used to follow the "(c)rap" crowd, but I don't anymore as there is that 1% of rappers that actually aren't bad. Hip-hop and rap I tend to have a hard time telling apart, but I tend to dislike hip-hop even more since it seems so god-awfully inconsistent in beat, intentionally!, while at the same time having the same level of rehashed crap you find in 90%+ of rap songs. How many times can you brag about what crimes you got away with?, how many times can you mope about going to jail?, how many times are you gonna tell the story of how you (tried to) get laid (and failed)?, why must you go on about what cars and jewels you got? These kinds of people try way way WAY too hard to prove something, while (to me) often sounding absolutely terrible at the same time. Given, there's a small percentage of rap/hip-hop that doesn't really fall into those categories, but you tend to hear things along those lines a lot, which as someone has said, gets pretty old, FAST. But there is some fun/clever rap, however scarce.
