I love how people always defend popular music with the only tangible (at least, to them it is tangible) argument they have: BUT ITS POPULAR! If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? (I've actually had people answer Yes to this question before.)
Also: Rap existed in 1979? Eh?
What do you mean by that? and What are you trying to say?It caters to the lowest common denominator

I'm not defending Hip-Hop because it's popular. I'm defending it because you came in here and flamed it, and I'm defending it because this is the immature rhyming about "mackin' da hoes" set to a standard, musically null beat I grew up listening to.
And yes, Hip-Hop pretty much started in 1979.

Fixed.
Caters to the lowest common denomenator is another way of saying it appeals to morons, which make up a majority of the populace. Thank you for proving my point so effectively. I didn't even mean for this to turn into a flame against rap, just a contrast of (c)rap to good metal.
That there is a blatant lie, and you know it.I didn't even mean for this to turn into a flame against rap

Yet I know plenty of intelligent people who listen to rap, which does sadden me. However, that is more a result of cultural conditioning overpowering any realization that the music is indeed garbage. You may well be one of those. I never said you were a moron, only that rap has enormous appeal to morons. It is simple, easy to understand, and promotes the basest of animal instincts above all else. And the atrocities it is creating in the language need not even be mentioned.
Rap is, come to think of it, the only genre of music I have ever written off as a whole. No other genre of music promotes stupidity and hatred in such a crude package without any shame. I apologize if I'm treading on your childhood memories, but that is the real reason you are defending rap, is it not? Can you pretend, in adulthood, that it is not a juvenile pasttime?
