It used to be like 50% rap/hip hop to 50% rock/metal in the 90's and now it's like 90% rap/hip hop to 10% rock/metal. And that means about 90% of the white kids are wiggers with sagging and tall tees. It's embarrising. It's like this EVERYWHERE in my city as far as I see. (I live in Arlington,Texas)

    So yeah. Why is it popular?
    The same reason you're a prick.

    Step off of your short horse and realize you're not the only person with an opinion. You may think it sucks but those wiggers with sagging pants and tall tees think otherwise.

    People have no taste, what are you gonna do? Make concentration camps for people who like rap until rap is dead?
    Because I would so totally do that.

    Thats why i trew it out of my play list first time i heard it. Just cant stand it.

    but overall listen to what you like. Just ignore those who listen to different music. MP3 players were made for that you know.

    You're too small to have a high horse, hence the "short horse".

    And I know that, though I don't have any idea how that relates to my post.

    At any rate, that's why I posted my opinion of you.

    Prick.

    The title Lil' Wayne proclaims himself as is false. Hes a good rapper overall, but he isn't the best. What makes him only a 'good' rapper is that he says whatever comes to mind on a track. Like it was mentioned earlier, he never writes sh*t down. Better rappers take the time to write down what they say, and edit it to their wants. I admit, he has a lot of good metaphors and similes, but when it comes down to it; hes just an average rapper than knows how to grab the audiences attention.


    Personally, I don't know why Rap is popular. Some people listen to it cause they want to be cool, others listen to it cause they understand and actually appreciate it. Its more than just bitches, money, and cars; That's just brag Rap. There's also serious Rap, then theres gun talk Rap. Some people enjoy how rappers brag about their Louis bags, Gucci glasses, money, bling, all that. Others like it cause what some of these rappers say make them go "oh sh*t, that was hot" or "damnnn", you know.


    I, myself, love Rap. Not because I want to be cool, but just because I enjoy the type of music.


    What it all comes down to is..

    Where you come from, Ferrel, Rap is highly appreciated down there. They made a variation of it called "Chopped and Screwed" music. Personally, I don't like it, but I'll respect them for what they like.

    I don't know about you guys but most of the kids at my school make fun of songs like Crank That Soulja Boy.

    I like Lupe 'cause he keeps it real and raps about important stuff, stuff that makes sense. It ain't all gangster shit.

    Please try to take me seriously while reading this post, by ignoring the fact that my username is GrandHustle. Thank you.

    I used to think like that too...until I realized I was just an idiot feeling sorry for myself.

    Now, I listen to Bob Marley when I'm "depressed" (as "depressed" as I get)...I find that listening to positive music is a better cheer up than hearing someone else cry about their problems. But that is me.

    So what? People like what they like.
    Rap is popular because people enjoy it simple as that and just because people say it's useless and talks about nothing but picking up girl or something doesn't mean it's inferior to any other genre.
    I could say all your music is crap but the point is not what I think but what you think.

    I'm going to say a style and a genre of music where the lyrics are emotional and have the emo sound.

    @MarchoftheBlackLions Linkin Park isn't emo. The term emo is used too much. Yeah dont forget Pantera!

    Well I couldnt really describe it. Its not the lyrics or else 80% of songs would be emo. Its the sound which i cant describe. Whining i guess.

    Oh, and Fort Minor's good too. Another rapper who's songs aren't all about hoes, bitches, money, drugs, and violence.
