So I started browsing Yea Forums this summer because I absolutely love rap music and wanted a place to discuss actual rap music with people. 99% of people these days only really care for trap/mumble rap which honestly is a complete shithole of a sub genre these days. It really disappoints and saddens me to see that when any discussion of rap music comes up on this board everyone is quick to jump one the "rap is crap" and "rap isn't music" comments. It's absolutely toxic. Rap IS music and can be appreciated in great artistic capacity. Just because the music behind the rappers isn't always complex or skillful doesn't mean the raps themselves aren't. To be clear I'm talking about rap as a sub genre of hip hop that focuses primarily on lyricism. I think this board needs to take a step forward and be more willing to listen to and discuss rap as an art form deserving of serious critique.
Some albums/artists I personally enjoy and recommend for people who want to get into good rap music
>anything Eminem (he's the goat)
>Kanye's MBTDF, TLOP, Yeezus, Graduation
>Kenrick's GKMC, TBAP
>MF Doom's Mm… Food?, Madvillainy, Operation: Doomsday
>Tyler's Flower Boy
> Lil Wayne's Tha Carter II, III, IV, any of his mid-2000s mix tapes
>Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Rakim, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, Nas,

The only rap album is Die Lit by Playboi Carti

If you’re white, ideally you grow out of rap by age 17. Some take longer but under no circumstances should it be your main genre by age 21. If it is, your brain didn’t develop correctly and you’re stuck with low tier taste.
Where do people come up with this? its really good bait
Well it’s true. Black people and women like rap and it’s ok for them because their brains aren’t as voluminous. If you’re a male of any other race and it’s your main genre, you’re stunted mentally. There’s no other excuse when there’s such a large amount of better, more stimulating music. It’s like saying your favorite film is the Spongebob movie. It’s time to stop being retarded user, challenge yourself to be better
Correct
>Black people and women like rap and it’s ok for them because their brains aren’t as voluminous
Yes, please tell us more about how superior your intellect is
What's better and more stimulating about the music you would recommend?
I’m smarter than you and your dad and could more than likely beat both of you up at the same time.
Jpegmafia.
rap is crap
>he tries to act tough on the internet
Nice move
You’re a joke
I would destroy you physically. I can sense your skinnyfat blob fingers typing out these petty little replies. Don’t reply to this, im done with you.
Okay I won’t reply to this
>Don’t reply to this, I’m done with you.
i'm not a big rap guy but i've been meaning to try Madvillainy and It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back because i've heard good things about them
Eary Outkast is the only "rap" worth listening to. The rest will make you dumber and make your cognitive loop shorter and shorter with more and more listens.
Eminem fucking sucks nigga
>hes still in his rap phase
heh. you'll grow out of it soon, kiddo
Thank you for coming back
Actually not liking rap music is a sign of an underdeveloped brain, what's happening to you and what's causing you to not enjoy it at the level required is a simple sensory overload. Where normal developed brains can freely shift between focusing on the rhythmic vocal performance and the music behind it to get a greater appreciation, yours struggle to make sense of the apparent cacophony, rubbing you of the stimuli present in rap music.
Rap is terrible and you should stop listening to it, you fucking moron.
Nice try Tyrone.
He’s right. Because of their superiority, both mentally and physically, black people can not only rap, but also steal your girlfriend and fuck her better than you ever could. With much larger brains they can keep up better with the intense lyrical and instrumental rhythms rap commonly uses, and because of their physical prowess they have no problem dicking your wife up and taking her for themselves. Not only will she love them for their impressive builds, but also be pleasantly surprised with how expansive their knowledge of rhythms and vocabulary is.
>muh dik
cope
weak bait
he's right though
Rap is actually the most interesting genre right now. Because it is materially easy to access – no instrumentation, one individual for the vocal performance –, lots and lots of people are getting in. And because of this, the scene is constantly moving and the genre is evolving faster than any other. You know bitch ass crackers with drums/bass/guitars (at best) have been sounding the same for at least 25 years.
How couldn't you love the strange mellowness of Viper's My Hops?

The gloomy, murderous piano notes and visually powerful lyrics of 22Gz's Sniper Gang Freestyle? It's safe to bet very few people in here know about this universe of poverty, violence and senseless death. Rap is an open door to a world you don't know, much more than any other genre.

One last song, probably the one that best epitomizes what rap haters think about when they hate rap in public : Famous Dex's Yeaaa Yeaaa Yeaaa. It's a chaotic, funny, no-brainer song. I still have to find something more festive than this.

PS. All the white bois classicists can go fuck themselves with NAS and Kendrick Lamar and what they perceive as "intelligent" rap music
Enter the Wu-Tang
so many racist /pol/ kids in this thread its amazing. I'm really rooting for you guys, you know, go shoot up some schools/malls or whatever the plan is. go for it you boys, we are proud of you.
what I'm trying to say is, we as a whole, we love it when you little disgusting incels commit suicide by cop because your little brain is distorted by social media consumage.
please kill yourselves, disgusting Amerifags. they called the slavs subhumans but my fucking god your species is so fucking disgusting.
love black americans tho, they gave us all the music we have nowadays. from blues, rock and roll to rock and hiphop. all pop music is black based. and what did you do? white faggots of America? you tried to stop them. the creative blacks. kill yourself if this speaks to you, because you are the problem
you had a good case going for you until you started dropping links, then you just dove headfirst into shit's creek with that shitpost
All arguments need examples
>grew out of rap at 21
Phew! I nearly made it. Sometimes I look back and wonder what kind of person I'd be today if I kept listening to rap past that age. Scary stuff!
>99% of people these days only really care for trap/mumble rap which honestly is a complete shithole of a sub genre these days
I got dalek recommended here. Of course there is a lot of shit but come on that's just what this board is. Try to make the change you want
>everyone is quick to jump one the "rap is crap" and "rap isn't music" comments. It's absolutely toxic.
Just ignore it pussy
>Rap IS music
duh
actually correct. i grew up listening to rap on account of my dad being a drug dealer (he's white don't worry). listened exclusively to rap until I was 20, then all of a sudden I just couldn't stand that shit anymore. i still have a playlist of it and i still listen to some but holy shit does it get old. it really is for teenagers

Trap/“mumble rap” is the only type of hip hop even worth listening to.
objectively true
this is either a peak troll or a high school future frat boi
also listen to the roots or organized noise
someone post the race preference infograph lmfao
>aggressive talking is his favorite genre
>taking Yea Forums this seriously
It's literally just /pol/ shitposting, don't get so bothered by plebians plebposting. Also if you browsed smarter you would've realized that in between (c)rap posting there is some seriously quality and niche hip hop/rap that gets suggested here
i hate rap but honestly death grips and MF DOOM is pretty solid. i also listened to injury reserve yesterday, that shit was p good. but generally speaking old school hip hop is just straight up boring, and the new "trap" shit literally hurts my ears

Also Kendrick isnt rap, nor is Tyler, nor is Kanye. Eminem is the best lyricist, nobody who likes rap actually listens to anything but infinite
I have been listening to rap since I was 11 and I think it has only been my main genre at those times, I loved g-funk and gangsta rap for a brief time before I discovered prog rock. I still listen to rap to keep up with it but have never really listened to it more than whatever I listen to at the time.
Ok
Lol fag
tpbp
absolutely based and correct statement my friend
honestly it's time to move on. rap is one of the lowest, basest, and most degenerate styles of music to exist. it has no artistic value or merit and represents the lowest point in the entire artistic medium of music. it is worthless, vulgar art.
based
I’m a huge Eminem fan but he’s not the goat lol. Also currently listening to Tech N9ne. What rap are y’all bumping right now?
>it’s not boom bap so it’s not rap
this is even worse than rap unironically
old school hip-hop is at least tolerable
trap is god awful
so you went from shitty hip-hop to
one of the worst genres of rock available that basically only pseudo-intellectuals like
you have shit taste.
>If you’re white, ideally you grow out of rap by age 17
my ex-roommate (kicked out of school for shit grades) who loves hiphop is unironically a white supremacist

rape "music"
based and accuratepilled
“Old school” hip hop is unimaginative, uninspiring, yawn inducing, boomer tier garbage that really can’t be considered music by any means
The stance I've come upon after not liking rap for some time is that it's a genre all about lyrics in an art form where lyrics are some of the least important aspects of the medium. Vocal performances are of course just as important as your instruments as they can be one themselves but the lyrical aspect of music just isn't that critical to its success. The last thing I want to have forced in my ears when I listen to music is some random guy talking about how much of a "straight GANGSTA" he is or how he made Taylor Swift famous or any other bullshit. I find non-rap genres that feature lyrics to be much more listenable however since they are not as forceful in their delivery. Often times you don't have to pay attention to what the artist is saying and can just zone it out, but with rap if you try to do that you'll fail since the lyrical delivery is always at the forefront of the mix since that is what the genre is focused around.

Last time I looked at /pol/ was over a year ago. Rap is still shit, faggot.
In before that faggot whose been posting how whites shouldn’t criticize hip hop comes in to exude his big brain knowledge over the board
Vocals spill over like the chilling words of Jehovah
Or the cup that runneth.. let's keep it a hunneth
Yeah I used to like ""rock"" music but I grew out of it by the time I was 15.
I agree that there's good rap out there that gets buried under legions of wannabes yelling about hood shit that nobody cares about.
Try People Under the Stairs and anything Del Tha Funky Homosapien has been in, particularly his work on The Gorillaz and Deltron 3030.
>It's absolutely toxic
yes and nigger noise is literally demonstrably toxic for culture and civilization as a whole
