What some people call "music" (although that is a matter of opinion), rap being produced these days is usually boring and meaningless, pretentious shit with someone complaining about how hard their life was before they got a multi million dollar record deal.
Many people prefer other music over rap, as other genres of music tend to use more layers in their music so it is deeper musically than just vocals and a rhythm.
Some rappers, such as Eminem, you could respect, even if you didn't like their music, because their music meant something. But even he has gone completely downhill, and I can't think of any decent rappers worth mentioning at the moment.

Rap is a form of ... "music" (and I use that term EXTREMELY loosley) where a person rhymes or (raps) words to a singular beat that continues throughout the ... song?? Rap was influenced by and is a spin off of hip hop. 90 - 95 % of the songs talk about nothing more than sex, drugs and the, "gangsta" life.
example of a rap song. (one beat or baseline) ... yo baby im a gangster, I shoot people, i do drugs and am a pimp as well. I want to bang you all night in my pimped out sports car.

The ULTIMATE black stereotype.
Black guy: *crappy attempt at rap*
White guy: My god, all black people must like rap!
Other white go: Is that so?
White guy: Indeed!
Blonde girl: I believe this stupid stereotype because I'm blonde!
White guy: Oh the wit, ANOTHER stereotype!
Englishman: Guffaw!

the shittiest excuse for talent ever created. all it really is is a shitty ass beat to a shitty ass poem. many people think it takes talent because you have to write lyrics with a beat that already exists. well the same goes for rock. you have to write lyrics. ONLY IN ROCK YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LYRICS, BEAT AND TUNES!!!!! and then you have to play them flawlessly.
IN OTHER WORDS. RAP TAKES NO TALENT. ROCK DOES.
rap sucks massive dick, and MUST END!!!! its shutting out the real artists: led zeppelin, ac/dc, jimi hendrix, etc.

Urban style of music often critisized as not being a form of music. Also usually stereotyped and limited to 50 Cent, Eminem, T.I., Ja Rule and other bullshit, mainstream artists. Think about it, all music talks about the same things, life, love and most of all failure. People's lifestyles just happen to be different. Also music is all based on preference so if you dont like it, don't listen to it! On a final note, just like with anything, you should research and get to know something before you go dissing on it or you're really just an ignorant prick.

Music that prolly wouldn't be so bad if MTV hadn't gotten a hold of it. The most mainstream (meaning overplayed, and only like by 12 year old fags who think they're hot shit because they can mimic the way 50 Cent and Eminem dress) is cheap beats (made in programs like Fruity Loops Studio) that loop annoyingly, accompanied by a person talking fast about stuff (stupid shit like being a 'gangsta', drugs, sex, women, or their life story. This is the worst form of rap (and I don't mean because of the swears). Underground rap is more closely related to the way original rap/hip hop was recorded, and includes turntablism, sampling, producing, visual art, breakdancing, beatboxing, and more.
It has been said that rap is only hated by rich white people, and blacks only like rap. Not true. I have a black friend who likes rock, I like rock (I am white and not rich).
Rap is teh suck and rock is teh win

And recently I heard a rapper dissing country music by saying that rappers write more songs than country singers do. Well, the good country singers, TAYLOR SWIFT, write or co-write all of their own music. But, I do agree. A four year old could write a rap song. I can right now.
