A genre that nowadays integrates no singing ability, absolutely no musical talent, an ignorant tough-guy attitude, and a whole lot of strippers and such to make up for the above. It markets a "give me booty, beer, and a blunt" attitude to 12-16 year olds, and all sounds the same. Lyrical content always includes starting pointless "beefs" with other rappers, bitches and/or hoes, guns, drugs, "click", "grills", "my crew", shooting police, saying fuck, shit, or bitch every other word, etc. It's all-attitude and no substance. It's also the most popular genre in prisons. Whatever happened to Public Enemy, KRS-One, or any of that GOOD rap?
Lil' Jon, 50 Cent, and all that other crunk/"gangsta" rap bullshit. Music constitutes a Roland TR-808 doing the beat, a guitar riff or musical phrase stolen from another song (i.e. "Crazy Train", "Kashmir", etc.), some 9th-grade dropout putting "poetry" (with slurred speech and a loud, obnoxious voice) to a beat, and some dumb asses in the background shouting the last word in every verse (ripped off from punk music). Name-dropping your clothing line/record company at the end is a plus. Records are usually about 50% songs and 50% "skits" (i.e. Eminem).

Music genre that consists of a drum machine, synthesizer, AutoTune, and lyrics consisting mainly about sex, drugs, and 'gangsters'. The lyrics, on occasion, rhyme. The rapper does not sing, they merely speak lyrics and say a cuss word every three words. Rap is also accredited with gang violence. I.E., the murder of Tupac Shakur. It is also argued that rap is an acronym. Example:R-Retards R-Rhythmic Music

Robbing artistic producers, which is what the majority of rap purveyors are doing, by sampling (stealing) from other artists, mainly rock.
RAP is not music, and is very difficult to be considered music by any stretch of the word,
RAP is actually Rhythym and poetry... piss poor poetry, which was at one time very unique, until the second or third RAP spitter became popular, then it went south, because everything done since that very first one, has the same lyrics, just shifted around to a different computer beat.
RAP is popular because too many white juveniles want to fit in by appearing to be a "gangsta" or a "playa" because they listen to it.
RAP is popular with young blacks because it talks about the only things that many of them truly understand: poor speech, lack of formal education, lack of respect for themselves and anyone who doesn't look act and talk like them.
RAP exemplifies the "herd instinct" to look, talk, think and dress alike, just like the military, or the police, like one big "Gang mentality"... ie; no sense of individuality, which, of course means that RAP lovers need leadership, like sheep, and other bovines, thus, they follow the "lead" of the uneducated, unintelligent "wish they could be" musicians/poets.
RAP and it's popularity is proof of the sorry state of America, now that the uneducated, morally void have set a trend that has gained a massive following of ignorant youth.
The onset of this trend was the mid-1970's, when corporal punishment was outlawed in the public school system.
