Most rap music is so corny.
Why is it popular?
>>
>>82881039
I don't like rapping as a vocal style, but some oldschool rap could be kinda cool due to the creative beats, catchy bassline and nice synth melodies. That modern crap where it's just a hi-hat going click-click-clickity while a guy talks about how he has a lot of dollars in the bank and a very large penis though? No fucking clue about the appeal.

Human brains are degenerating and their standards have been lowered that if it has an interesting jungle beat they will dance to it like monkeys. This is why rap is predominant nigger music

hip hop is the dominant form of music because it resonates with people in our current time.
>built on sampling older material, just like how everyone is obsessed with the past and nothing is new anymore
>explicit lyrical content about poverty, luxury, sex, violence, things that are exciting to the majority of people for some reason or another.
yeah a lot of it really sucks, but it's easy to see why it's popular. it's like another symptom of our collective sickness.

Rap is not corny. It is just "Rhymes And Poetry" -> Abreviated it's called rap.

Rap is a medium for expression It's not cringe. Many songs are very profound. Examples below. CIA probably did some things to make rap less productive and positive, but when you listen to old school rap, they are undoubtedly political and poetic.

"Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
In another life, I surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
I care, I care
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
The better part, the human heart, you love 'em or dissect 'em
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
I don't trust people enough beyond their surface, world
I don't love people enough to put my faith in man
I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a band"

>PRIDE by kendrick lamar.

"Little something for my godson Elijah
And a little girl named Corin
Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare
2Pac cares if don't nobody else care
And I, I know they like to beat you down a lot
When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive, but don't forget, girl, keep ya head up
And when he tells you you ain't nothin', don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Cause, sister, you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas you up, I just call 'em how I see 'em
You know what makes me unhappy?
When brothers make babies
And leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up?
I know you're fed up, ladies, but keep ya head up"

Some old stuff is good and good stuff is still being made. But the vast majority of popular stuff on the charts is extremely corny to me as it's just bragging about doing dumb shit.
I don't get why people want to hear another guy bragging about the money he makes or the bitches he fucks or the drugs he's doing. No other way to describe that than corny.
>>
>>82881308
Also the whole constant rhyming thing is kinda lame desu.
>>
>>82881308
Agreed but with the caveat that mainstream pop music is almost always trash anyway.

Modern music is trash, that's why I stick to videogame OSTs

Rap can be sort of an edgy form of poetry. But the niggerbabble that is the most popular form of rap is just that, niggerbabble.

The pernicious and methodical niggerfication of society simple as

>>82881039
Because it's made almost exclusively by black men. You fail to realize how much Niggers are actually worshipped

>>82881039
Basically jews push it and own most of the music lables.

I listen to Eminem like a normie wigger, it's neat one of the top selling artists just really genuinely hated women.
>>
>>82881471

Wiggers love eminem because he emulates rap, but without compromising racial identity. Rap was never for blacks. It was for the struggling. Eminem was white trash, the withe equivalent of poor ghetto blacks. He could make white listeners connect to the struggle, even though they are not black.

Whn white people say Eminem is the goat, it kinda warms my heart. They know the struggle of being lower class, but they are too jaded to see it from a non-racepilled perspective

rap is cool if its cute japanese girls

People who enjoy pop music without thinking too deeply about it like vocalists, image, and personality most of all. They like a danceable beat, and they only want to hear the chorus, considering everything else boring.

Hip Hop is literally about a fashionable personality saying provocative things over a beat, with the catchiest part of a chorus sampled over and over. It's literally tailor-made for the unthinking masses.

There are some true artists who use that deconstructionist approach to music to do truly experimental things (Danny Brown, Ho99o9, Tricky), or use the format to construct a visionary artistic world (Tyler the Creator, MF DOOM, OutKast), or who are true poets (Aesop Rock, Lauryn Hill). However, they're the exception that elevates hip hop. In general, it's "music" for the lowest common denominator.

>>82881039
Because rap is the only acceptable outlet for men to express and connect with their masculinity without pushback from the current establishment.
