No
Not a big fan of music.

Turn your hat around, pull up your pants and get a job!!

I HATE RAP! IT'S A DISCRACE TO THE PEOPLE OF MY GENERATION! WHO WOULD WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SAME BEAT OVER AND OEVER AGAIN AND HEAR ABOUT DRUGS AND KILLING PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO STUPID TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE! IT IS A WASTE OF TIME! THERE IS NO SKILL IN IT! AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL CORRECTLY! WOW! THAT'S JUST WANTING TO DUMB DOWN PEOPLE'S KNOWLEDGE! I WOULD RATHER MAKE SOMETHING GOOD OUT OF MY LIFE!

it is very intresting to learn about RAP and hip-pop.

HIP HOP ROX

there no turn off greater than seeing a real cutie rolling up listening to that (C)rap... rap turns super models into unfuckable hags... nuff said

i dont like rap but i like hip-hop

... has reintroduced literacy and poetry to popular music. (...and culture?)

The worst. Seriously, people listen to utter crap.

There's some good hip hop music out there, but the majority is just garbage.

bad and terrible type of music.

Too loud, bad words, but fun to listen to

My parents don't like it, but I do. I listen to it when I can. Although its hard because I'm technically not allowed to, but I like it.

I prefer rock, but hip-hop is good too

Not my kind of music, sorry.

Drivel

A good style of music but I prefer rock and roll

great hy yar

real rap i love it i just dont like that negative shit....

A beat, alone, with spoken words, is not music. I don't care what Wiki or *Any*pedia says to the contrary.

ehhhh

Actually, rapping began with folks on the street just talking and "shooting the breeze" on a daily basis in the late '60's. The term was then associated with talking on recordings by the younger generation. I rapped every time I went out and meet up with any interesting character. We spoke frankly and passionately about current events, the weather, our kids, our jobs, etc. Thus, rapped!

Maybe I'm an old fart, but this all sounds the same to me. I take some comfort from the fact that my teenage kids feel the same way.

I can't listen to it. It all sounds the same...monotonously bad and non-musical...the people who perform it, whatever their race, are interchangeable in terms of their dress and mannerisms, and, at the risk of sounding like a closet elitist, it bothers me when people I've never heard of performing "music" I wouldn't listen to if you paid me live in opulent mansions and drive 4 or 5 BMW's. African Americans have been responsible for the best music, and I have to imagine that somewhere Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and Johnny Ace are rolling over in their graves whenever this dreck gets played.

Sorry...no can do!!

yes

I wish it would just fade away. I dont see that happening tho.

Just my personal opinion... Watermelon is the number one fruit I cannot stand

Yes, I am white AND I can appreciate rap. Early rap used to be so intelligent and appealing. Honestly about self expression and unique style. That is the hip hop I respect and am into. That said, if I hear ONE more song about jiggling asses and getting "low" I might vomit.

Too general. Most rap is shit, some is fantastic.

hell ya

I have always disliked rap. It just isn't my thing, I don't understand the appeal or how people consider it music. But for the most part I am most offended by the violent, racist, and misogynistic rap.

the greatest form of music ever created. Thank god 4 hiphop and god bless hiphop

love it

not my thing but i do like some. just hate when they recycle ecothers lyrics and repeat only three words if that through a whole song i mean yuck.

dont like rap

what?

I am still trying to figure out why this servile garbage is on a list called Types of Music.

I like music

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ili

rap's the best music out there man!!!!!!!!!!!

Good ! I like listen Hip hop ,it let me so excited!

HATE main stream hip hop/rap. do dig me some underground and a lil scratchy scratchy on them turn tables.

Not one my fave musics

well hip-hop good rap bad

Personally I don't like it. There is a reason for it being here.

it's all about hip hop

In the 1980's, Chuck D of the group Public Enemy famously said that rap music was the CNN for inner city blacks.  20 years later he noted that in the hands of the current popular rap acts like Diddy, Kanye West, 50 Cent et al it has become the Playboy Channel.  I think he may have used a few expletives when he said it too. 
It should be noted that the actual form of rap goes way back to the 30's and was originally called the talking blues.  Practioners included Leadbelly, John Lee Hooker, Sonny and Terry, Woody Guthrie and up into the 60's Bob Dylan (Subterranean Homesick Blues, Talkin' Word War 3 Blues) and Lou Reed.

I rarely go to Wikipedia --- opinions of people are fine but the information isn't always accurate

guess there is an audience for rap and hip hop. not a fan myself. they do not have to worry though since it appears there are a lot of fans out there to keep them in business.
