boring and bogus rap rocks
I'm not a fan of rap - the music is always crap. Sure, it's about the lyrics, but folk music unites every instrument so fluidly. I care more about the background music than the singer/lyricist. I also listen to a lot of instrumental music as well. It's about the music for me, rather than the singer.
Also, no insult to rap - there are plenty of respectful, modest rappers but I find many rappers are self entitled asses. They think the world owes them and it really shows in their lyrics. At least that's the case with chart toppers. I find I enjoy the rappers that never make the big time, their music is modest and honest, full of passion.
