I can respect that… but I can’t imagine listening to Protect Ya Neck by Wu-Tang and not getting hyped af to that. If you haven’t heard it I highly recommend it, even the censored version is cool because they use guitar riffs as censors
Obviously you’re free to dislike how genres sound but I feel like that’s an oversimplification of the genre. It’s not just people saying words really fast, there are plenty of slower rappers. It’s more about the flow and the wordplay not to mention there’s a decent amount of artists that do a sing/rap thing at the same time.
same here, I try to listen to rap music every now and then but I just can’t get into it at all. I think I’m generally more into the instrumental part of a song rather than the vocals. And since rap is like 90% about the vocals I just find it hard to enjoy.
While I do like some fast shit I agree that particularly these days a lot of spaces in the genre is oversaturated with people trying to stuff as many syllables as they possibly can into a line with little regard to A) saying something of substance or B) making music that sounds good.
I don’t know what you might possibly be into but there are definitely some really good artists that take their time with what they say.
It depends on the artist. The mainstream industry stuff is crap, but there’s a lot of good stuff out there. If you want some artistic or thought provoking stuff I recommend Aesop Rock (particularly Labor Days), Dead Prez (the first album), Mos Def, and Atmosphere.
Rap. No hate to fans, but it’s just people saying words really fast. If I wanted that stuff I’d listen to speeches at 2x speed or something.

I like rap, but feel the same way sometimes. It really depends on the artist if it sounds like that I feel like.
