When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
@souljasmooth that right.  The purpose of the original poster was never to actually get an answer. It was just say it's terrible. However, I listen to hip hop and mostly jazz.  I can respect any genre. Anyway enjoy your music.  I grew up on it and...

@souljasmooth You see this.  Thug this thug that.  We know that that means.  Anyway. I see that you listen by your suggestions.  You will not see much of that in these kind of forums.  You will get blanket statements and challenges to folks that m...

Well I think that the storytelling that once dominated the rap scene is gone. People are recording 5 songs and trying to get a million hits on YouTube. It's either a dance or fake tough guy rap. I don't like it at as much as I used to. I'm older a...
