Why do people enjoy rap?

>>70166176
white guilt
peer pressure
stockholm syndrome
familiarity
makes their parents upset

>>70166176
I enjoy music about thugs and killing people, I love the beats, rappers who write really good rhymes sound awesome to me.

>>70166176
I know this is a troll thread but I agree
Rap is outplayed today, every scrawny nerd and their mother is now a "producer" of generic shitty trap beats on soundcloud
hardly anyone involved in the industry is an actual musician that can play any instruments or put together a composition
Rap today is what classic rock became in the 90s - over-saturated, overly commercial, and highly unoriginal

>>70166176
>>70166207
haha holy shit butthurt white guys circlejerking institutionalised racism

You can madlibs this into any genre. If you're listening to top 40 radio schlock it's your own faggot fault, faggot.

>>70166239
nobody can refute this
even "genius" rappers like kendrick lamar have to start borrowing from other genres in order to keep people interested
in 10 years nobody will care about rap anymore, there's literally nowhere the genre can go at this point

>>70166176
0/10 shit bait apply yourself

>>70166495
name one (1) ONE good rap song

ironic racism aside I enjoy plenty of African music

>Rap?! psshh.... the music of unintelligent swine. Nothing but nonsense about hoes, clothes and sex - progressive rock is the intellectual's choice.

stop listening to trap then

if you get Steve Reich, then you get rap

rap is more about fun with intertwining rhythms than fun with intertwining melodies

--That's not to imply that rock doesn't have rhythm or that rap doesn't have melody.

But like:

classical->jazz->rock/blues->rap

at each level you're increasingly de-emphasizing melody and increasingly emphasizing rhythm and wordplay

This is a bunch of pseudo intellectual bullshit, but it's pretty correct pseudo intellectual bullshit desu. gj anon

The thing that gets me the most is that only rap music truly made it... It's only rap music whit its message that reached out the people... nothing ever came close not even rock not even pop... maybe pop but you know rap started from nothing... while pop was always sellout... from the start... rap made it by rap music only.

christ, anything that makes you insecure has to be "white guilt," doesn't id

Money Boy is actually autistic and all this is a joke. He went to a university to. But nowadays he goes by the name of "Why SL know plug" and still makes his meme rap music. He's like the German Lil B. Dude is pretty smart though, he's in his mid 30s and he knows current American slang and music extremely well, and he spreads this to his German speaking audience and he is the origin of much slang the German youth today uses.

>>70168316
Yes and he has my respect for doing this shit for that long. Didn't know he was autistic though.

>unless its the kind of autism that makes you really good at something, in this case lyricism.

>>70168451
The nostalgia, lmao. This was ridiculed everywhere on German internet forums around 2011.
I doubt many people here can relate though

>>70168316
>German Lil B
I'm okay with this

because it's the least crusty lip genre

>inb4 someone pulls up that pic of jay z sleeping

>>70168537
2011 is at least 4 years past internet nostalgia era

Rap is a pretty good way of finding/cultivating producers from unexpected areas which leads to a lot of variety you dont see in some other genres.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GP-_Q83Uqw (couldn't find instrumental of this one)

Honestly if you are in it for "serious" lyricism (see also: spiritual lyrical miracle individual) youre gonna have a bad time.

If you don't take it seriously there are plenty of good rappers you can just accept as another instrument/part of the whole.

Also frankly, and this is kind of what did it for me early on, some rappers just have more interesting backstories than performers from any other genre. It naturally piques peoples curiosity. Example: 21 pilots is a bunch of college kids from Ohio who were big into reading. Gucci mane literally killed a man after getting ambushed by a group of dudes sent by another rapper while he was seeing a prostitute. (see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFbPWdtDvNQ). Chief keef literally has shot music videos hours after killing people while on house arrest. This genre of rap offers a glimpse into a world that seems like its out of a bad movie and it tends to feed into this image of itself too because it knows thats a big part of it popularity. Naturally people like this even though its low entertainment

Also rap kind of is an embodiment of the "american dream" for a lot of people (albeit kind of for the worse). Taylor swift went to private school and had connections, in the industry, a lot of rappers were literally just dudes off the street from some of the lowest parts of society. To other people in that situation thats pretty, falsely, inspiring and so that makes up another portion of raps popularity.

Also a lot of people like bass. so theres that.

that sounds genuinely inspiring, desu

>>70169699
wrong (you), sorry. I'm pretty drunk.

>>70166176
>4/4 tempo
rap is intended to be dance or at least head-bopping music
>boring and repetitive
that's why the genre changes up a lot
>all songs have the same cliche lyrics
not if you listen to good rappers
>the rappers are 95% assholes who just talk about hoes, clothes and sex
that's masculinity, yes it does get old
>5% WE WUZ KANGZ-tier "conscious rap"
suck my dick

>>70169699
Its falsely inspiring because it really isnt the right path to pursue if you yourself want to move up, so few people actually make it and the lifestyle they promote really is at odds with tried methods for success. There are too many amateur rappers now because of this.
Obviously not all rap is like this but as far as the whole chicago scene goes this is kind of an issue
