I've never been a big "hip hop guy", and I've been trying to give the genre a chance but I find almost nothing redeemable about it. Even the most acclaimed artists do nothing for me and it all sounds pretty much the same. The production might vary but the basic idea is all the same. I am not a fan of the lyrics either, and the "money hoes drugs" thing might be a stereotype but I would really love a hip hop album that DIDN'T have a song about these things. Every single album I've heard has at least one song that references "hoes money weed police" and says "nigga". Frankly, I can't see how people find this entertaining. Am I looking in the wrong places?
everybody in the hood knows that your sister lick a booty real good

Most of rap is mood music.
You need to look deeper for intellectuals hip-hop/rap cuz they're very marginalized and the most mainstream is probably like Kendrick, Common, and Mos def. Underground intellectual raps exist but they are highly ignored (Krit, Mic Jenkins, Jay Electronica)
Yeah rap is crap.
Try rock, dad.

All rap is shit except MF DOOM

OP here
Yeah he's not bad and neither is Nujabes or Flying Lotus
But these guys are mainly producer/DJs right?
>>70865767
flying lotus raps under the name captain murphy
>>70865767
DOOM is also a producer, but not mainly; you'd be thinking of Madlib. cLOUDDEAD are really neat too, btw.

You're wasting your time, OP.
Deep, intellectual rap is always brought up like this >>70865741 any time somebody calls out the stupid/juvenile nature of rap, and the fact that it has lower standards of quality than any other major genre, but it doesn't exist. It's just a meme.
There is nothing wrong with writing off the entire genre.
