I'm a music conservatory graduate. I spent years analyzing music for grades, so when I come across something that's garbage, I know. Rap music has the melodic complexity of a train horn (actually less; train horns often are tuned to a tritone, which seem to be absent in Rap) and the lyrical complexity barely goes beyond a 3rd grade vocabulary. Not only is this music intended for ignorant audiences, it's intended to provoke ignorant young people into committing crimes, in order to fill the for-profit prisons in the US. How's that for an unpopular opinion?

so you need a degree to tell good music from bad music, or has your school just ruined your ability to enjoy music.
I unironically don't like (modern day) rap (hip-hop is fine but I need more than just 'good' lyrics to deem a song likeable)

Nobody actually thinks rap is good. Left-leaning critics just praise it for being "Subversive"
its almost as if hip hop wasnt intended to be complex in the same ways that fucking bartok is. fuck off
>>71894898
because it's true. it's music for stupid people. there's a "stupid music" genre for all ethnicities:
>black people > rap
>whites > millenial whoop
>lationos > reggaeton
>gypsies > manele
>gooks > j/kpop
>indians > bhangra
>russians > blatnaya pesnya
