>>73569242
rap/hip-hop is not music
rock is objectively the worst music genre
>>
well yes
>>
Metal and country are up there as well.
>>
It's the genre with the greatest disparity between its best and worst material without doubt
>>
>>73569253

There decent rock bands, rap/hip-hop is the worst, rock probably third or fourth
>>
>>73569301
you asked 'Is rap/hip-hop objectively the worst music genre ever?'
rap/hip-hop is not even music so it can't be the worst

on the other hand rock is objectively the worst music genre, and if you disagree you're either retarded or a child
>>
>>73569316
t. listens to Aphex Twin, Miles Davis and Steve Reich thinking he knows shit
>>
>>73569316
can't be the worst music genre*
>>
>>73569330
>Aphex Twin, Miles Davis and Steve Reich are the only non-rock musicians and non-rappers I know
that's expected from a rockfag
>>
>>73569330
Or you know Mozart, Wagner, and Debussy
>>
>>73569345
nice damage control
>>73569347
Yes that was my point, entry-level composers
>>
>>73569330

Worst music power rank

1. Rap/Hip Hop
2. Bro-Country/Country Pop
3. Metal
4. Rock

>>73569361
I don't think you understand what damage control is

>>73569355
You can't even name these 'entry-level' composers yourself, because you know they negate hip-hop as music and rock music as art.
>>
>>73569379
That doesn't make any sense. If you really think i'm going to do an exhaustive list of all the composers I know in order to prove to someone that his taste is generic, you're missing the point
>>
>>73569379
>they negate hip-hop as music and rock music as art.
Genuine autism right here lads.
>>
>>73569389
why are rockfags so retarded, that's literally rapfags level retardation
you cant prove someone elses taste is generic by posting the list of composers you know if the other one hasnt posted their one
>>
>>73569242
Yes

>>73569272
Best point, didn't think about it this way. For every good hip-hop artist (MF Doom, Madlib, J Dilla, genuine eccentrics with a unique take on their music) there's at least 50 times more a terrible overhyped artist (Kanye, Young Thug, Travis Scott)

It's called culture you nigger. For the record your people used to have it. It's called jazz. Listen to Coltrane you ghetto sack of shit.
>>
>>73569411
>Kanye, Young Thug, Travis Scott

Nah nigga you just don't know how to listen to them properly.
>>
>>73569416
>top 40 shit

>>
>>73569411
i don't think you could consider Kanye anything but a "genuine eccentric," regardless of your feelings on his music.
>>
>>73569408
Why are you so angry friend? You really seem to have an unreasonable hate towards rock music

>>73569414
>it's called culture
>listen to Coltrane
Like pottery.
>>
>>73569438
You could always listen to Porgy and Bess, but that was written by white people.
>>
>>73569444
Your point is?
>>
>>73569438
Rock is the worst music genre, so the hate is not unreasonable
>>
>>73569424
>popular music = bad
Why don't you leave this board until you can formulate your own opinions on music.
>>
>>73569464
Where did the rockist touch you
>>
it's funny how rockists react on people who shit on rock the same way rockists shit on rap
>>
man i feel like i have seen this thread about a trillion times
>>
>>73569494
From my perspective, only the anti-rockfags sperged out like true autists ITT

these people deserve each other.

t. rockist
literally the same levels of autism on the both sides

How do you listen to shit properly?

>>73569429
Fair point

>>
>>73569551
Learn to appreciate what the focus of the music is. Too many people focus on the lyrics when they listen to Kanye, Thug, and Travis, and then they think they suck because the lyrics are trash, even though the lyrics aren't the main focus of their music. Their unique style of production (and Thugger's vocal experimentation) is.
>>
Yeah but Gira is still a piece of shit rapist
>>
Just a friendly reminder that 25 years from now, nobody will be listening to Kendrick Lamar, but people will still be listening to Radiohead
>>
If you think there is such a thing as a "worst music genre" (genre, not subgenre)
then you're ignorant when it comes to music and art i ngeneral
>>
ITT white nigger cucks

Hopsin doesn't rap about money and fucking bitches, look him up.

bait

I was going to write something like this when i saw this thread.
>>
>>73569588
Unique style? You mean uniquely bad style.
>>
>>73569588

>the lyrics aren't the main focus of their music

If lyrics aren't the main focus in rap/hip hop, then they should release instrumental albums, instead of regurgitating the same dumb lyrics in every album
>>
>>73569690
"Hopsin"
>>
>>73569637
I'm sure people said that about 2pac and Wu-Tang

If one of the main features of Hip-Hop is it's lyricism then that should be good, or at least the artist should try to be good at it. You cannot deny someone like Kanye's lyricism has gone from alright to downright awful, more lazy and more phoned in with each album. Artists like Young Thug are most improvised singers than anything, and Travis Scott also has a ridiculously low effort approach to rapping, to the point where said rappers are more focused on having their lines be melodic and catchy. That's just basically pop music.

You can't have an album of say, jazz music, and say "yeah the said artist's piano playing fucking sucks BUT the drums are pretty good!" You have to at least attempt to make an effort on all fronts. If you dislike a rapper's lyrics and style of rapping but like the instrumental then, guess what, you like the producer, not the actual rapper.

>>73569414
Absolute retard. Your mind seems to have remained stuck in puberty.
>>
I was 12 when I grew out of hip hop
>>
>>73569366
I agree with this list, but rock has a shit of sub genres, does that include all of them?
>>
>>73569242
yes

the only reason people like it is because they think liking black music makes them look cool
>>
Yeah
>>
>>73570345
Are you even trying to speak english?

>>73569242
Its obviously metal,and country, are you fucking kidding me
