The hip-hop overdose

I agree with you entirely, even though I hated it in the first place.

I have a very wide taste in music, but hip-hop has never appealed to me in the slightest, and I've always found it agonisingly unpleasant to listen to.

The word content of a lot of hip-hop music I feel has done a lot more to damage the attitudes of young people than it has to improve them. The messages in some hip-hop songs may be good and valid (I have heard a few that are), but I feel the musical genre of hip-hop portrays such messages in a negative rather than a positive way.

I think mainstream hiphop is just awful these days. I like older stuff from the early and mid 90's and underground stuff. The underground stuff and a lot of the stuff from the bay area is much better. Creative beats and thoughtful intelligent lyrics just aren't a part of newer mainstream rap. I hate the new repetitive beats and someone yelling "hey...hey" over and over again in the background.

everyone depend on the artist.
