Why do people like hip hop?

to me its just crap! i think the only reason people listen to it is because thats what is "cool." its all about drugs, and sex. yay? i dont even consider hip-hop or rap music at all! it sucks, and makes no sense at all!

I would rather listen to hip hop (gag, choke, cough, sputter) than rap witch has not sense in it at all. I am not entirely sure why it is even called music since there is nothing in it whatsoever that has to do with music. I love harmony, a good voice, and the blending of instruments whether it be by a symphony or a rock band, but it is getting harder and harder to find. Now it is all this garbage with rap and hip hop with nothing but trash and whining for lyrics. Sad..when the older bands stop playing, we won't have music left. Good question!!

That's your opinion. And no one really cares what you think. Deal with it.
because it gets you in the mood to party and dance all night
I DON'T KNOW BUT FOR ALL I CARE I LISTEN TO BLACK METAL
Brain dead
I have no idea...it's garbage...a lot of it insites hate...no use for it at all
i like rap music, n u suc!
I don't listen to the words, I just like the beat
You may be right. The beats are what I listen to it for.
Ok, I like hip-hop but not rap. It is something that I can dance to.
I don't like the lyrics,

but I love the creativity of rhyming words
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Some people like it! That doesn't mean u have to! But to be honest, Hip Hop and Rap aren't the only genres of music that talk about sex and drugs. Rock songs do too! Everybody keeps talking about how they just like the beat but if you find the right artist then the lyrics can be just as good! Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Common, etc.
i like the beat.
Apperantly you are too fat to dance to it then. You wouldn't know good music if it bit ya on the rear end! =P
the beat is fun and alive. i dont really like the lyrics and i dont consider it "real" music. but it sfun to hear.
The beat is what we all like, bass and rhymes, just makes you wanna move. I like all music besides classical, but metal and some rock is just good, but really doesn't make me wanna move.... Just head bang!! :)
because its their personal preference...stop judging people and how they go about their lives
To each his own. I was into hip-hop long before it became so mainstream. I personally can't stand hard rock music and don't get the appeal either. Different strokes for different folks. Hip hop is what makes me want to shake my rump. It de-stresses me after a sucky day at work. I love it!
I couldn't agree more!!

It's especially sad to hear little kids singing the lyrics about crack, sex, pimps and hoes that they don't even understand.
The only reason I like hip-hop music is the beat. IF you take all the words out and just leave the music, I would love it equally if not more!!!!! Rap on the other hand is supposed to be called Crap...this I agree.
yaah it pretty much is sex and stuff

but there is some cool hip hop and rap out there with a christian message. they aren't half bad but i prefer rock.

i dont know why the government allows that hip hop music though its just pure crap. nothing good about it its bringing our society down.
because it a type of rythem that you can do cool dance moves with but if people dont like it i guess they usually have bad taste but if they do have good taste they would just thinks its annoying or something i cant blame them!!!!1
i feel the exact same way you do, but see, most people don't pay any attention to the lyrics and he meaning on the music, they are more into the beat and how they could move to the smotth sounds. i think it's $hit just like you do, but not everybody agrees with us....too bad.
I am a 53 year old white male. I don't get it. Of course it is not directed to me. My parents didn't understand Rock and Roll. Their parents didn't understand Swing Music. I am sure there is evidence of ancient civilizations not understanding their young children banging on the drum, "that way". Music is what's make us human.
I'm from the era when rap began...In the early 70's with the Sugar Hill Gang...Hip-Hop as they call it now is not the music but is the culture. People dress Hip-Hop they don't dress Rap.People emulate what rappers look like not always what they say. When I hear a rapper talk about the ghetto from whence he came from and then the cash.cars,jewelry for which he now has he is telling a story about his life. The problem with that is what?. Music is music you like some you love some you hate some but it all comes down to your preference. If every one liked everything what a dull world we would live in.
u really need to hatin and actullay listen 2 tha words and understand!!think before u act!!!
u suck. hip hop is good.
You obviously haven't heard much of a variety of rap/ hip hop. Show me a country song you can go to the club n dance to and not be line dancing and actually be doing your own thing and not looked at like your stupid. Its got rhythm to it it sounds good on a set of 15s in my trunk. Some of it I can relate to (and guess what those songs dont talk about sex and drugs!!)All of it makes no sense to you bc you haven't really listened to it. I guarantee I could find a song youd like. Someone I used to date thought the same thing you did guess what I prooved him wrong too found stuff he liked and continues to listen to.Even if you don't like it fine quit trashin it!I don't know what kind of music you like but how many other types do u see people puttin down and makin assumptions??
