“Yes. It all sucks. It takes no talent to jump around like a chi!^^p and rhyme "words". There are no instruments for the most part. It is base. Vulgar. Degrading.
And I can't believe how pervasive it is. Invasive like kudzu vine into the culture of this country.
Disgusting, destructive, mindless, obnoxious, crap.”

“News flash: Rap has always sucked and has always been retarded.
Rap appeals to the lowest common denominator. It requires no thought, a minimal ability to form semi-coherent set of rhymes, and enough technical skill to turn on a beat box. I won't even get into sampling.
Rap has been lowering IQ, encouraging criminal behaviour, and generally skanking up the country since the first "artist" managed to stumble through a drug fueled recording session without overdosing or getting arrested.”
