Why do people hate and hip-hop? Do you hate it? Why?

Question:

Why do people hate and hip-hop? Do you hate it? Why?

Perhaps you do not realize that rap music is, aside from jazz, the only true american musical art from of the 20th century? That rock&roll and punk, opera, electronic, are all musical genres that are european imports. That rock itself has borrowed liberally from earlier music made by the American Negroes, namely jazz and blues. If you are a conservative, and you strive to be more American, you should immerse yourself in Rap, because rap is purely american; its viberance, its energy, its raw talent and impromptu nature, its youth, are all characteristics that exemplify the United States itself. What an amazing art form!

I don't know what you are talking about. Mainstream rap does nothing more than degrade women, promote violence and basically rot the mind. When it first emerged it did have something to say and there may be a few artists left that have a clue. For the most part it is simply mindless, violent, sexist crap.
