Some reasons why "Ignorant" people show negativity towards hip-hop and its music., Do you agree or disagree? Options

Just came across some comments from people towards rap music ..

1) "There is no such thing as rap "music'. The stuff they call music is garbage. Anyone creating this junk is no musician by any stretch of the imagination. Trust me when I say that I don't ever intentionally listen to it. It's worse than the disco craze of the seventies and I hope it goes away too.

That's why. K."

2) "Rap music sucks. It was only introduced for the folks who could not sing or really play instruments. The lyrics are terrible and really just dumb. Rap is definately for the weak minded and anyone who has never had any real morals. IT IS NOT MUSIC, IT IS JUST PLAIN CRAP. One day in the future when future generations rate the music of the past I would be ready to bet they will find Rap to be the most stupid sound ever produced even surpassing "DISCO".

3) I can't stand rap music. I won't tolerate it at all. The main reason is because it degrades and demeans women. It's a joke."

If you agree with them, your an idiot. Don't be fooled by their such "witty" comments. Damn ignorant white people ..

I think your pretty "damn ignorant" for assuming it's all white people. I know plenty of black, Asian, and Hispanic people who don't listen to rap because they do think it's garbage. Jason, I'm not try to "diss" but, get a life. I'm tired of seeing your childish rants litter these forums.

People have opinions. Some people like rap, others don't. Some like rock, others don't. Get used to it. It's part of life. You sitting here and whining about it isn't making a difference. In all honestly, I DO agree with those people, although the way they say it is a little extreme. It does take some talent, but not a whole lot that I can tell. You can walk into a studio anywhere if you have some cash, have some guy generate blipps and bloops on his computer, and rhyme into a mic.

LOL, rap doesn't encourage pot? Every other rap song on the radio is talking about "Smokin' dat purp" and "Stayin' up." All the pics of Snoop Dog and "Fiddy" and all those other rappers like them with their picture taken with fat blunts in their hands. Honestly, more "gangsters" at my school smoke pot than white people.

I disagree with the way people are going about the argument, but they do have a point. It all comes down to opinion. If that's what they want to think, even if you do think it's ignorant, you're not going to change their mind and honestly, you making these stupid claims like "damn ignorant white people" makes you look just as ignorant and it makes you look like a hypocrite.
