This is not meant to sound like a question imposing any view at all, I'm just wondering for those of you who like hip hop and rap or have friends who do and you can understand its attraction, why do people listen to hip hop so much? Why is it the most popular music played at high school dance? How do you tell the songs apart? I can't understand the 'magic' of hip hop I guess you call it, since I dont like it, but of course everyone else feels differently...thanks for your suggestions...

because its cheesy "cool persons" music, most peopel are wannabe blacks these days because theyre "cool" so they play all their type of music.

btw im not a racist you will find its a very realistic view on the popular youth culture of now

I have to agree with you 100%

I am sorry to see all the people who think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread to look like a bum...

on the other hand, i can understand why people like Hip Hop -i do not like it- since you can 'Bump and grind' to it a lot..

Yeah, it's the trend now and people do it usually to fit in. You won't find many rap fans talking about actual aspects of the new CD they bought, they'll just say "its dope" er some shit like that whereas someone who buys a new trance vinyl will be like, "I love the sequences and 303s and the breakdown."

I'm talking about most of the rap out today. I actually respect people like 2pac and Biggy because they were amazing poets but the rap today is really a bunch of shit...talking about pretty much the same things over and over (drugs and guns and girls). Not saying it's all rap but most of it.

tupac and biggy spouted the same BS as now, only they're respected because they did it before others had a chance to.

and like others have said, it's a trend for insecure people who want to be "with it" (whatever the fuck that means). I don't listen to any hip hop whatsoever, if i ever did find a song that had a beat i liked, it'd be ruined by some jackass talking about fucking my ho or flossin his ice or something equally lame. i have a few friends who listen to it along with other genres, they're good guys, and that's just what they prefer , maybe they don't take the lyrics seriously who knows. anyways, they call me a fagwopgino for listening to trance and I call them fagsheepwiggers for listening to hip hop and in the end we all get high and have fun together, so I guess that's all that matters.

OK, had something to add here:

Hiphop WAS a respectable genre back in the 80s when it first started. People were doing it for the music and not the money and it was underground. Slowly hiphop declined into the commercial crap it is today...hopefully this will never happen to trance *knocks on wood*

i dont mind it that much. it is alright but i hate it when i go to a party or a club and they play hiphop i get so pissed off. this is not club music people but thats the way it is in the us hiphop. i wish they would stop playin it in the clubs and give trance a chance.

and yeah to be cool u have to listen to loud ass hiphop when u r rollin thats crap imo

laterz...

keep trance alive lol

i like Rap. that means Gangsta rap...

i like it because the lyrics are funny to me, but mainly...the RHYMES!! I like a good fast rhyme, or a slow nice rhyme to the beat.

and I LOVE Eminem. to me, Dre is like one of the best producers, and Em has very good rhymes. (he can freestyle too!!!)

some goodies:

Mr. Pookie - Smoke One
Eminem - Drug Ballad/Criminal/Marshall Mathers
Dr. Dre - Xxplosive

and a new goodie:

Nas - One Mic

Come on guys, give me a break. All of your are saying the EXACT same things that people who don't like trance say to you!. sone guy said rap is too repetive, what the hell do you think trance is? if anything, trance is more repetitive than rap! Don't get me wrong, I don't like rap/hip hop at all but that's solely because i just don't feel an affinity towards it. I like Rock and trance music just because for some reason I can connect with the music. I can't do that with rap music. don't go around being big hypocrites alright?
