It's common on the internet, but I NEVER hear ANYONE bash mainstream rap in the real world. :robotsad:

I gladly say that I hate rap at my school.
And I don't care if anyone thinks I have no taste. :)
It's an embarassment to music.

I also make my intense hatetred of rap known
Rap FTL.
I started out liking it, but after hearing it every day for about 5 months, it kind of starts getting a little old.
Oh, god. I hate that song. :|
Anything but that.
All other songs > Rap > CRANK DAT SOULJA BOY > Country Music.
Actually:
Rock > Run DMC > All other songs > Country > Soulja Boy
It's alright...

I'm really tired of that song.
My English teacher did the dance during class one day. >_<
I hate hip-hop but not rap for example poetic rappers acctually have meanings in thier songs and don't really talk about how much better they are then everyone else or having sex with some stupid whore.....lol and I'm black :P
I hate rap...
I am not alone YES!!!
I hate almost all raps. there are only a few that dont suck. and thats it.
Of course you're not.
"Crank That" is a disgrace to music and shouldn't even be called music.
I like some rap and hip-hop but not trash like Soulja Boy.

Not nearly as old and "No one" by Alicia Keys. ::)
Soulja Boy was all right at first but after listing to it soo many times it just got boring.

It's not even rap. It's hip-hop.
It's a disgrace to the hip-hop/rap genre.
I hate it.
Give me aotp or weeeezy over that anyday.
I don't even consider it music. I would rather listen to nails clawing down a chalkboard than that. The kids at my school just won't shut up when it is playing and is so freak'n annoying in bussines tech!!!
Honestly, Soulja Boy makes "The Sound of Music" look good. And I HATE that video.
But really, rap isn't much of a genre for music anyway. Maybe just poetic form set to beat/rhythm, but it's never truly "music." Music is: an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. (as defined by dictionary.com). Note the and following the list of what music conveys (rhythm, melody, harmony, and color). If rap can only basically show form to rhythm and maybe melody, it still is missing 5 other elements to music (I know, I take piano lessons). Those would be form, timbre, texture, expression, and harmony. And may I add that the rap "genre" is VERY lacking in those aspects. Basically put them together to make one, you get the element that gives music it's distinctiveness, it's unique structure both internally and externally through harmonious or melodious sound. Why does rap not have this? I'll say it again, it's just poetic form set to beat/rhythm. I have heard soulja boy, and there are a few notes playing in the back to (I guess) a steel drum. But honestly, it's just three notes, the whole song. To make musical composition, you need to have a piece consisting of some type of structure. I am almost more than certain that we all know that these are also only considered the "back-up" notes, but what harmony is there to convey if you don't have a seperate melody? I may be referencing the romantic/baroque time period bit much, but honestly, music should have some translation between seperate time lines. It's the separate form given to musical pieces that give them their ability to be interpreted through different means of style, but honestly, for rap, it's always stuck in this most current time period, as it has no flavor, taste, or any reason to be considered music for that matter as I hope I have explained.
No, I hear it everywhere I go. It's really annoying.
This is amazing. This is exactly what I've been wanting to post for at least two months, but I could never find the words to say it. Kudos on being able to say this, because it's true.

You're welcome. I've been trying a way to put it into some different perspective than what I do when I try to explain verbally as to how rap isn't music (I have a weird habit of being able to convey my thoughts better through typing/writing them, not saying). You're not the only one who's relieved. ;)

Unless you are able to produce beats on the level of Stoupe, Necro, Southpaw, or any of the great producers I don't think you have the right to say what is music. also the site you cited also says rap is music http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=rap%20music
Rhythm: Of course rap has that
Melody: Used, go listen to "Dance" or "War" by Nas for just 2 examples.
Harmony: As the link below states, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony utilize it(oh look its in their name)
Color: "Sound refers to aspects such as pitch, tone, timbre, dynamics, and several others." Rap has that
http://www.collegetermpapers.com/TermPapers/Music/Musical_Characteristcs_of_Rap.shtml Read that
but I understand you heard a whole song and play the piano so you are now an expert on a whole genre and its subgenres.

It's fine if some one doesn't like a genre, it really annoys me if they try claiming that it's not music or that the entire genre sucks.
I can't stand Snap (a subgenre of rap, which is home to the poop that many people complain about: Soulja Boy, D4L, Dem Franchize Boyz), it's probably some of the worst stuff I've heard, but that in no way defines the entire rap industry.
It's like me saying that country isn't music and it sucks because I don't like it.
Or me saying that Rock isn't music and it sucks because I hate some artists in a certain subgenre, it's stupid. Using the transitive property also brings up some interesting and slightly humorous issues.
snap sucks and snap = rap, so rap sucks according to their logic.
but what about the genres that combine the two? Rap Rock (rapcore), Acid Rap, death rap? with that logic
snap = rap = rapcore = rock so because snap sucks, rap sucks, so rapcore sucks, so rock sucks.

i do too..
I hate Soulja Boy with a passion. I mean, what happened to real rap/hip-hop? I'm into the classics like Run-DMC, Davy DMX, Mantronix, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, ETC. People cant really dance these days. I mean, I'm a pop-locker and some people always say to me "Why dont you do the walk it out or crank dat Soulja Boy". I simply tell them " because it's gay!".

Major record labels decided it would be funny to get rid of it, and the radios joined in on the gag and decided not to play it on the radio.
