well, judging from your comment, you seem to believe the stereotype that all rap is about the ghetto, drugs, and b1tches....which yes i agree, suburban kids know nothing about.
but you're obviously only hearing what clear channel or mtv plays.
as i've mentioned before, try listening to: the roots, talib kweli, common, de la soul, mos def, black eyed peas, etc.
i dont feel like im a wannabe for listening to that music. they are rapping about life, some good, some bad, but i can relate to most of it.

this makes ZERO sense.
so you're saying if I came up to you, you told me you listen to rock(just rock, no subgenre for purpose of point). and I go, "man rock sucks, simple plan, good charlotte, etc. are fvcking terrible, therefore all rock sucks" you woudln't think thats ignorant?
this is exactly what your doing, taking the whole genre for whats played on mtv and bet.
you're an idiot

I don't understand the hatred many here have for rap. I don't like country music at all, but I don't make the leap of logic that it therefore sucks because it doesn't suit my tastes nor put down others for listening to it. I'm beginning to think the reasoning is that it's a more socially acceptable means of voicing racism.

it's because of the derogatory connotation it gets because it "exploits women."

yes, it does that too much because people want to see girls dancing in scantily clad clothing. If the execs believed that not showing women would increase revenues, they would stop in a heart beat.
