If you don't like hip hop, don't effing in listen to it. You don't need to go on some preteen rant about it in a thread. I don't like a lot of non-life affecting things but unless someone mentions it I don't start a thread about it. Real hip hop is arguably the rawest & most honest expression you are ever likely to hear in a musical genre. If you can't get your head around the chart aimed pop aspect or just can't get over the fact it isn't talentless-but-catchy-feel-good pop sh*t, I reiterate, Don't listen to it. Tnhere are times when you should voice your distaste in things, important things, but there are times when you can & should just move on.
