Re: why do you like the music you like?
I'm a lyrics fan and that would explain why I like rap. But mainstream rap is just so bad that I can't listen to it. It annoys me to no end. I look at rap as an artform, a combination of poetry and music and these mainstream rappers have destroyed the artistic nature of the genre and turned it into cookie cutter, record label manufactured garbage IMO. Oh well.
Beats are important I would say but to me a great beat just can't save poor lyrics.
Me and DaveT probably have opposite views in it that I think a crappy beat can be surpassed by some creative lyrics. And the Roots are the [censored]. Go ?uestlove and Black Thought (one of the most underrated rappers out there)
