Most of it sounds like profane Baby Talk, but with a (stolen) beat.

Exactly. I don’t listen to it for a variety of reasons, but the primary one is that is just... SUCKS.

No reconsideration.

You could put the Lord’s Prayer into hip-hop, and the music would wreck it.

Hey, I can get behind that, now that polka and bagpipe music is so very popular in the hoods.

I usually don’t like the genre at all

"...This remains an unfortunate blind spot for a political movement with a checkered record on race..."

Well. Glad I skimmed all the way to the bottom.

I should reconsider?

Well ... I would worry about cultural appropriation, so ...

No. I still won’t have anything to do with it.

When it appeared in the late 80’s I gave it a couple of years at most.

Yes there is some hip-hop that is decent, but most hip-hop promotes promiscuous sex, objectifying women as sex objects, drugs, criminal acts, and the use of racial terminology. I’m not going to support a genre of music that for the most part is trash.

While I listen to select songs of hip-hop, the genre as a whole is trash.

I do listen to some 1960s anti-war songs because it is good music given though the lyrics are not to my political taste. These songs are mixed in my 1960s and 1970s playlists with other awesome songs from those eras.

Hip-hop is not music it is just noise - and the lyrics are offensive, not just disagreeable. Isn’t it past time for hip-hop to die off and be replaced by real music?
