Does anyone else find rap too rude to be enjoyable

[bobito]

I have tried to get into rap numerous times, its the main genre that evades me, primarily due to the lyrical content which i just find too abrasive. A question for rap fans, how do you cope with the constant aggression, do you enjoy it or choose to annoy it. Do you ever find it impacts your mood?

All genres have a lot of garbage. If a song is too rude or violent I just don't listen to it.

 

[Persona7]

Rap is a large genre with many different types of moods.

 

[Squall5042]

Can't get into rap either, not sure if its the content or the general lack of melody (from the stuff I've heard). It sucks since it's super popular right now and I can't stand most of it.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

If you think it's rude now, lol lol. You probably would've fainted during the East/West war.

J Cole - Forest Hills Drive

hmmm he still says nigger constantly.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Not all rap is rude.

This is true OP. I wouldn't be the best one to ask because I'm sure there are more knowledgeable people here when it comes to rap. But I'm sure someone could recommend you rap that isn't all about being rude or arrogant.

 

[CrushDance]

What...isn't your avatar from Mad Men? You didn't find any of that rude? No portrayals, words, themes that made you shake your head? It's art.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

I find Rock music to be too pure to be enjoyable

 

[spindashing]

hmmm he still says nigger constantly.

Oh.

 

[commedieu]

The stuff on the radio blows balls.

This goes for all genres.

bruh.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

I decided from here on out to only listen to new music that's upbeat. I'll listen to crude and angsty shit, but only if it's from my youth and conjures memories of my youthful shenanigans.

Buts its not just the a song... its all of it! You can't seriously expect OP to not have an opinion on everything based on his limited exposure. Its not fair

[Kingpin Rogers]

I don't listen to much rap nowadays but I've never found myself being bothered my the rude language in rap.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Yeah I don't like modern rap either. I'm creeping up on age 30 though so I guess it's just not for me.

Hyped artist like Kendrick and J Cole are so boring to me. I could never listen to a full album of either of them whereas I could listen to ob4cl twice in a row no problem.

 

[sparkeysam]

hmmm he still says nigger constantly.

Ummmm...

 

[jordan0386]

What type of safe music do you currently listen to that would impede enjoyment of rap?

 

[Herbs]

I really like Hit 'Em Up.

 

[dralla]

I don't listen to a ton of rap, but check out Kid Cudi. It's not aggressive or rude in the least

 

[Numb]

Rap is not only about about that.
It is so vast that you can find what you are looking for easily and avoid this.

 

[Einchy]

nujabes?

Indeed.

Maybe you should listen to Christan rap or gmcfosho if you dont want harsh language.

 

[Tenebrous]

Don't know much about rap, but this is a pretty cool tune.

"I'm here for the money."

 

[CrushDance]

Why do people always single out rap for this shit? Oh it's misogynistic, it's violent, it's angry, it's rude. Boy oh boy.

 

[bobito]

What type of safe music do you currently listen to that would impede enjoyment of rap?

I listen to nearly all types of music tbh.

For clean rap Lecrae is recommended:

BTW you're not supposed to say/write the n-word, that is considered rude here.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Go listen to Chance the Rapper or something.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

hmmm he still says nigger constantly.

 

[Livingskeletons]

hmmm he still says nigger constantly.

Is this the equivalent of all metal bands scream or yell?

 

[The Auxiliary]

[NerdEyeBlind]

Any musical genre can be rude, depending on the artist and/or the listener.

Problem is that mainstream rap is almost all rude. You shouldn't have to search to find the stuff that's not

But all metal bands do scream.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

I do find there's often a tonal thing that keeps me from getting into a lot of stuff in the genre, yeah.
