Why did we let hip hop become mainstream?

Hip Hop is dying, shouldn't be problem for much longer

it was "danceable"

and taste is relative

You may hate it and i may hate it but some cretin down the block might like it and kaboom- the cretin tells his friends about it. Pretty soon the block is playing the abomination.

Lol

You lived through the Beatles and Metal Bands and those horrible screeches of scary looking people singing and breaking guitars on stage.

Hip hop is lame

and tame compared to your generation.

Hohum. Listening to it makes me want to have a nap.

Same reason rock became mainstream? But because it is predominately black so there is an issue huh? hip hop= exercise of free speech, like every other music.

Most music today is garbage.

I distinctly remember my parents saying the same thing about 60's and 70's music. Hell, my grandfather thought Elvis was the devil in disguise. lol

Rap didn't start out like that. Don't you remember Curtis Blow, Sugar Hill gang, and the like?

I think once gangster rap hit the seen, it led to what we have today... People just didn't magnify that kind of stuff before gangster rap.

You nailed it. Give me some old Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters any day but this crap is grating on my nerves

Well, I am not a fan of the rap music....

BUT...Someone is buying it....If it makes money..It will survive...

I do agree that those idiots with their clown pants need to be euthanize...

It's because parents stopped beating their children. Kids grew up not knowing any better.

nobody is forcing you to listen either change the station or don't buy the cds problem solved

YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN
