Let's face it, rap music sucks. Sure, there are exceptions such as "O.P.P." and "White Lines," but in general the genre sucks. So why is this the case? I posit it's because the majority of rappers are untalented hacks. From my exhaustive and highly scientific research into the rap music genre, I have concluded that a rap song will only be successful if it's subject matter is about at least one of the following:
- Bitches
- Hoes
- Skanks
- Tramps
- Harlots
- Floozies
- Sluts
- Hussies
- Prostitutes
Although the demeanor, mannerisms and social behavior of the human female in modern American society are frequent subjects of the genre, rap songs can also be successful if they are about:
- Guns
- Drugs (preferably cocaine)
- Gangstas
- Niggas
- Homies
- Da hood yo!
- Motherfuckers
- Badonkadonks
But really, why does rap suck? To begin with, rappers have retarded names like Snoop Dogg, Flava Flav, and Xzibit. Rap songs tend to feature poorly sung, dumb, misogynistic lyrics backed up by incredibly repetitive beats which I doubt they created themselves. When they aren't objectifying women, rappers sing about other similarly cliche, uninspired subject matter that's become a staple of the genre, like tits and hating gay people. This is probably the result of the homogenous (that's homo-genous rappers, don't worry, I'm not accusing you of being pinko fags) nature of rap; rappers are almost all young black men, or white men trying to act like them. The lack of diversity in rap music hinders creativity by encouraging rappers to repeat the same formulaic garbage used by other successful rappers. This has fostered a creatively bankrupt system in which rap as a medium can't evolve. Rap music hasn't changed in 20 years. It was bollocks then, now it's just new bollocks.
