50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?

When rap started, and still mostly the same today, there was/is no actual band supporting the fast talkers (they’re not singers), far less talent needed to make a rap recording than one with musicians and singers.  Sure there’s a huge audience for it, but that says less about the genre, and more about the poor taste of the audience, as well as the virtue signaling of the woke white crowd who are a big part of those supporting the fast talkers.

ghasley - I hope you weren’t referring to my post when referencing “a hood.”  I further hope it didn’t inflame your sensitivities or trigger you in any way.  I don’t like the genre for the most part, no matter what race happens to be making it, race has zero to do with it.  My employment years back required me to work at a large indoor concert venue, had to work at many rap shows.  Nearly half the audience of over 20k people were white.  It’s the purported music I can’t stand, and behind that music is the glamorization of drugs and violence, and the total disrespect for women as “bitches and whores.”  I couldn’t even count the times the “n-word” was used in their music.  Just despicable.
