Who else can't stand rap/hip-hop?

But that isn't the point. The fallacy I'm trying to point out has nothing to do with the OP or the context of the thread. It has to do with one specific post. I don't care why the thread was started. If someone is racist for dissing your music, then I think you should be considered racist for dissing their music.

It'd be one thing if one of the non-black members had posted on this thread that all rappers were fried-chicken-eating, watermelon-eating, koolaid-drinking n*i**rs. Then I'd be screaming racism along with everyone else because, let's be honest... that's a racist-as-hell statement to make. But no one did. They just said rap sucks. It doesn't matter the skin-color of the rapper. Hating on a musical genre is not racist, regardless of what race likes it more. And calling it racism is being just little bit too happy to pull the racism card.

That's the point I'm trying to make: people (white, black, asian, mexican, native american, middle-eastern... it doesn't matter) need to be a little less willing to pull the racism card.



I've heard Jedi Mind Trick, and while I respect their talent and can see quite easily why anyone would like them, it's just not for me.

Like I said. The real reason I don't like rap is because I need more music in my... music. I need more guitar (preferably with good solos), better drumming, maybe some keyboard, and, finally, less sampling and more actually playing instruments (like The Roots). Now, if I could find rap music in this vein... talented playing, some guitar and guitar solos, etc, I could get into it quite easily. But as it stands, rap just isn't musical enough for me.

All the good stuff(even cars) came out in the 90's...
