OK,

Look, - I don't have a right to judge you. You're not breaking any rules by posting here. However, - this forum is not about HipHop or what you call "Rap."

So, - I'll just say, - sorry.

"RAP" does not exist. So, - essentially you're painting with a broad brush here. There's a lot of HipHop music that has great lyrics.

Comments about HipHop music, really, should fall in the Rock section. Most of us do not go into the Classical section, or Music general section, and make comments about how horrible Copland or Schubert is.

But again, - I'm not the Forum police, - so I apologize.

I think that registering is the most important thing that anyone can do here, because it reflects the history of your experiences and who you are. Almost anything that anyone says here, - is centered around the extent of people's experiences.

You are making comments about ART. So, - you have seen a movie that you do not like. It's just your opinion. When you say that all of "Rap" music sucks, - you do two things, you insult the Genre, and you state your opinion as a fact.

Neither are true. For the person who loves HipHop, - their opinion is just as valuable as yours. For we have no universalizable, agreed upon, definition of "good" and "bad" music, music in general, or art in general. Gordon Lightfoot, Madonna, Notorious BIG, The Clash, and Mozart are all identical in the eyes of ann undefinable concept of art and music. Everything else is your own idiosyncratic opinion and definition, - that no one else, (or at least few others share).

Finally, I've been posting here long before I ever became a dealer. I have never made a comment here based on me being a dealer, - nor have I promoted any product that I sell, - I often promote competitors. I've been a lead bass player and songwriter for 15 plus years; if anything, my comments stem from that.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you have to understand that it's unique to you, and carries no more weight than anyone elses.
