Well I am one of those who do. I don't know! I simply can't appreciate this genre. The rhythm seems all the same and the vocals sound almost monotonous to my ears. I'd get headache each time I hear a hip hop sound. But don't get me wrong, I understand those who love this genre. It just a matter of preference I think. If you hate or love hip-hop please share.

Oh thanks, at least I have an ally in you my friend. I don't really appreciate this genre as it does not sound music at all to my ears. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a very nice weekend!

If this wasn't the web, I might be offended..as a child of hip-hop (born in 1982..around about the time when it was made known to the world) all I can really say to you is you are entitled to your opinion but all hip-hop doesn't sound alike..hip-hop is supposed to be poetry to a beat..it just so happens most of it is violent and maybe even offensive causing people to not like it or be offended..people always fear what they don't understand..I don't know if you gave hip-hop a chance but if you didn't there are so many things you are missing out on..


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

Oh sorry dear, I don't mean to offend you. As I said, it is just a matter of preference. Each one is entitled to his own choice so if you love hip hop then I leave you alone in that choice. I understand you. What is good to you may not be good to me and vice versa. Maybe I am too old to appreciate the latest trends. Thanks for sharing!


myLot reputation of 90/100. ScarletAlston (2326)   ranked 1,183 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

oh yeah thats the other thing, people of a certain age really just don't like hip-hop so I can't be mad at you about that...I love it, you don't like it and we can trully agree to disagree..

I listen to music for the lyrics and I'm going to have to say that Hip-Hop doesn't always have the most wholesome lyrics. I'd be hesitant to say that I hate it... because there are a few songs that I really can get into because I like what the lyrics are talking about, but for the most part I really don't like it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

Oh yes, that is one thing I hate most the overuse of the word "f#ck" that is annoying to my ears. But there are those who have good message as well in this genre. I just can't appreciate the beat as I prefer good message to be heard in a flowing melodious beat.

happyHello there maam.

I don't hate hip hop music, but certainly not my favorite type of music. I go for songs that are pleasing to the ears and those that tend to relax me. Most of the younger generation love this hip-hop music.

Good day maam!happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

Yes dear, it's the young generation that go for hip hop and I can't blame them if they do. It is just a matter of preference and they are entitled to that. Thanks for sharing!

I agree with you about this new age songs. I never like hip hops, I don't see any beauty in this song. Not only it lacks nice melodic tune, the lyrics are offensive and vomit inducing. I am always a fan of the evergreen oldies. They never seems to fade with time.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

The evergreen oldies I so love too. I can't stop loving them as they are more meaningful and the melodies enchant me. I agree with you that the lyrics of the hip hops are almost always offensive. I hate all the more when I hear them using the word f#ck in almost every line they say. I can't allow my car or my home or my office to be the place where they'd spread their unwholesome message. So sad though that I always hear them in the bus as I have no control over the driver's preference.

Well, I appreciate almost all the music genres out there but hiphop falls under my "OK" category. I'm not saying it sucks but it just doesn't fit me with all the stereotypes being created and all. But, I do like R&B because you know... I love the vibe it gives when it's playing.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

I understand you my dear as we differ in preference. I know what you mean when you say you love the vibe it gives you when R & B music is playing. I too have favorites that connect to my heart.

I've really grown to appreciate hip-hop as an art form. Some of the artists out there are lyrical genius'. The music is enough to get anyone up off their feet, it makes anything fun really whether it's doing chores or working out or even through long travels. But when you really sit down and listen to it you get a real piece of art. But that's just my opinion.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

I've tried several time to sit down and listen as I am quite curious why young bloods so love this form but sorry that I can't take the offensive words this hip hop sound usually carries. While there are those that are quite wholesome and better than the rest, most of them are simply not to my taste and causing me headache.

Hi Salonga,

I am with you. I love music but I don’t like to hear those kinds of songs. I like melodies playing in a medium volume. I always prefer to enjoy the music in medium or low volume. I don’t know how people can enjoy the music in a high volume. I noticed that those who like hip-hop music prefer to play the same in a high volume. I felt it is really a disturbance. But those enjoy the same, please enjoy it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

Yes dear it is disturbing me just as it does to you. I also soft music that soothes my soul and not the non-melodic, loud and offensive lyrics these hip hop sound mostly carried. But I can't blame the youth as they have their own preference too.

Am a great fan of hip-hop music.i have heard from so many friends that they do not like this music genre but i do not know why am so crazy about it.i do agree that they don't have good lyrics and it is not encouraging too.i like hip-hop because it has got good music with some rocking beats.I usually get attracted to music of the track rather than lyrics.That's why i like hip-hop.But if all hip-hop tracks open up with good lyrics and ways of singing,probably there would be more hip-hop fans like me


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4656)   ranked 165 out of 9,152 in listening to music  11 months ago

I understand your preference for hip hop sound as you are not alone anyway. Just go for what type of music you believe entertains you. Have a nice day.
