I know little about rap and hip-hop, beyond what i've heard it playing out of someone's car or in a nightclub, so i try not to slag it off.
From what i know about music, a lot of the bad stuff floats to the top, drowning out the actual good stuff which is only known by those who are truly into the genre. So, i assume there is good rap and hip-hop, but i'm not going to go out and find it because the genre as a whole doesn't really interest me.
This is because it's a type of music produced by, and for, predominantly black Americans. I'm not black, nor American, and i'm not interested in Black-American culture so i don't really find the genre of much interest.
I'm sure there is hip-hop and rap that can qualify as "good music", but as said i'm not going to make an effort to find it, and anyway, just because a piece of music may be "good", doesn't mean i'll *like it*.
