Rap Is A HORRIBLE Excuse For Music
I don't think this needs much explanation. Rap isn't really music.

There can be good rap, but it's oh, so rare. Some K-os stuff is good, as is the little bit in "Feel Good Inc." But, most rap seems to be a basic drumbeat, with someone yelling about how they hate society, have lots of money, and are better than you.

I agree with this; if there's an exception to this rule, I haven't found it.
Awful genre.

It's poetry, and bad poetry at that.

I dislike rap, and I can't stand listening to it. I don't like the negative message it often sends out, or the curse words often weaved into the lyrics.

I will not agree that all rap is this way but the majority talking about women as whores and about killing or bustin a cap is simply ridiculous.

You are so very correct. All they do is try to rhyme and ATTEMPT to make music. They also really downgrade women too.

 That last sentence of your argument is the only problem I have with it. Just about any music has something to do with downgrading women.

Rap is not music. It is just words put together. It doesn't have a melody. Rappers just use any words that rhyme.

I hate rap. It is the most annoying, horrible excuse for music ever. There's no way you can argue.

Not really. Its just poetry with a beat. Just like most music is a story with a beat.

I may not be crazy about rap, but well done rap is not at all easy to do and is quite an art form.

I hate rap music, but there are some rappers out there that really flow from the heart. I can respect those few rappers.

The problem is you've, likely, only heard about 2% of it. If you are talking about Kanye, and 50 pence and his cronies you are right, but don't make the mistake of judging a whole genre because of them. HipHop was one of the most original forms of art of the last century. Listen to Gangstar, Tribe Called Quest, BDP, EPMD, De La Soul, Wu-tang, The Roots, Roots Manuva and a load more. Not to mention all the great music of the last 20 years that it has influenced and fused with.

I believe this is more of a cultural argument than one on Rap itself as a genre, perhaps people cannot understand it? Perhaps they dislike it's content, or perhaps the principle. This is far too open to speculation for my liking but I believe not all rap is 'bad', they all have underlying meaning to them even if it's considered 'degrading' and 'insulting' to certain people.

I find it music by the way certain rappers like r kelly and kanye west can make meaningful songs with heartfelt lyrics
