Agreed, too much of it is trash. Wasted talent on a golden genre.
Rap is not music.
Correct. I’m guessing because of who is marketing them. Usually a “celebrity” as big as Nas X would collaborate directly with Nike. I’m guessing he tried to pitch it and Nike was like “Nah”

You may not like it… but it is the most versatile musical genre to ever exist.
It’s like PHP - so versatile, anyone can build a crappy product.
It’s garbage. Nails on a chalkboard. Train brakes. Mating cats.
It’s like the Manchurian Candidate… a few simple phrases or key words activates the “conservative” frothing.
Just conservatives.
If you can define what is and isn’t music then I can define who is and isn’t a conservative.

Even my dad came around on the whole “rap isn’t music” thing after someone somehow made him listen to Me Against the World in the mid 2000s lol.
Mega Ran caught my dad’s attention.
