Is it political that Rap music is now dead? No rap songs in the Top 40 for the first time in 35 years

[ColonelAngus]

I still like some Rap.

Love RUN THE JEWELS.

Is Rap less popular due to politics? Has it just run its life cycle?

I miss THE BEASTIE BOYS.

I love all sorts of music from Mozart to Metallica, but I HATE rap. Good riddance.

Mozart does a bad ass cover of Master of Puppets.

Metal is kinda modern classical music in many ways.
I'm sure Mozart would like some MoP.

Rap is crap.

LOL....Maybe the aspiring rappers killed themselves off.

Bring back disco rap.

You just rapped.

Rap is crap.

It is a headache....almost as bad as Caribbean steel drum "music".

At least that’s music.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It is racist to not love Rap.

 

[MarathonMike]

I'm pretty sure it's Trump's fault.

Rap music in commercials is highly annoyingly and low class

 

[Cassandro]

Rap music is an oxymoron. A song is not a song without a melody. Reciting bad poetry to a drum beat is not music.

 

[ColonelAngus]

So a Rap song is not in the Top 40 for the first time in 35 years because it “sucks”?

Ok

 

[there4eyeM]

We can earnestly hope!

No, it sucks because it’s rap.

I think we have enough recorded rap to last us the rest of our lives. (It all sounds pretty much the same).
