Some of the first cds I ever purchased were rap, but I got a bit older and started looking into music myself and started to really dislike rap after a while, my taste changed. I understand it well enough, I just don't like it.

Like I said, you probably just dont understand it

Listening to it your whole life doesn't change a thing if you don't interact with the people who make the music and try to understand their point of view. Indeed rap such as 50 cent, Dr. Dre, etc (gangsta rap) doesn't have a good image, at least imho, however, many hiphop artists such as The Roots, Beastie Boys, Da Bush Babees, and the list goes on and on, try to make a very positive message pass through their music.

Point being, listening to MTV rap is obviously going to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, but many "undergound" artists are very passionate and talented in their field, and many of those artists KEEP IT REAL
