If we could keep all the rap music pre-Lil Wayne and ban the rest, I would be grateful.

I dislike the music but respect the voice it has given to people.

I understand what you are saying. That bothers me too but if you look beyond that and ask yourself why do they sing about stuff like that, then you begin to appreciate the genre more.

Greed is now something you respect?

Whoa! F da Police was serious poetry and a classic.

I think there was a time when rap music was expressive of something. Today, it is just more about sound and money.

The original rap stars were expressing something and talking about something, theses new ones are just cashing in.

But, hell, country music is going the same way. The **** Nashville is turning out is really no better. And, if we are honest country music went through a phase when it was largely about women and money.

In the sense that they are becoming more American in that way yes.

You're confusing charitable and greedy.

I dislike the new country almost as much as black auctioneer music.

Ban all music post-REM.

I'm against all bans...except maybe jean shorts.

IMHO, 95% of country music is crap. The exception is some classic country ... Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire, Willie Nelson - Pancho and Lefty, etc.

Im am mostly referring to Fla Ga line and that ilk. I like ZBB.

New country sucks but old country has some nice values. REM is horrible.

All rap sucks.

Everyone should be happy. Equal opportunity and equal results.

Yeah, Florida Georgia line is terrible. Most of the bro country stuff is awful. Hell, I can't stand Sam Hunt and he played qb at UAB.

ZBB is solid and a good guy from what I've heard. I have friends who worked in bars he played back when has was smaller.

There just isn't quite anything like a 'country song' that references Drake or compares itself to classic Hank and yet falls in a separate genre.

That said, Chris Stapelton. There is the next generation of real country music. Everything the man sings is fantastic.
