Socrates was right :/
instead of complaining about music why not create some?

The second one had a decent beat, decent music and decent pre-teen rapper. The first one had to have been signed when the agency rep was stoned. The music, if you can call it that, was beyond juvenile and didn’t go with the rapping. It’s as if someone heard both, said they sucked, but put them together and people are dumb enough to think it’s great.
I still say that the only good rap is copying the origins of rap. Talk about injustice, police brutality, racism and discrimination. Talk the truth of being black in America. Tell us the truth in song.
I don’t care if you cap an ass, shot the nig*a in da head, kill baby mommas or put five k up your nose. Use rap to tell the world about things they won’t believe. Don’t go glorifying jail or rape or drugs or murder. Tell stories and educate us.
You quit school to work. No skills or talent but a decent singing voice. You can rap and quickly learned scales and writing. You aren’t stupid, you just didn’t have the opportunities to learn more and study. You worked for money for school clothes and lunch. Your mom works two jobs and four siblings go to school. You cook, clean, shop, work and go to school. You quit to work more hours. You’re good at writing lyrics and rapping. You write about working for a future and not drug dealing. Your songs inspire others to write, rap, produce and earn a legal living.
Bring back educational rap. You needn’t be black to rap. Eminem, Pitbull, Vanilla Ice (???), and a few others aren’t black but rap well, write well, and their lyrics are real. Vanilla Ice could rap but not write but he portrayed himself as being black until he was seen. He had a few decent songs but stole parts of a Queen song.
Sugarhill Gang gets forgotten too often.
People say rap is for no talent singers. I say there’s more than meets the eye. Then again, people say adult websites are easy to build and sell. You could fill a country with people who thought that and failed.
