24. Rap isn’t music; it’s just the same annoying beat with different filthy words and it won’t last a week. —me. (Well, I was part-right.)
Rap is particularly obnoxious. Most sounds, including music, just fade into the background. But rap (and hip-hop) just have a way of drilling into the awareness in a way that cannot be ignored. It’s like nails screeching across a blackboard.
I like to play music mostly because it hides the tinnitus. But I would rather hear the constant screech than rap.
