Agreed.
This “music” was foisted upon the world by the entertainment industry and their globalist handlers for the purposes of “integration”, “diversity” and “equality”.
I know that every generation is criticized by the previous for their tastes in music, but I’m from the generation in which rap became popular. I despise it.
Sampling someone else’s music and adding your own lyrics is not talent, if it was, my shower singing would make me a musical genius. Unlike singing, which requires some measure of natural talent and training, rapping can be accomplished in relatively short time by anyone with a sense of rhythm, seen “heard” it.

Not saying that real musicians won’t sell their souls(metaphorically, selling out their integrity for a quick buck and fame; or maybe literally...I don’t know.),but rappers just seem to be SO materialistic.

Let’s compare, I’ll use rock music since it’s my preferred genre.

Rock:I love you so bad it hurts..
Rap: Bitch, get on my junk

Rock:What’s the meaning of life..
Rap: Am I going to go to prison if I kill this .*::÷= for looking at me?

Rock:I have a drug problem and it’s gonna kill me
Rap :It’s whitey’s fault I’m an ignorant, violence prone a$$hole

Rap is older than the 70s 80s and there are some in the rap community who call out the crap that the industry hypes (materialism, thugs, drugs, excess, low lifes)

Pigmeat Markham on Chess Records “Here Comes The Judge” (drum and bass spittin’ words on beat) - 1968 (and he didn’t invent it)

Here’s “Ed Norton” Art Carney doing it 1954 for Columnbia (and he didn’t invent it)
“Twas The Night Before Christmas”

What the F&&& happened to Hip-Hop?
“We asked DMC from Run DMC about Hip Hop today, he didn’t hold back”

still doesn’t make that patter any better but the “history” is false
