Our long national nightmare is over
unfortunately “rap” has infected a lot of other musical genres already.
Hooray, rap is crap.
you won’t believe it, I was looking for that very quote from Gerald Ford, came back and for a second, thought I’d time warped and already posted it.
The national nightmare is over.
That’s 24 years, 11 months, and three weeks too late.
Seems I’ve heard that somewhere before ....
Rap music just vanished from the Billboard Top 40 for the first time in 35 years

Now let’s get rid of Hick Hop and Bro Country.
It just seems like 35 years.
H***, some of them have prison terms longer than that.
Rap music and rap song are both oxymorons. We thought disco was bad but we hadn’t seen bad until they called rap “music”.
Yes I posted about this yesterday as a fan of old school hip hop 🫢 and some religious rap as well: I once heard the entire Gospel account of the Crucifixion rapped at a Good Friday service and it communicated the details of that day with the grit, pain, spiritual power, and poetry only rap can capture. And I thought, well makes sense why Satan stole it!
The genre has been an uninspired wasteland for quite some time…but I also think some singers may be holding back from releasing around Taylor Swift’s albums…? LoL so it could just be a business decision too.
Sigh...
I searched "rap" but three letter words are apparently too small for FR's search bar.
And then I searched "songs" and didn't see it.
Oh well. Different source, I suppose.
Yup, this development took long enough...
Hick Hop some how managed to be even worse than regular rap.
But but but what will aspiring rappers aspire to now?
Rap fatigue!!
FINALLY!!!!
Unfortunately, we've planted kudzu to fight the soil erosion of rap.
Taylor Swift’s latest album is a massive hit and contains the song “Wish List” where she sings about wanting white babies and raising them in a suburban neighborhood where everyone looks like them.
Don’t we all.
I heard “Monster Mash” today. I thought, that might be one of the first rap songs.
It still sucks
Country pop
Horrible pop in general
Rap which baring a Hanfful of numbers like Tupac California I’ve never liked anything about it
That’s what streams or gets played except older stuff by boomers like me or younger people discovering it
The red dirt Oklahoma and Austin country is good but mostly made by lefties
P
A few exceptions like Whiskey Meyers
Tyler and Zach think they’ve become Springsteen aping lefty tropes
