Okay Neal, you cannot stereotype people who listen to rap/hip-hop. 90% of all music I enjoy is Hip-hop based. I do not walk around killing people, doing drugs, or degrading woman. The rappers I listen to do not even rap about this. I am a state worker with the DEM with a Masters in Enviormental Economics. I enjoy rap because I can relate to the music and rap is based off poetry. An average person can not rhyme and make beats that people will buy and listen to. Rapping takes a lot of skill. And I agree that rap on the radio is mostly garbage but not all of it. I listen to a lot of artists that are not mainstream because they do not promote violence or degrading of woman and drugs. Your statement "all rap is garbage" is your own opinion since it is a art if you agree or not.
