Additional Information: I have no tattoos, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, and I don't do drugs, I have no earrings, and I am not into jewelry (I use my cellphone as my watch). I don't care about the content of the music, what I care about is a song with a strong melody. At least the death metal bands I listen to scream most of the time and playing heavy chords, but it leads to something melodic.

Rap has no melody and I don't spend time listening to that genre.
You've got to brush up on your 1960's, man! Anyway, what's with all of this "I'm such a good person! I don't do drugs! My fourth grade teacher really liked me!" junk you keep posting? You're not on trial here, so stop bringing in character witnesses.

Let me try explaining it to you like I would explain it to a caveman: Noises make people happy, noises are music. Rappers make noises, noises make people happy, Rap is music. Got it? And saying that all rappers do is talk into a microphone is like saying that all guitarists do is hit strings with their fingers. You're ignoring all of the beauty and detail that go into the art.
