why just talk about music you like? the threads for specific bands are so boring "oh man i love this band and this song, great stuff"...... dont hate on his making an argument, no one is making you read it or reply.

Can you explain to me why violence, sex, and drug warfare are somehow illegitimate topics to make music on?

lieasleep

honestly i think they are just the easiest things to go after when it comes to hip hop, how can someone argue for them? well sex and drugs can be argued for. and you just made a pretty good argument...nevermind.

I'm saying positivity produces more productive discussions then I hate this because I like this because arguments that just get tedious.

Nah, a topic where everyone only says "yeah, this is good!" usually goes nowhere.

someonecompletelyrandom

It's in talking about why it's good. Their use of a specific technique, the meaning behind lyrics, something about the music you like/don't like.

Not everyone has to agree but making threads just to bash things that other people like goes nowhere and does nothing but makes trolls hard.

So, first you ask why critics give any rap albums good reviews, and then you say that there are rap artists you like?

I'd advise in future arguments to at least try and have some consistency and reasoning.

Jester

I never knew talking about why something was bad was a bad thing.

i'm not sure but i think the point he's trying to make is that there isn't much point in creating an entire thread to rip on music you dislike. if there is a thread on something, no problem with posting a different opinion in it as that leads to discussion. but a topic like this leads to mostly negative comments and often lead to people flaming. of course, that is a fundamental part of the internet so...

It's not whether a discussion is negative or positive that matters, it's the substance behind either sentiment.
