Do you like rap music?

I freaking rap and hip hop. SoundCloud has some of the best underground rappers and artists I ever heard
I wish the poll was a bit more nuanced.
There are quite a few rap songs that I enjoy immensely, but for the most part no I do not enjoy the genre. Nothing against it, but I feel the same way towards it that I do towards country music. They both have their moments for me but overall I'm just not interested.

ooh, yeah that's a distinction.
If I had to pick a portal that only played rap and another that only played R&B, I'd choose the latter.
Sometimes there's a catchy one I'll hear and like but it's not a genre I seek out. Same with hip hop, Electronica or metal and country music.

Lol, unbelievable people still pull this shit.
Rap is a genre of music, hip hop is a culture ffs.
There are many rap songs I really like. Stuff by tupac, snoop, dre, buck65, and more. That said one of my pet-peeves is having an otherwise non hip-hop/rap song include one rap verse that sticks out like a sore thumb for what to me seems like nothing but cold calculated commercialization.
Also fuck music genres as a concept, I actively avoid thinking about them and just listen to what I happen to like.

I live with my brother who listens to A LOT of rap and hip-hop music so I appreciate it through exposure but it's not really what I gravitate to.
I'm usually more interested in the production than the rapping/vocals.

IAM - Petit Frere [English Subtitles]
Translation to english of the song "Petit Frere" from the french rap band IAM.Sorry for the grammatics and vocabulary mistakes that can be in it, it's really...

Predicting a ton of "only select songs"/"mostly [insert white rapper]"/"mostly just 90's rap" in here
I see this isn't your first time. You know your stuff. Quite predictable tbh.
Same ballpack for me, with hip hop, R&B, and rap music from the late 1970's to the early 1990's that's more my jam.
These comments are just tired. You act like it wouldn't be the same if the question were, "Do you like rock music?" or "Do you like country music?"
some people love rap in all of its forms: old-school, gangsta rap, trap, whatever this nasty mumble rap, soundcloud rap, etc.
I love the music when it samples jazz, blues, funk, and so on, but since I cannot hardly understand the lyrics (like my brain is not quick enough to comprehend what is being rapped, much less the meaning behind it) and I don't really latch onto a beat, rap is not typically a macrogenre I enjoy.
I don't enjoy country, either, but there are a handful of songs that I find pretty good, but almost all of them go back to when country was just the white man's blues. Almost the entirety of what could be called country music nowadays is nothing I would want to listen to by choice.
I don't enjoy "Rock" music either, for the most part. All that angry, "I hate my dad" music like Avenged Sevenfold, Breaking Benjamin, and so on is just trash to me. I could never understand the appeal of harsh black metal or weird harsh metal like Slipknot. It's so aggressive, it circles back onto itself and ends up corny as shit.
I like melody and harmony. Indie rock, old-school R&B, and classic rock (50s to 70s) have it in spades. So do a fair amount of New Wave and early alternative bands and artists. If it doesn't have that, there is a better than average chance I'm not listening to it.
What I'm trying to say is, if you are trying to pin not liking rap on some underlying racist attitudes or straight ignorance of the genre, it's embarrassing.
No one calls beats without the rapping "rap" and you can't just call it beats because the beat scene is more than hip hop
I like rap too I was just joking since hip hop and rap get used interchangeably often
