i don't think rap music as a collective is trash necessarily. i don't really listen to rap music that much, though. i think it's just the lyrics that are trash. the songs themselves are not, but the things that they say are pretty fucking dumb using rap as a medium to express your troubles with society, or troubles with life in general, is a lot better compared to using it as a medium to brag about how you have 37 bitches riding your cock and now you have HIV
