that is not rap

that is gangsta rap

rap is a style of presenting lyrics

gangsta rap is a genre of music

conflating the two is like saying that you hate guitars because you don't like country

also Kanye's never done gangsta rap

and I know that people automatically hatejerk over kanye west but dude's friggin monstrously good at writing and playing music holy crap

I kind of wish there was some sort of Random Anything Radio.
Where all the music was selected, completely at random.  With filters to prevent, you know, NC-17 pieces and all.  That would be kinda cool.
Oh and they have to broadcast the NAME of the song they just played.  And artist.
Seriously is there a station like that?

it sounds hilariously expensive for licensing purposes

it'd be best to use one of those music streaming sites

But then you have to use stations too.
Eh.

Yeah, right. Condescend at me! It's not like I have any idea what I'm talking about. ::)
You can't defend rap, I'm afraid.
Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill
93 til Infinity by Souls of Mischief
Started from the Bottom freestyle by PromiseNyc
One Mic freestyle by PromiseNyc

Dumping some rap I like. I hate the gangsta rap scene and everything, but there's good music bruh. PromiseNyc is particularly worth checking out, he's this underground dude with real down to earth subject matter, no gangsta stuff.

I've contemplated coding some kind of bot or something to do that. Just stream randomly selected music. An alternative is a twitterbot that links to random music youtube videos every set length of time.

Biggest problem with that is where to keep the data and how to manage the data for what music is streamed. A random collection of music free of genre bias and with enough content to avoid regular replays seems a hellaciously big hassle to manage and keep up to date.

Also licensing stuff. Didn't even think of that.

A friend once told me rap is twenty first century poetry. I don't personally like it, but I suppose a lot of people don't like poetry either. So, whatever floats your boat.

Found this video trying to use some dialogue from Interstellar as proof that the moon landings were a hoax ("There was a physicist involved with the movie so every line in it comes from his expert opinion!"). 99% of these conspiracy nuts are just funny to me but this one got me irrationally angry. Aside from the fact that this yokel is trying to coöpt one of my favorite movies ever to justify his position, it requires a special level of stupidity to not realize that the scene literally implies that people like this guy are holding society back.

I don't give a shite about rap's subject matter, it sounds awful.
I'm sure the lyrics are terrible as well, but that's a moot point.

The fuck are you even on about?
Attempting to decipher your posts is getting rather tiresome.

I'm sad to say, it doesn't seem entirely surprising to me, either. This guy takes his comedy act rather seriously, after all. :P
