Saying an entire genre is “shit” is hopefully the kind of bullshit one grows out of.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Like all genres, there’s plenty of shit, and some stuff that’s amazing in wholly unique and undeniable ways.
Hip-hop culture is responsible for a massive portion of the most interesting music of this decade, so while I’m not going to *hurt* you, I am definitely going to take the piss and urge you to educate yourself before spouting off like that.
Try listening to...
