They sound like crap. The lyrics are inappropriate and have no meaning in rap songs. Pop songs are repetitive and annoying. Why are artists like Kanye West popular? Have you heard The Life of Pablo? It's all autotune. The idiot can't sing and his lyrics make no sense. So do most of the other rappers these days.

A lot of people like music that isn't hard to digest. They like the sound of pop music. It's simple, and easy to get down with and dance to or sing along to and stuff like that. Some of it is pretty good. I like The Weeknd quite a bit. Old pop like Michael Jackson and Prince (RIP both of them) are great. Other than that, I'm not a pop fan either.

TLOP was average but most of Ye's work is gold.

808s and Heartbreak is a pretty nice example of use w/ autotune well.

Also in general just because you can't sing doesn't take away your ability as an MC, if your lyrics are good. People like kendrick, j cole, pre-yeezus kanye, nas, and such rappers can use lyrics and production real well together. Lyrics dont have to make sense either (applies to every genre, really). idk what rap you listened to but...

Also if you listened to TLOP all the way through you'd find Ultralight Beam, Waves, Famous, No More Parties In LA, Wolves, FML. Those were the good parts of the album.

I think people who get attached to Eminem the most are the most critical of rap.

ignoring the fact that there are pop and rap artists that are perfectly talented, the main reason why mainstream pop and rap are so popular is because they cater to the lowest common denominator. in this case, the lowest common denominators are teenagers. i also think this is also likely exacerbated by social media and the fact that not all, but a decent number of these teenagers have parents with enough money to buy them CDs, concert tickets, and merchandise.

and, like ender said, a lot of people care more about having a song that's fun, easy to sing along to, and danceable than they care about its actual quality and artistic merit. there's absolutely nothing wrong with that - i personally wish that actual talent and originality had more influence on what's popular and what's not, but at the same time, it's so easy to find music these days that it's hard to really get that worked up about it.

"No. They suck."

I bet you haven't even listened to a majority of the people I posted.

Also Andre 3000 does NOT suck.

I agree with this statement. It seems as if a majority of Eminem fans refuse to listen to anything other than him because they don't think it's good enough when in reality Eminem is just okay compared to everybody else in hip-hop.

Before I would list Drake as bad rap...but I am really getting down with his now stuff! The new songs and the leaked tracks are really nice! Good instrumentals! Good lyrics!(by Drake standards) and overall I am not hating his new stuff. I really enjoy it and think the new albums gonna be good.

because pop is music anyone can listen to, the lyrics, the beat are catchy, it's usually someone famous who's the singer and when you hear the song, you know it straight away. sure the vocals or quality may not be amazing, but that's why you listen to deep opera???
