Like a few others have mentioned rap isnt really by preferred genre, and there is only a handful of it I have enjoyed, but this guy's article is so poorly constructed that it reads like an internet parody. Let's say you just hate rap and only like rock, to read his article you would think that the rise of hip hop has made rock extinct, except for that last noble dinosaur pink of course. The pink obsession is what makes me almost lean towards it being a giant troll festival and not a legitimate opinion, that is just such an odd stance, blind hip hop hating, sure that happens, but claiming Pink is the last shred of decent modern music? That's bizarre and hardly a believable opinion.

Next episode: Barry Prismall disses Radiohead for being boring, stating the only good song they ever did was Creep.

Yeah, that is one of the best examples of bad writing I've seen in a good while.

That said, rap (or hip-hop for those that are into picking on terminology, even though it's not quite the same thing but sure) is for the most part not all that interesting, and Radiohead ARE boring.

Yeah, well, subjectivity (not excluding me of course).

You've heard "the most part"? Well done, I haven't even heard "the most part". TBH, I find this statement bizarre. There are a lot of things once can reasonably and justifiably accuse hip-hop of being (not that I'd necessarily agree), but "not all that interesting" isn't one of them. It's such a wildly, massively varied genre. Even for somebody who isn't a fan, I imagine the genre is still of some interest. Anyways, welcome back.

GOD! People have very high self-esteem. It isn't even writing. It's just some paragraphs. I'm sure he was always nodding off in writing classes.

Of course I haven't heard the most part. I've listened to a fair chunk of it though, mostly the parts that are heralded as great by those who are into it, and there are few other genres where such a large portion of it is so uninteresting. And yes, that is a subjective opinion. If you like it, that's cool too. Anyways, thanks.
