If you don't like a cetrain genre of music, you don't have to listen to it. But don't bash a certain genre just because of ignorance. Hip Hop and Rock goes way back in the past and share the same root-Jazz. Hip-hop is not just about rapping and what you see in mainstream media like MTV and VH-1. There are lots of underground artist who have contributed a lot to the whole music world. Hip hop is actually very complex and have inherited lots of drums from various tribes from africa to jamaica to American south. Hip hop started the DJ culture, which itself evolve into different genre of sound that incorporates electronic music such as Trance, Jungle, Drum n Bass, Breakbeat, House, Techno, Downtempo, Acid, etc. etc. All I am saying is that have RESPECT to all and don't go around bashing just because its not your taste. We are evolving and so it Music.
