When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad


Now it seems like it dominates the music industry, movies and fashion. My only question is why?

At this point we all know that Rap Isn't a fad. It's more like a chronic disease that we can't get rid of.

@taters as one of my rappers would say. You getting mad I'm getting rich you getting mad I'm getting rich.  STIFF ARM!!! 
Taters, what’s your point exactly?  You don't like rap, don't listen.  You don't like the conditions that gave it birth, try to do something about those conditions.
Calvinj,

I don't care what rappers have to say. I don't waste my time listening to uneducated people that talk about degrading woman.

If you ask a dozen well-fed, old white guys what they think about Rap, you're likely to get one answer.
