Apparently there's a lot of hate for hip hop on this website. And while I'm not telling anyone what they should be listening to it's just weird to brush off a giant portion of music with many subgenres based on some kind of prejudice.

"but it glorifies abuse and drugs and violence" listen to political or conscious hip hop, listen to conceptual albums that delve deep into these topics and how they affect the community

"but rappers are misogynists/homophobes/etc" listen to female rappers, listen to lgbt rappers

"but it's scary and violent" listen to jazz rap, listen to cloud rap

"but it's not melodic (enough)" listen to instrumental hip hop, listen to jazz rap

"but it's not creative/ boring" (an actual take that I've seen here) listen to experimental hip hop
