I HATE rap music, and I would certainly hope that NO ONE here likes (c)rap music... I will atleast say that rap is certainly worse than jazz, but not by alot. Rap and jazz are almost the same, both have some beat behind it with a soloist (rapper/horn player) saying stupid stuff / playing random stuff. I guess I just don't understand why someone would want to sit there and listen to either of them. I do have a certain understanding of music, I've been listening to it for a loooong time. My CD collection ranges from Opeth to Dimmu Borgir to Iron Maiden to Black Sabbath and so on, and I even have stuff like Aphex Twin, (hed) PE, Snot and Tool (honestly now, are you going to try to tell me that Miles Davis or any other jazzer is more complex than Tool?!?!?) ... so it's not like I just ONLY like death metal or anything. If someone wants to tell me a song that has Miles Davis playing fast as heck then I'll listen to it. I think of old people sitting on an elevator when I think of jazz...
