The worst thing to ever come in to music ever (seriously)

That's lovely. Then again, classical isn't totally immune to publishing atonal bilge. Just see what Schoenberg and other members of The Second Viennese School pumped out 70-odd years ago. Suitable only for the "Off" button.
Don't like rap? What would you call this, from 50 years ago?

Rap is nothing new, just a projection into the modern era of things that have been around for a long time, perhaps for ever. And not just in popular music. What about recitative or sprechgesang in opera? It sounds to me that you don't like the way the genre is used by certain performers, and I have sympathy with that, but theirs is not a culture I share, so it's their call really. Not the fault of the genre in itself.
I don't get on too well with rap either, but I think that may well be down to me having to depend on a couple of hearing aids. I struggle to understand it. But away from the words, I think that rap is a lot like tap-dancing, a craze in the big band era, and similarly one associated with Afro-American performers. It's a rhythmic improvisation super-imposed on a steady ground beat, only with the voice rather than the feet.

Daddies eating a burger bap
Mum shes got ice cream
Wow i'm living the dream
Thanks for this, it's a classic
Yes that rap thing the OP posted is dire, but for me, the worst crimes against music were committed by Stock, Aitkin and Waterman in the late 80s.
As an 18 year old music fan in 1987, it remains a dark year for me, especially as I was working in a factory at the time which had Radio 1 piped in all day long, so there was no escaping it!
I shudder at the memory.
I breathed a sigh of relief when the indie scene finally reached the mainstream in '89/90 and booted most of the manufactured crap out.

Just wanted to update this thread with another song that isn't bad in my opinion in my music tastes;
Scott - Porcelain.
Creating another topic would have been excessive so I stuck to this one.

You have to blame Peter Green for rap.
It's all his fault, he started it in 1969 with 'Oh Well'.
rapping starts at 1 min in.

Harsh rapping starts at 1 min in.

But tempered by a great guitar riff, though

Good post, I try and accept other musical styles even if I don't really get it, so long as it's different. But S.A.W was twee rubbish aimed at the at people who like lift music.
The comments and description saved me from listening to it, however what they have recently done to Simon & Garfunkels BOTW is my all time worst record. Yes I hope it raises lots of money, yes I switch the radio off or change channel when it comes on. It was a bit of a rushed affair and I wish they'd picked another lesser track to ruin, it will sink without a trace and that can only be a good thing.

I've not heard it, but I'm guessing it's another terrible remix.'Remixes' are another pet hate of mine. I'd say 90% of the time, they are bloody dreadful and take away all that was good about the original version.
It's annoying when you find a track you really like on a pub jukebox (One of those modern touch screen types), and when it comes on, it's a weedy, dreadful remix of it instead.
I just don't get the point of them, so yes - one of the worst things to happen to music in my eyes.
the loudness war.
token rappers on records that don't need it. "Work from Home" is a recent example that springs to mind. It's not a great record anyway, just cheap pop but Ty Dolla or whatever his name is adds precisely nothing of note or worth to the record.
To me saying 'rap' as a whole is a bit strange, it's such a wide genre, there are diamonds to be found. I don't understand the melody comment either. Music by definition has to have singing on it?

Before that, the sequencer.Step-Sequencers are great, don't get used as much these days as there's no need, but Georgio Moroder wouldn't have felt as much love without one.
