My nieces and nephews love, absolutely love, the rock music I grew up with. I have learned to like, a little bit, some of the music they grew up with.
A lot of rap is horrible. Some of it isn't. Many people don't realize how much it has evolved. Some of it has gotten ok.
Please don't shoot me.

I'm certain you have nothing to fear. Nobody on TOTV could get away with trying to lock and load on you. Your posts are consistently among my favorites.
I really have no quarrel with anyone who likes, or even tolerates rap or any other genre. For me, I can't get into music which has no discernible melody, at least to me. All I hear is very irritating noise with a rhythmic, monotonous beat.
You may hear something different.
