So I'm a terribly white dude who doesn't know poo poo about rap besides appreciating Biz Markie (RIP) and seeing Snoop Dogg at a club once. I used to be one of those "I like everything but country and rap" idiots but I'm willing to learn. Please post the good poo poo so I have a guide to understanding what I'm missing.

I didn't 'get' rap until this old dude online made me sit down and listen to the chronic in a sync with him. so maybe start there.

Yeah you didn't provide any context at all for what music you like or what you don't like about the rap you have heard. So I'm just gonna assume you don't like top 40 stuff. So my suggestion is to try listening to rap music, op

https://youtu.be/a-mAK3uB2_0 songs like this are why I got into rap music. i liked the rhyming and the story telling, especially because I'm a broke rear end white trash retard. it's easy to relate to.

I used to be one of those "I like everything but country and rap" idiots but I'm willing to learn. the thing I'd ask is "what kind of stuff do you like now, and why," because not just connections to other artists but also types or feel of music can lead to certain types of recommendations. People get and want different things out of different music, though there's a lot of big hits that just about everyone can agree Absolutely loving Knock that can also be recommended as well.

I have no idea how he's received by wider audiences, but as a fellow lame white dude, I really like Watsky, but his stuff is often very melody/singing heavy with rap interludes/verses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzY831Ubwbg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GglsBHdKDBk

I used to be one of those "I like everything but country and rap" idiots but I'm willing to learn. A lot of what's satisfying about being a rap listener comes more and more as you listen to more rap. Rap references things all the time as an ongoing conversation, recognizing people directly, and recognizing those references on the fly comes with familiarity. That's part of what you're missing. Another part is just having enough familiarity with rap to appreciate what you will like about it. So it might not be you hear the good poo poo and it clicks, but it might be you have heard enough to recognize when someone does something really slick, because rappers love doin that Anyways here's some poo poo I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71i8VSExOKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXCxaLcaL_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU6g0y7livM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FLFvWE72YM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btFJ451b_QA

I've got a real answer for you. So, one of the major hurdles towards getting to liking rap music is hearing and understanding the lyrics and their meaning. When you're first getting into it, words can go by so fast and slang can be so unfamiliar that it's hard to get into. There's a website called 'Genius' that will provide you with the lyrics for rap music along with annotations that will give you explanations and context for each song. If you have it open while listening to rap songs that you like the sound of, you can get a deeper understanding. You might have to pause and unpause as you go. If you keep doing this, eventually you'll pick up on things and not need it as much any more. While it's entirely possible to just enjoy the flow and beat and not worry too much about the lyrics, I think this will enhance your enjoyment.
