I don't believe I am being closed minded towards the music being shared at all, I just have a strong opinion when it comes to songwriting. In a song, the artist is trying to convey a feeling/moral/story etc. with some sort of purpose behind it, and the rap/hip-hop songs that I heard were being played had nothing more than a catchy beat. While we agree that Christian's song choices were poor, I heard music being played that had even less meaning behind it than Christian's. Though it was EXTREMELY repetitive, at least Tyler the Creator had done a good job at displaying a dark mood that he was feeling at the time he wrote the song, and had a lot of things to say about it... something I didn't hear while listening to the other rap songs talking about "smokin that OG kush" or "slappin hoes." Writing lyrics such as those take no artistic effort in displaying anything worthwhile (in my opinion) and it takes much more for me to like music than just a catchy beat. I probably shouldn't have said that it was all "garbage," but a ten year old could write more thought provoking lyrics. And while you call me ignorant, I call the songwriting of 80% of the music being shared as ignorant and stupid. There was nothing it had to offer besides a catchy beat and a bass-line.
