Anyway, this sort of snobbery I find insufferably foolish.
If it's snobbish to hate rap, then call me a BIG snob.  The filthy and disgusting lyrics, the gangster culture surrounding it, and the lack of anything that could be considered a melody make rap a non-music to me.  It's just unpleasant noise that leaks out of silly cars that have 5 billion-gigawatt subwoofers in them.  If someone else wants to listen to it, fine by me.  But I certainly don't.
Gotta go now, I have my monthly snob meeting to run to...
