As news comes of yet another 'Rap Singer' (named Offset?) being shot, in a US casino, one has to wonder why these people are so aggressive towards one another. One has to presume that such aggression is all part of their identity and raison d'etre.
You don't hear of people like Cliff Richard shooting at Elton John, or Vera Lynn shooting at Doris Day, so why do these people, usually with very silly names, all seem to hate each other? Maybe it's to do with alternative 'business matters', rather than the 'music'.
If (like me) you don't know much about Rap 'music', here is a standard example (above) from S London. I think it's much the same the world over.
The clothes are always the same, the 'songs' always equally vacuous and tune-free, the message always aggressive, and the overall ambiance one of anti-society, and lawlessness.
Smoking Ganga is obligatory, and XL Bullies are optional. This is what certain communities listen to, imitate, and admire! When you see those masked men on their E Bikes whizzing around with earphones on; this is probably what they're listening to.
It certainly ain't Val Doonican.

Vera Lynn shooting at Doris Day, so ridiiculous as to be hilarious. I had to laugh at the thought
My grandsons like Rap and all that sort of music. They put clips on their instagram now and again. Very strange music. Is it music?
