I listen to hip hop for a lot of different reasons. One of them is to relax, another one is to kick it and have a good time. Nod my head, shit like that. Plus it's usually done or performed by people that I can relate to for one reason or another.

For the message. For me, hip hop is the most expressive form of music. Moreso than soul and rock because the (true) artists generally have a lot more to say

I grew up with it, were almost the same age

 

[Precision904]

because it just an expression of everyday life...some songs are just up lifting and i can relate to hiphop more then any other genre of music

 

[rusty shackleford]

me & hiphop go back like juice boxes & tooth fairy visits.. we aint never been apart.. i listen because i'd be lost without it..

It's the most raw form of music I have ever heard. I've never heard singers break stuff down like rappers.

Hip Hop is to me the truest most expressive Form of music... The lyrics have the most meaning and the music is the most relateable

 

[The_wraith]

If you like poetry you like hip hop/ rap

i love deciphering lyrics & catch a meaning that somehow wet over my head b4. subject matter varies also (more than one or 2 messages in the music & waaaay more messengers than are discussed in the ic).

[gods_verse]

Mostly the instrumentals.

But some lyrics get me also.

 

[sTaY_TrUe]

because some artist actually spit about real stuff with meaning

 

[pensive]

rhythm and poetry
