@hyperion30000 I never said criticizing a genre is unacceptable. What is unacceptable is you and others on here stating your OPINION as if it is an undeniable FACT. You think rap is garbage, that is fine for you. But Sergio Mendes, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, even Miles fucking Davis DON'T think it is. What makes your opinion more valid than theirs? What makes your opinion more valid than mine?

@camking88 and since when was criticizing a genre unacceptable? It's just as much a part of the dialogue of criticism as reviewing an individual artist or song. You may still hate a singer even though they may have one song out of fifty that you actually like.
-
@camking88 The fact that Mendes may have lost his mind, talent or taste in the past decade or two does NOT validate Rap as a genre. It's garbage, period.

i couldn't agree more! so sad what happened to beAUTIFUL soul music from the past.

@camking88 as a consumer and a life long listener to music, Iam sorry to say rap is CRAP
-
@hotmn4u Why should I get over it, I don't make rap music and I don't collaborate with those who do. That would be Sergio Mendes, Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith, Elton John, the list goes on. They're the ones contributing this "crappy" music. I can see you're set in your beliefs and I respect that. But I will rather take the word of those I just named on what is or isn't real music.

@camking88 get over it, rap is CRAP

@jules8002 You don't know that for sure, now do you? You can't presume to know why Sergio makes the artistic choices he makes. If he were doing it for the sales, don't you think he would have collaborated with the most popular rappers, not the somewhat obscure (what we call underground) ones (with the exception of will.i.am)? Artists like Pharoahe Monch and The Roots don't sell in the hip hop community, what makes you think they will sell to Sergio Mendes' fanbase?
-
@hotmn4u So what are you saying about Sergio Mendes? Or others like Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana, and even Paul McCartney who has also collaborated with rappers over the years. As I said before, just because YOU think rap is crap does not mean everyone else does.

Beautiful Tune, Beautiful Lyrics, Great Sound Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66! It Still ROCKS!
@ProudKansan08 Guess who else is into "that horrible, bloody rap crap". The man himself, Sergio Mendes. He collaborates regularly with rappers. No need to put down a whole genre of music just because YOU don't like or respect it.
