Rap music on high-end speakers

" Rap Music" is an oxymoron

Certainly there must be a lot of people on this thread who, upon reading their post in retrospect, think to themselves, "Geez, I sound more like my parents every day!"

No Winoguy17 " ALT COUNTRY MUSIC" is an OXYMORON. And best rapper in east coast killing best rapper in west coast does not make it BAD music.Actaullay best music sprouts from Pain- be it killing, drugs, broken hearts....(did i just say that?)
But let us not distract people and stick to the subject.

Nilthepill, theres lots of music about "pain" that does not exploit it, wallow in self pity, and use it as an excuse to degrade, belittle, insult and threaten others. No other form of music or any type of art that I can think of, does just that, with as much violence, and degradation to women as rap.and they are NOT artists, they just exploit social problems to further themselves and pad their pocket. can't call it music, but then, if you want to pay for it and listen to them whine, scream and swear, thats your problem. feel free, but I do have to agree with you on one point; "country music" is also an oxymoron. but to each his own.

This is an odd thread. 104 posts in response to a request for recommendations of speakers on which to listen to Rap "music," and precious few on point. One of the questions was what to listen for. My recommendation is to listen for the sound of real life. If you attend Rap performances (???), choose speakers that sound the most like live.

Now, I am not going to recommend specific speakers because I don't know what to make of the vast number of speakers on the market. At the moment I am listening to a Zydeco cd, Rosie Ledet's Sweet Brown Sugar, which I am sure many (most?) audiophiles would consider beneath consideration (if not contempt), on Harbeth speakers. My take on Rosie and this cd is you're dead (or a certain portion of your anatomy is all shriveled up) if you don't like her and it.

Harbeth speakers are ideal for every kind of music.

Get up and dance. Nobody cares if you don't know how.
