some punk ass n00b who has no talent and so just talks fast. uses alot of swearing, and degrading terms to act "cool". often very derogetory to minorities or women, often have no respect for police, and whine because they are too stupid to stay out of trouble.

Used to be a formal word to describe an urban street-poet. Now it describes anyone who can make up as many cuss words within one minute or talk obscenely about drugs, violence, sex, and money while playing an infinitely-looped drum or synth sample in the background.

Often confused as a poet, a rapper uses poor grammar and turns it into style. Also mis-pronounciation and made-up words originate from this. Most are black.
50 cent (s) ('fitty')

noun
1. One who expresses himself through the urban street poetry form called "rap". 2. A formerly unique form of black urban street cultural expression now completely neutered and watered down as rendered part of the safe timid white mainstream thanks to big business. It's gone from an attitude and a method of expressiong your troubles, woes and worries to an image that sells everything from phones to fast food. When McDonalds is using rap as part of its advertising campaign, it's time to pull the sheet over the patient's eyes, the spirit has long since departed.

Someone who writes and recites an art that very few people can master, and sadly, very few rappers have talent and are rich and famous regardless off of apparel and bullshit 'gangsta rap'. The misconception is "rap" does NOT mean "gangsta rap", that's just what the common consensus uprooted from talentless pricks like those members of N.W.A.
You can't recommend an artist in a definition for this for all the idiots who did, because rap has many forms of art, not just the ones you see fit to be heard. For instance, I like rappers like Eminem and Wordsworth because they do the impossible with being able to rhyme the same phrase over and over. Other people might like Andre Benjamin from OutKast because he's very poetic.
Sadly, most rappers will talk about women like sex-objects and other senseless shit like that, and that shit just has to end. They get the impression that they're really pharaohs, projecting the image that they're superior and it sickens the hell out of me... A lot of people think that's what art is, so I guess I can't judge, but it's pathetic regardless. Prove me wrong.
Whatever the case, most intellectual people who really enjoy rap or produce it themselves (even if they pretty much only do it for a hobby like me) don't ever listen to a rapper for their trash-talk about the common trends. They listen to rappers who actually hold a portion of the art (even IF they're gangsta rappers, that's just not WHY they'd listen) in them and orchistrates it beautifully.
An artist can create magic, whether through a paint-brush or music, and a real rapper can beautifully illustrate a mental image like a painter can beautifully illustrate a visual image.

for the most a category of musicians that at one point in time were very talented(some still are), now though, rappers are spreading like the Ebola virus. it seems with just a spreadsheet of slang terms, some fubu, and criminal rap sheet, anyone can be a rapper.
"yo, ya her bout pookie? he got arrested for shooting someone outside the club then stealing thier car and running over a small child, while raping a handi-cap person"
