Rap

Poetry with a beat. Usually associated with black people, although not entirely true (see Eminem)

"Its OK to like rap, just because other people don't like it doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Especially all those people who diss artists like 50 cent and Lil' Wayne. While they may have a point, it doesn't mean it can't be pleasing to your ears"

Detroit Rap

A rap genre which innovates on the traditional hip-hop beat structure with its use of Anti-Harmony, in which the Artists sound like they're actively beefing with the instrumental. It is also notable for the fact that everyone is either a Spiritual Lyrical Miracle Individual or Mumble Rapper, no inbetween, both of them use the same instrumentals and drugs, so Detroit is the only scene where these two arent at war. Every type of rapper from here has a distinguished freestyle cadence, not unique to Detroit but most prominent here, known as "yapping" in which you say anything on a track as long as it rhymes.

Guy 1: Man I love Detroit Rap Snares, I wish I could hear what he is saying tho
Guy 2: He's saying hes a spiritual lyrical miracle individual on the criminal cynical pinnacle residuals
