A type of "Music" that is very popular among the adolescent urban-youth demographic, more often than not portraying crime and "life in poverty", which is just a poor excuse. Some of the other definitions on the site say it's "poetry", and to give "2pac" and Eminem a try. Here is an example why "2pac" isn't poetry.
"The first one jumped out and said, "Freeze!"
I popped him in his knees and shot him, punk.. please.."
2pac, Song: Crooked Ass Nigga.
Case in point. If "not all Rap is about crime", then why does 2pac portray killing the police? Rap is barely synced to music, Where Music syncs to notes and sheet music, so long as the rap "artist" and the "band" start at the same time, It's apparently OK. Also, Rap fans say that Rap is great, yet it constantly shows a racism that, strangely, is widely accepted.
"Criminal behaviour
Criminal, criminal, crim
Crim-criminal behaviour
Criminal beha.. crima-crima-crima
Crim-crim, criminal behaviour
Criminal behaviour.."
Crim-crim, criminal? I don't remember Edgar Allen Poe using that rhyming scheme, most likely because he produced real POETRY. Rap is not music, stop saying it is. Many white people grow up in poverty, Myself included, but that doesn't mean we like to listen to someone talk about it.

bottom line rap is 95% fucking BULLSHIT end of story because yes hos and killing people what the fuck ever and this INCLUDES PARTIALLY to underground as well but the good rap which there is VERY LITTLE of basically consists of love and all that GOOD stuff abd that doesnt mean angry rap is bad eminem is angry but good because its emotions not senseless acts of killing people and what not and i am a metal lover i hate punk almost more than rap because punk like most rap is an excuse for mainstream media because its so pathetically put together and for some reason for some VERY STUPID REASON PEOPLE BUY IT! so anyways i admit there is metal i cant even listen to like the pure banging and screaming shit i fucking HATE it im talking about metal with MELODY some melodic shit and yeah i like the screaming but it depends how the screaming sounds as long as i can understand and sometimes not but it has to sound cool and the lyrics HAVE TO HAVE MEANING WITH EMOTION and to all you fuckers saying most of us are rednecks that hate rap after hearing 50 cent for 2 minutes thats the dumbest shit i have EVER heard yeah im sure there is some dumb fucks on here that you are right abotu but im definitely not one because i have heard all kinds of rap and there is some i like which from what i can recall is underground but some of it sucks regardless anyways im not making a quick judgement here believe me and i could go on but im really tired of typing so im done oh yeah and to whoever said rap is music with attitude has without a doubt no clue what he is talking about becasue that is exactly what metal is (for the most part) and i mean serious attitude

Rap, in truth, is an acronym used to describe the worst musical creation in human history.
R-retards
A-attempting
P-poetry
While most will deny it, it truly is an acronym as nothing else makes sence, but as it would seem, neither does the music in question, making the subject highly debatable.
