Rap is what the majority of the public just has to bag on because they just took a gander at MTV and listened to Lil Wayne's new song(s). Look, if you think rap is crap, you are thinking this because your ass just got off the MTV channel. Rap is NOT Lil Wayne. Rap is NOT Soulja Boy. Rap is NOT Plies. Rap is NOT Rick Ross (for the loss). Rap is Tupac. Rap is Biggie. Rap is Eminem. Rap is Big L. Rap is Nas. Rap is Immortal Technique. But of course, none of you ignorant fucks probably know who these guys are or heard a single verse from them right?
Rap is the art of using your voice as a rhythmic instrument instead of a melodic instrument.
It is looked down upon, especially by the rock and metal community, because it "doesn't require instruments" or "it's all talk and no play". They say "anyone can write something that rhymes over a shitty bass beat easy".
Rap is not that easy.
If you ever took the fucking time to put down the guitar and get to know some REAL Emcees, you would know rap requires 50x more lyrical talent and flow and purpose than Soulja Shit or Lil Wayne.
Rap requires a pen, some paper, and a mind of a man/woman that wants to tell a story to the world. One that wants to tell it how it is to him or her.
It has NOTHING to do with the gangsters. It has NOTHING to do with money. It has NOTHING to do with hoes.
It's all what comes to mind when you want to tell people something. What do you want to show?
Who said rap HAS to be about bling and stacks of green? Who said rap HAS to be about bein' da BOSS?
Who said rap HAS to be about getting shot?
Who said rap HAS to be about the hood?
Who said rap HAS to have gangs in it?
RAP IS A MUSIC GENRE TOO. IT SHOULD DESERVE AS MUCH PRAISE AS ROCK, METAL, COUNTRY, OPHREA, BLUES, SOUL, HIP HOP, AND EVEN DEATH METAL!!!!

A Music Genre of speaking Poetry over a beat. Used to have a meaning but nowadays doesnt have a meaning at all. Nobody ever raps anymore they just talk over the mic, Eminem, T.I., Nas, and Jay-Z, Royce da 5'9, Wu Tang Clan, Lupe Fiasco, and Dr. Dre may be the only real rappers left, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy just straight up killed it.
Eminem and all of Shady Records (excluding 50 Cent), Rakim, 2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, T.I., Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Big Pun, Lupe Fiasco, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Royce Da 5'9, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, LL Cool J, Big L, Nate Dogg, Esham, Xzibit, DMX, UGK, Ice-T, Bone Thugs, Kurupt, Ice Cube, Redman, Scarface and all of the Geto Boys are all real rap. But only 20% of that list is still in the game.
Lil Wayne, Drake, Ja Rule, Soulja Boy, Nelly, Paul Wall, Insane Clown Posse, Hurricane Chris, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Black Eyed Peas, Kid Cudi and Sean Kingston are all commercialized mainstream rap that doesnt have any talent whatsoever and they are all I hear about with the dumbass kids at my school.
