Rap is an art form that is generally associated with gangs, murder, drugs, bitches and dissing other rappers. However, this is not always the case. A lot of times, the rapper, a.k.a., rap artist, or emcee, talks about real shit acutally happening in their lives that has changed them forever.
Most people diss rap because of it's usually drug related material, although most people who say this are usually listeners of some form of rock music, which basically also talks about drugs, sex and Satanism. Take Korns song "A.D.I.D.A.S.", for example, the theme of which is how "All Day I Dream About Sex." Not that it is a bad song, but whomever listens to this song and says it's good music, then turns around and litsens to 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" and says it's crap, is a total, fuckin hipocrite.
And at least most rappers are religious people that actullay thank the Lord for all that he has done to make their lives at least slightly bearable amidst all the bullshit they've gone through. Unlike rock music that has many artists praising Satan and commanding people to follow the will of Lucifer. When has any rapper said such a thing?
Now, this goes to all those who say rap has no point to deliver: Have you ever sat down and listened Eminem's "When I'm Gone"? Or DMX's "Ayo Kato"? Or Tupac's "Changes"? If you haven't, then you should try it someday...Do they not have a more emotionaly stimuating point to deliver than Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness"? Or Maralyn Manson's "(s)AINT".
I am an avid fan of both genres, so I have a perspective of both sides, and I say that rock and rap are basically the same thing.

Derek- "Damn, man! Rap misic is da shit!"
John- "Dude, rap sucks! It's just garbage! It's about nothing except some guy talkin about bangin his bitch, or him bitchin about how sorry his life is!"
Angello- "John, man. First of all, rap can be about a fuckload more things than drugs and bitches. Second, they're not bitchin to anyone! They're expressing themselves."
Derek- "And third, rock is just as equally drug related as rap, you fuckin hipocrite bitch!!"

Get the rap mug.A form of rhyming over a synthesized beat. Almost any rap song is about one of four things: 1, killing. 2, sex. 3, drugs. 4, a nonsense word repeated over and over. Though good in the beginning, in the past few years, almost any white/latin male thinks he'll be the hottest thing since Snoop.
A good example of Rap today is as follows.
"I goes to the Magic,
Damn, aint that his truck?
I guess you with him,
Screw him,
If it wasn't for you, I'd have to do him"
You're the one - Gorilla Black ft. Mario Winans
Anyone wanna explain this to me? If rap went back to how it was, not people complaining about how hard life is while wearing 500 dollars woth of gold and platinum around their necks, people wouldn't hate rap so much.

Get the Rap mug.I have the REAL definition of rap (I also want to clear some things up to)
See back in the day when their was real hip-hop their was a Mc who RAPPED, and it was poetry that takes skill. But today the thing we call RAP is much different than HIP-HOP. None of these Rappers that we have today can be called Mcs except for like five dudes. I hate when i see people in the comments section of a vid, say "oh he's a dope MC". No he's a decent ass rapper so yeah.

Get the Rap mug.A type of music. Lots of people hate it because the see shit on MTV and think that's rap. It's not. Rap can be great, or it can suck, like any other music. It consists of of lyrics, a beat, and sometimes editing.

A lower plateau is what we're above
If you diss us, we won't even think of
Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?
This rhythm really fits like a snug glove
Like a box of positives is a plus, love
As the Tribe flies high like a dove
