Gotta agree with uncreator here. Some of the greatest artists have been hip hop/rap guys. Some of my favorites are Tupac, Snoop, Eminem, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Busta Rhymes, and Aesop Rock. I don't know as much about it or as many good artists as I'd like, but I like these guys.

I think most people don't like it because they don't give it a chance. I didn't like Tupac at first, but once I started really listening to him, I realized he's amazing. Also, I think today the majority of music on the radio, rap or not, is terrible, so if you don't give rap a chance and pursue it yourself all you're going to hear is the bad stuff. There's a lot more rock music that has been produced over the years I think, so there's bound to be more "good" rock than "good" rap, just because rock has had a lot more time. So there's less good rap to be found than good rock, I THINK, but it's still worth going after.

I'm really glad you mentioned Aesop Rock. He's one of my favorite rappers. And I liked your point about pursuing rap for yourself that was good.

And on the subject of whether or not rap is music - I can see where you guys are coming from...rap is essentially percussion, a little bassline, and talking....but if you only look at music for music then you're missing half the experience. A big part of music is lyrics...poetry is a big part of the experience, even if it is urban themed and without melody. I doubt half of you could talk as fast as Tech N9ne and not trip over your words. Simply the ability to ennunciate at high speeds like that is admirable. As I said before though, there are lots of rap/hip-hop groups out there that have creative musical backing tracks - especially in the case of organic hip hop because ALL their tracks are bands behind the rappers. You just gotta know where to look. cool.gif

You should all look up Madlib.
