rap isnt good, if you knew anything about music youd appreiciate that. i mean it is cool to listen to now and then, but in real music the music expresses just as much as the lyrics if not more. ie if their werent lyrics in a song you get the feeling. in rap the music has no meaning at all and is thrown together. have you ever played around witha drum machine or a nice studio keyboard coming up with good beats is not nearly as hard as you think. no one over the age of thirty who isnt a rapper himself listens to rap regularly. that really doesnt mean anything but for the most part its true.
