I think people downplay rap because they don't understand it. There's two different levels of rap / hip-hop. There's your run of the mill rapper (sounds like nursery rhymes), jump, pumpk this girl i wanna hump - etc. Thats the rap most of you know of and?or listen to.

Then there's a much classier level, people defined as Lyricists who put phylosophical, political, idealistic ane realistic meaning into their style. They use pure class and creativity and focus on more than the generic, money, cars, clothes and etc.

Before you entirely downplay something, understand it, fully.
What I exhibited here was on the first level, simply nursery rhymes done in literally less than 2 minutes. Recording it is what takes time.

IF you're using this to judge overall hip-hop / rap, I guess im justified in saying Rock Music is goddamn retarded emos slitting their wrists while yelling into a microphone. Whos only talent is multitasking.

It's rap. It's the lowest-quality piece of music.

If you enjoy rap, good for you, but I feel that it's a disgrace to music.

He listens to stuff from 1940.
Also the soundtrack from Pan's Labyrinth.
And audio cassettes of the dictionary while he sleeps.

I'm going to have to agree with Wil on this, let alone all you guys like to go "LIL WAYNE, SUCKS", and or "WOW R-KELLY IS JUST DUMB AND HAS NO TALENT..."

Take a look at some real rap and real flow, I wish I could could give you guys a site to look up some mix tapes that really mean something. Stop complaining about your mainstream rap artists that are outplayed on the radio everyday and go online and take a look at some true poetry.

Some Artists I listen too...
Old Kanye W.
Wale
The Cool Kids
Sean Price
Wiz Khalifa (Taylor Gang err Die)
Jay-Z (MIXTAPES ONLY)
K-Cudi
Curren$y
Pacific Division
Immortal Tequ.
Quest
Common
Andre Nicatina
Nero
Big Sean
Biggie
tuu packk
Lupe Fiasco
Kyle Lucas
Juelz Santana
Living Legends
Mos Def
Nerd
John Legend
Dom Kennedy
Terry Kennedy
and much, much more...

Now for all you classical music listeners, this is the present not the 14th century.
Screem-o or whatever you want to call that has some sort of technique and skill, the drummers are pretty skilled and it takes talent, but give me a break... screaming into the Mic. sounding like a dying pig is just absurd.
