Rap

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!!!!
