This is not an attack on people who like rap. I just have to get this off my chest.

I can't stand rap music. All of it, and I know alot of it. Underground, aboveground. I hate it all. Several people whip up electronic beats using samples and various devices, and then rappers come in with some nonsense lyrics and just rap over it. Nothing is being said or created. It's just garbage. I hate the roots. The play instruments and are proud of that fact. They talk about how they are organic. Avril Lavigne has a band that plays instruments too. Then there is so much hype surrounding rap. Words like greatest and incredible are used to describe rap all the time. I don't think I've ever called anything I listen too incredible, but it is certainly better than rap. Rappers are obsessed with image, themselves, fashion, slang. It just sucks. I'm just getting started. I have some great rants about rap. Wait until I'm thinking more clearly.

My friend makes beats and everyone is constantly saying how great they sound and how incredible he is at making beats, but then so is his brother. What are the chances of a sophmore and a senior in highschool in the same family with no musical training having such prodigious beat making talent. 100%, because it takes no talent at all to make them. I can pick apart that crap in a minute. It might sound like I'm jealous, and I am, but I don't care.

Name one rap song with no extraineous lyrics that has a single well constructed idea. Not a theme with a bunch of random statements about the theme.
