hip-hop and rap to me are still words that can be used interchangeably, though i definitely know the difference between their meanings. i should have been more careful of their context here, however, since their exact meanings were just mentioned earlier in the thread.
i can't really fault the rappers (other than to say that they may at times be complacent when choosing a beat to rap over) when their primary function is write and deliver their poetry. rappers who both produce and rap, are another beast altogether. if they do both and do nothing to move their art in a forward direction, then i can see where there is certainly something to discuss.
maybe if i could hear the particular sounds that prompted you to begin the thread, we could discuss from the same place. do you have the link to the radio 1 show? i looked for it all over the radio 1 website, but could not locate it.
also, give me an example of one of these rappers that isn't doing much, and maybe one who you think is - that way we can discuss specifics if you want to continue this thread.
btw - i hope you didn't feel like i was attacking you or anything - we're just chattin'
