I don't think you're giving the medium enough credit. I suspect that rap could be an instrument of genius, if instrumented by a real maestro; someone with a ton of talent and skill with our language. It's this bar that I set which I suspect is why I am left wanting with the stars or even underground stars of today. Is it wrong to imagine Dylan Thomas being filmed fishbowl with Timbaland in the background repeating every few phrases in the break?
