You are very ignorant in your assessment of rap. Not all rap is about that...which is why I specifically notified in my prior post that backpacker rap should be used as a basis.[/quote

and also, I don't see how even backpacker rap has a higher intellectual capacity then country. Most of it is just saying how they need to get out of the ghetto and how they need to work out of where they are and how they have been wronged.
That's generally conscious rap that fits that description - Backpacker is more like Aesop Rock, MF Doom, Atmosphere, Afu-Ra, Athletic Mic League, type of stuff - even P.U.T.S sways more backpacker than anything else.
