Yup, I agree with Ed.....Never thought I would say that.....

Q-Tip is like my favourite emcee, He should have never left the tribe.

People that claim Rap isn't a genre, are just demonstrating, and openly acting out, their ignorance.
Do you know how much skill in wordsworth you must have to freestyle?? It's harder to learn to be able to freestyle well for 4 minutes, than it is to hit that high note when singing. Depending on how good you were already. Some people have it, some people don't. Respect it.
There are FOUR elements of HipHop culture:

*Emceeing (Rapping)
*DJing
*Breakdancing
*Graffiti art

They all require a LOT of skill, and A LOT of practise....And they all need each other to survive....When you are saying sh*t about rap, you are saying sh*t about All of the above. They go together as a culture.

I think even if you don't like the music, at least attempt to respect it, and don't EVER generalise.... Refer to who you hate, and what you hate about him, cause most hiphop heads can't stand the people you hate, too. If you don't do that, your just being an ignorant, disrespectful sh*t.

BTW, Think about how much hiphop sub-genre's go with the music, that aren't famous, that you are probably missing out listening to, cause all little girls listen to shit hiphop.

Gangster Rap - Popular
Battle rap
Jazz-rap - part of the jazz rap revolution (A Tribe Called Quest, Typical cats, ugly duckling, the roots)
Old school
true school - half popular (Jurrasic 5, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, de la soul)
new school
bass assault
dirty south rap - half popular (Nappy Roots, Outkast)
east coast rap
west coast rap
poetic rap - artists you don't understand. (encore, aesop rock, mystik) journeymen, roots manuva)
sci-fi rap - anybody that uses very technical lyrics (MHz, Deceptikonz)
raw rap - wu-tang was once considered this.
political rap - was popular (Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash)
religous rap - mostly islamic (Brand Nubian, etc)

Too each his own.
