good lyrical non-hatefilled drug/alcohol endorsing rap is music. Most the crap they play on mtv is not. Although, rap that tries to make someone understand how living on the streets sucks, not necessarily bad. (even if they swear a lot) As long as they don't glorify it. A lot of "artists" today use beats to cover up thier lack of lyrical skill, which is a problem.

I agree that attacking it without cause is immoral in away, but cmon, there is some basis. Most mainstream rap today is purely synthetic, without lyrical substance. And yanni never glorified smoking weed and smacking round some ho's. Course I never heard anything by him, so I may be wrong. I could get into how bad rap is a bad influence (unlike most other music genres sans certain rock), but not here. (I said my point in th eminem thread anyway)
barney the dinosaur cannot rap. 50 cent is an idiot.
(and do I listen to it? back in the day I listened to street/ganster rap, cause well, I could relate to some things. I don't now)
