There is context to judge rap music on. 
It might be subjective, but don't box yourself into a corner by saying there is no context to judge.
Doing whatever you want? I think Avant-Garde musicians. Even rock and country musicians can do what they want. Rappers didn't invent shock value, or bring it to prominence. |
The context line was mostly in response to you theory of the factor that divides underground and mainstream, which i realize was probably a joke.
All I'm getting at is that it's fine to not like it. Just don't say the use of it is wrong because it doesn't represent the literal definition. Nonsense language is a big part of hip hop/gang culture
