I can imagine there's some rap/hip-hop style stuff I can like - after all, even Jack Johnson sings a bunch of songs in a rap-type rhythm (think: Good People), but at least he does it musically and without an overbearing beat. One could say the same of AnCo's Sky. So, in my mind it can be done, if it's done right. It's just that, I don't usually see it done to my personal tastes. Usually it's too obnoxious, which I can't stand.
