I would rather listen to preaching in church, than pointless yapping. I consider the lyrics of rapping to be dumb literature. I would rather listen to Shakespeare, than rap.

Rhyming in structural patterns? I would rather listen to a melody made by a genius, who studied and analyzed composition and went to school, than some thug, who dropped out of fifth grade. Don't start mentioning Tupac or Jay-Z or something, I personally don't consider them heroes or poets.
