This same pointless fight happens every generation.
I don't care about the content, whether the composer is an angel or a demon. For example, John Lennon composed the song "Imagine", the atheistic views of the song contradicts with my Judeo-Christian views, but I still like it because it has a nice melody. At least rock and roll has guitar solos and a skill in making licks and improvisation. Yeah this people dropped out of school, but they're more brilliant than rappers, who can barely play an instrument.

Have you heard of the saying "All talk with no action?", that's what rap is about.
