I would like to hear a rap instrumental, wouldn't that be lame

But I will reply to this any way.
New Rap is to rap music, what new country (ala Keith Urban, Rascal Flats) is to country music.
It isnt rap in its purest form.
Though this can be refuted for there are some rappers today who have just as much of an impact on music.
You say that rap songs have no meaningful lyrics.
That is bullsh*t.
Listen to "One Mic" by Nas, listen to " I Can" by Nas, both of those songs have meanings and excellent ones at that.
And they are both "semi-new"
Eminem is also one of the rappers that is keeping rap alive.
DMX is an excellent rapper and Common still drops a single every now and then.
You pose the most sterotypical argument against rap
"All they sing about is
bitchs and
hoes and
bling and doing
drugs"
Every person who has something bad to say against rap, always uses those words.
always
And the second they do that, I lose all respect foor their opinion.
If you want to define rap music by the latest Ja Rule single, then go a head.
That is like saying country music sucks because Tim McGraw made a sh*tty song.
New country, as said before, is pop with a southern accent.
New rap (a lot of it anyways) is Pop-Rap. Even pop rap cannot be generalized to the point that you do it to, but, nonetheless, it does give rap a bad
rap no pun intended.
Rap music has just as much of an impact on music as a whole as classic rock, punk, and any other genre you can think of.
To discredit it entirely is ridiculous.
To discredit it because you dont like 50 Cent, is f*cking stupid
