Aaron, I thought you were all about quality content.
This "music" has no content at all, thin air.

I love people like this!
Here is a challange, think real hard and then try to repeat at least half a verse of a current rap song and also an old one. I bet you can not even understand half of what they are saying and even if it was written down for you the terminology and things they are talking about go completely over your head. It is interesting how people often dislike things they get frustrated with because it is not easily understood by them.
Rap tells a story about things that happen in urban life, it is clear and concisive story telling with plots, character development rising action and often resolution but uses dialect that you may not be able to understand, this does not in anyway make it any less musical than other forms. For instance I can not connect with some whinny kid talking about how his gf dumped him and the world is shit and everything is dark and there is only pain, not trying to hear that. Likewise you can probably not connect to the lifestyles they talk about in any way, does not mean shit on it.
I also challange you to write an kind of story by constantly rhyming words from the english language, then if you can do that I want you to set it to a beat that keeps people's heads bobbing, then I want you to verbally tell me that story while keeping up with the beat and using vocal styling.......
