That's a pretty naive understanding of rap. A lot of the rap you hear on the radio is crap but not all of it is.


I didnt say any of it was crap, I just said it;s not great songwriting. the bulk of it is a message and the sound of the word.

When they rap about something important it's a powerful medium, but if you want to be a songwriter, thats not the thing to study.
