<< I'll admit this isn't true of all rap
songs, but for many it is. If you really dissect the songs and listen to the
words, they tell a story. It's just a form of poerty, not necessarily bad.
Not
everyone can rap, it is a great talent. as for them not having rhythm, that's
like 50% of what rap is. it's just the poetry put to rhythm and there's music
in the background. (not much music, but it's there) >>

Well, perhaps rapping takes a very talented artist. It even requires a lot of
rhythmical talent. But I have to stick to Webter's on this one; as long as
there is no tune, or melody, or something of the like, it is not music.
