Dear Forest,

I read the article you recommended and looked in vain for any description of
the _music_ in rap. Everything was about lyrics and attitude. If this is
the case, perhaps the parallel, strained as it has become, is not with
Mozart but with Lorenzo Da Ponte.

On a different topic: Why on earth are you citing an anonymous, shallow,
poorly written old essay from an online term paper cheating forum?
