3 Problems with rap right now.

The important thing to note 1st of all, is that i cannot be bothered about writing rap/something/somehting else/
..... so im referring to the whole game as rap.You'll see what i mean.


Thugz.
Rhyming isn't skill. Rhyming as saying something is a skill.
It is not the desire the describe smashing someone head in because they have just looked at you funny. It is not simply having word associations so you never run out of rhymes. If you only remember words that rhyme, then you end up with something that can sound ok, but not say anything to anyone. Nerd core is like this, although it has skill involved.

Commercialism
"Fiddy" and his entourage (the other boneheads who dress and rhyme as badly as him) are owned by clean cut business men, most of the time, who want:

• paying fans, not talented artists
• best image available, because they have the worst poets on record.

On the plus side, they often work with some of the best producers.

UK Rappers "controversial and paints a harsh picture of city life..." and other clichés. Every single one of does. They also rhyme from the same 20 word dictionary and can't solve there main problem: lack of money.

Verses describe gritty problems in their life that no one cares about and the beat is usually awful. Some are slightly more intelligent than the clods mentioned above, but have no creative root in themselves.Voice sounds weak and unimpressive, whining.
