I may turn off younger people, but rapping gets no artistic respect from me whatsoever. When a 9 year old can talk and shout in rhyme with very little practice or perceivable controlled musical voice and be a little uboob celebrity for fifteen minutes more power to them, but it's frivolous and void of real talent to me.

What always gets me is a rapper busting about tough life on the streets and dresses that way but goes to school in a private school in a rich neighborhood. I realize it's artistic license, but lots of these rappers live their rhymes and barely can keep a beat.

I may not be able to sing like Sinatra, even with years of practice, but I can learn to rap in a week. How is that credible talent. Any old body can learn to rap in hours or week.

Did a lot of freelance video work shooting music vids with wannabe nobody rappers thinking they were dope. It was torture.

I can almost handle rap with a full band behind them. But even then it's a struggle.

Noch is just repping any nobody rap punks. Well, maybe they may be known somewhere, but I don't see any of those names in big media.

Ya think?

A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell, Young Jeezy, Juelz Santana, Lil Yachty, Soulja Boy, Nipsey Hussle, 2 Chainz, Migos, Gucci Mane and Fall Out Boy, ....

...and some he didn't list... toothless toto, rumpassFoYo, Eeny Peener, IchyJockboi, CRotchRotbrobro, MisssyDho. Must be few more he has.

Might be a sign that almost all known past rappers have stopped and gone into tv and movies. No talent 'musicians' become no talent actors.
Well, exceptions like Will Smith and a few.
