Many people do not think of rap as being an intelligent form of music. I was one of them at one time. But then I began to really listen and think about it. Rap, the good kind that is actually thought provoking, involves creative metaphors, similes, and lyrics in general. Rappers say things like "You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled" or "like a sprained ankle boy I ain’t nuttin to play with" or even "labels want my name beside the X like Malcolm" (Eminem-I Need A Doctor and Drake-Forever). But the most impressive thing is how quickly they think of these lyrics with freestyle and how quickly they can say them. It often blows my mind! Take for instance Eminem's freestyle Despicable. It's incredible how people can think of such creative things so quickly while the beat changes and with no other previous thought to it. So I think we should give rappers more credit, because people often turn their nose down (especially adults) at the new music that is evolving. Sure, some of it sucks (Lil Wayne) but some people deserve some recognition.
