Do some people think rapping is a permutation of raping, subtly adding to the edge factor of this music genre and making it less likely older people will take to it than younger people who don't know - eviltoast

This is not a joke question. I am being 100% sincere when I suggest the similarity between the words might be seen as intentional by some very conservative minds.

    I’m not a fan of rap. But there artists who run head to head with any of the great wordsmiths of the past. Their artform is not the same.

    If someone says trap is a talentless genre, they are just showing their ignorance of the genre.

    Bob Dylan is probably one of the best mumble rappers that no one will ever acknowledge. Hes also a great song writer, but his vocals are terrible much of the time. Out of context, considering how high todays standards are, hes a joke performatively
