Kurtis Blow, Dana Owens (a.k.a. Queen Latifah), Full Force's Bow Legged Lou...All can rap but damn can they sing.
We all have our opinions but at least we're approacing the argument on the same playing field. I will say this, however...Rappers make better actors/actresses than any other music genre...With the exception of Kris Kristofferson, Harry Connick Jr. and Reba McEntire (to name 3).

I've gotta say, there's some very narrow minded people in this thread. It's amazing how arrogant people can be towards genres of music other people don't like. Just because you don't like something it doesn't mean that others shouldn't. Hell, I never understood why people like Anime but I don't tease and mock the people that enjoy it
Granted, I've grown out of my enjoyment of rap music, but that's not to belittle those who still enjoy it. I love all genres of music. I like everything from a bit of hip hop to country, classical to latin
^ It's amazing how fans of bad music can make blanket statements about people who don't like it.
If you're going to make a point, feel free to make it and point your accusatory finger at someone. If it's me, right on, say so, and I'll defend my stance on it. If not, either temper your words accordingly or hold your tongue.
Edit: That came out really smug sounding, and I was totally horsing around.

Of course, rap music is bad because you don't like it. Therefore is Israel bad because Palestine doesn't like it? C'mon now. People are entitled to their opinions by all means, but I've seen some very childish mocking of those who enjoy the genre in discussion in this thread, and that's simply un-necessary.
