Most Rap is unintelligent and a angry form of expression, just like the people who produce it.
This assertion has already been proven completely false. It seems as nothing more than racist trolling.

First, any rapper that can dance, to me, is just a member of a boy band
Dancing when pulled of well takes a lot of talent. Real street dance is a reflection of real street music. The boy bands and the likes of usher and b2k are not real street dancers. Their steps are watered down with moves you learn in dance classes that they teach in the main stream. Whether or not he was an idiot, Vanilla ice did have talent in terms of hitting tight steps. Is lyrics also punched a lot harder. When I read Em’s lyrics, they are nothing but weak shock jock air head goth gore with no punch. I’m white trash, I hate my mother, I sound like a cartoon, Dr Dre this, Haley that, bla blab bla. It’s tired. Then, whenever he makes the dumbest attempt to say something real, it comes off so exceedingly gay and idiotic that it makes GWB look like Einstein.

I didn't mean the music was similar. If you look at the most popular rappers, however, you will see that most of them write the same music about the same things not caring about the creation process.
Who cares. You are attacking rap as a music based on particulars. Rap is a type of music with high appeal because it
I can yap about who sucks and who doesn’t, but I’m not going to be running around bringing down rap music period. Why not just rant about music all together. Hey I heard some sucky rappers on the radio. Therefore, all music sucks. I hate music. Give me a break. It’s simple minded nonsense racially motivated claptrap.

The majority of popular rap is empowered by hatred, which in itself isn't so bad except that there is no variety.
Which goes to show how little you know. Sounds prejudice to me.
The entire culture is based on reality. There would be no hatred if there was no oppression.
Rap is about reality. It is empowered by reality. Whether you are rapping about stealing or killing, it’s all about reflecting reality.
Your so called “hate songs” are nothing more than a warped sense of what rap really is.

Half the time I can't even get my radio stations because of interference from a damned rap station.
You act like it’s a bad thing. Rap stations promote the rap culture which is the culture of reality. It’s not just all political either. There are party songs and such. Regardless, it all reflects an American culture that is highly appealing to many people. Some defend it, some such as yourself prefer to come down on it for every caviling reason you can think of. It is music, it is culture, it is talent, it is art, it is creativity, it is a reflection, it is style, it is appeal, it is everywhere, it deserves to be. The rap culture gives us a great form of entertaining musical form of art.
