Welcome to Gaia! ::

My question to you is "Is rap music?"

Absolutely it's music. That might be a little unfair, it's poetry.

Yes, even Li'l Wayne, though, I would argue it's very low quality. You can find much better rap and hip hop, and it just proves how beautiful an art form it can be.

Try this, this or this for three good examples of really good rap.

It's music, it's just an acquired taste.
