I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, and my two cents is that the style of rap that is popular right now, AKA "Club Hits" is not worth listening to. I can't stand listening to the rap stations we have here, but not all rap music is shallow and made specifically for money.
I think (hope) that soon everyone who listens will realize that and will start to support real artists, not some slick production with autotune made for shakin your ass in the club.

ToiletDuk said: I would hesitate to call it "music". 
Well then, kind sir, would you bother to explain what exactly 'music' is, you seem to have a vast knowledge of it.
I'm tired of hearing people complain about how "rap sux" and "it's not even music dood." Just because you don't understand this particular urban language does not make it any less creative/rhythmic.
To me, music is self-expression in a creative manner. Creativity, to me, is a complex thought pattern which is outside of our ordinary realm of thinking.
To say Hip Hop (that's what I like to call it, HIP HOP) is not music is just a foolish statement. I know metal-heads love to throw it around a lot.
If an artist gets my neurotransmitters cooking, then he/she IS a musician, IMO.
What I appreciate about Hip Hop is the clarity of self-expression. When artists are trying to get a certain point across, the mostly vague poetry found in rock, metal, blues, etc. does not even come close to the lyrical dexterity some MCs are able to showcase. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
I appreciate all kinds of music, from Hip Hop to Metal, from Psytrance to Classical music, from Blues to Soul; Techno, Trance, House, Easy Listening are all great too.
What I find stands out in Hip Hop is the various elemets that make up this genre.
-Battle rap, which has an element of humour in it, able to make people 'laugh out loud', literally.
There was TOOOO many to choose from, so I hope this'll work: Big L - 98 Freestyle
-Story-telling. Skilled MCs at this certain aspect will take the listener INTO the story, making them wait patiently for every proceeding bar to know exactly how it continues. Personally one of my favourite stories by one of the greatest storytellers: Biggie - Suicidal Thoughts
AND
NaS - I Gave You Power
-Metaphysics. For you who enjoy philosophy and what not, there are PLENTY of MCs who will get you thinking about everyday situations in a philosophic manner. This next song is from my favourite (and IMO the Greatest of All Time) MC: Canibus - Poet Laureate II
-Dance. Yep, Hip Hop is great to dance to, just depends on what kind. This particular song is STILL a club banger, depending on location: Biggie - Hyponotize
-Politics. There's many MCs who have made it their 'mission' to use their skills and lyrical abilities to express how they feel about the Government and Conspiracy Theories. Keep in mind, these are just that, THEORIES. I doesn't mean that the artist 100%, absolutely believes in them: Canibus - The Grand Deception
-Braggadocio. Basically, this is bragging and boasting about how one is better than the other. When creative, one of my personal aspects of Hip Hop. Canibus - The C-Quel
AND
Chino XL - Let 'Em Live (feat. Kool G Rap)
-Flow. There's nothing smoother than when an MC seems to just flow with, and staying on the beat, like a little boat floating across the ocean. This piece I could've listed anywhere under battle rap, braggadicio, OR, flow: Big Pun - Dream Shatterer
AND
Biggie - Unbelievable
Last on this list, but certainly not least: -BEEF! Whenever two artists have a certain 'beef' with each other, and they solve it ON wax (which means through songs, rather than resorting to physical violence, well, it's just 'epic'. NaS - Ether
AND
Canibus - 2nd Round Knockout
Just to get things straight, I don't listen to ANY mainstream music, much less mainstream "Hip Hop". What you hear in the radio and the Top 40 does NOT, IN ANY WAY, make the REAL Hip Hop any justice. It's pathetic to see what type of clowns get labeled as MCs and Rappers today.
I MC myself, so when I hear people claiming that Hip Hop "is not music" I get very defensive. It's because I KNOW how complex a thought pattern can get, and that's why I appreciate it. Two of my best friends are Hendrix fans, and both play the guitar. Personally, I love listening to Hendrix, he's amazing. However, I will NEVER be able to enjoy him as much as them, as they understand exactly how difficult it is to play like Jimi. I mean, his solos and ability on the guitar does sounds complex to me, but I will never understand it to it's full extent.
That's it for my 'rant'. Hope you guys can check some of the links out and maybe change your mind about the REAL Hip Hop.
Cheers
Love and Peace

I'm betting the majority of people who say "rap isn't music" have never heard good rap & only are exposed to what radio stations play / what's on tv (pfft). Hip Hop, like every genre of music is an acquired taste, in my opinion. And like most genres it takes a bit of digging to find the best it has to offer.
How can you say this isn't music?

Because you do not experience life in the same way as they do--it would be like me trying to relate to a Muslim. Total hilarity.

How is that racist? 
None of you people grew up in the ghetto, you have no fucking idea what that kind of life is like. I grew up in a town that was at one point the murder capital of the country; I've been through lots of trying times, and I still don't listen to that garbage. This is why I find it hilarious--from my perspective, White people who never grew up in such circumstances and who listen to rap are complete fakes. This isn't just limited to white people, though, anybody who listens to that shit and who isn't from a similar background is retarded.

I'm not assuming this, but anybody who creates that style of music and isn't from an impoverished background is a stupid fag. That shit is retarded on so many levels, Tupac would roll over in his fucking grave.
