In addition, I'm curious as to why other commenters discredit rap songs that centre around violence and sex. Are these songs not also representative of a community, do their voices not have value? For many young people, these are the topics that have always surrounded them and rap can provide an outlet for that. Just my thoughts, I wonder what others think?

Like poetry, rap is is an expression of feelings or ideas.
The rhythm and intensity make it art.

Nowadays there's this new have of music called Trap. To me, that portrays Instagram short posts that want to be poetry but are just pretty, superficial, thoughts.
