*Yawn*

I'm sure you don't listen to music that's made by people who are considered to be musically illiterate; but I sure do. If yr take on rap is that it represents 'illiterate social commentary,' it's plainly obvious you've never listened to the stuff.

>it lacks any trace of deeper insight and emotional depth.

Why, because YOU can't hear it? You want literacy, try looking up some of Public Enemy's lyrics. You want emotional depth, try listening to P.M. Dawn. Don't tell ME what is & isn't just because you don't like the stuff.

>it’s obviously appealing to rebellious, unsophisticated kids who have never been exposed to real music.

'Real music' as defined by who? YOU?

>other people’s music being scratched (plagiarized) by half-assed DJ’s.

Obviously nobody's bothered to inform you that people have to pay licensing fees to sample other people's music. Which means that people who are listening to rap ARE being exposed to plenty of music they wouldn't otherwise hear. You want examples, I got 'em. I've seen plenty of rap fans buying jazz & rock albums that they talked about being interested in solely because they heard samples on rap records. I suppose you think this is bad for music. You're entitled to yr opinion.

>Juvenile nursery rhymes set to mind-numbing mechanical repetition may be a form of communication, but it shouldn’t be pawned-off in place of real musicians playing real instruments.

I guess you'll never realize exactly how much like Mitch Miller you sound. Give it a rest, would you?
