I can't believe what Im hearing. Rap is not art? Are you kidding me? Have you heard of this thing called poetry, its kinda related to rapping, been out a few year longer though. Let see, I can think of a few notable artists:

Tribe Called Quest
Wu-Tang Clan
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
MF Doom
Outkast
The Roots
Beastie Boys
Kanye

These guys have more in common with Rock-n-Roll's bad-boy roots than a lot of the candyassed posers playing guitars these days. Open your minds guys, its a whole new world out there.
