text: for people who hate rap...? would you like it more if instead of a solo artist backed up by a beat machine, they were in a band backed up by a bassist, drummer, and guitarist(rage against the machine, faith no more). or if they rapped about better subjects(politics, poverty, oppression). good point, r.a.t.m were brilliant and the rap lyrics worked very well so i guess you might be right about rap, less [c]rap and more rage type music.
