Not the dictionary definition, but what is it to you? I was talking to my friend yesterday, and he was playing 50 Cent. I'm like, "Man cut that gay shit off" So he asks why I hate 50 cent. Well I told him how his lyrics were shit and all it is is talking bout being gangster and doing hos. And my friend goes, well, that's all rap is.

I was left speechless. I knew people thought bout rap like that, but not that that people think rap is only bout that. I couldn't explain it because it was like 12:30 at night, so I let it go. But it made me think about how far rap has gone from it's roots of lyrics, and turned into image and beats.
