Hip-hop is on the increase here, but mostly people are only listening to 50 and Nelly for the catchy hooks and shit, i only know of a few people who actaully listen to the lyrics being rapped, and being able to relate.

Most people like the rock/rap crossovers, which are just plain fuckin' annoying, but everyone is entitled to thier opinion.

Rap to me, is a way that i'm able to express my passion and emotions, "through my words i can let you into my life.". It's just so real to me, word.
