"Agreed 100%. I feel that rap has been misunderstood by most people, as well as the mainstream media. It's great that you brought this up, as most people "rap", but do not understand the meaning, nor flow of the genre.
Like you said, people feel that rap is anyone jumbling words fast enough that many people can't even understand the lyrics. Rap (and hip-hop), in its simpliest form, has two main elements: a theme that the rapper raps about and a background beat. Thus, rap can actually be slow or fast.
Hopefully, we can get more singers that not only apprciate rap, but also take the time to understand the genre. Those rappers that learn the trade I, as well as many others, can respect."
