Rap Sucks

And Margaritaville deserves its place in the Hall of Eternal Beauty. Thumbs down on Rap. Rap is ugly. I say this with no apology whatsoever to Rapophiles. Neither Beethoven nor Mozart would have understood Rap. In fact they both would have been revulsed by Rap. Suck on that, folks.

Which brings us to the question of whether Rap could ever be 'resurrected' into the realm of 'actual music.' I think that this endeavor could possibly succeed in the long run if talented folks would only immerse themselves in that odious culture with intention to redeem Rap. It is possible, in my opinion, to redeem Rap in the same way Omar Fitzgerald redeemed Muslim religion. But I see no other possible approach to the question.
