I don't care what you want to say about anything, but hip hop lyrics are most of the time a few steps above nursery rhymes, let's be honest. They bastardize the english language in the name of "flow". Hip hop vs. Dylan.....bah!

i ain't sure, but i'm guessing lots of people hated rock&roll when it first got popular, stating that it, too, caused the downfall of good music

It's hard to rhyme, man.

Any idiot can rhyme. There's even at least five standard rhymes you can make an entire rap catalog from alone:

1) Girl -> World
2) Holla -> Dollars
3) Block -> Glock
4) N*gga -> Trigger
5) Show-> Ho's

Now make your own Dirty South Rap:

I been over the world
I thinking about chu' girl
yo' werd ya'll holla back
because <insert your rap name> makin' dollar stacks
respect on mah block f'sho
cause n*gga like me got a glock f'yo
how yawl figga a n*gga
not gonna run when I pull the trigger
then I'm off the mah show
after that I'm slammin ho's

<insert stupid chorus with annoying R&B singer>

<reuse above rhymes for two more verses>

????

Profit

Dude... can I make a cameo appearance on your record and say "WHUUUUT!! WHA!AT!!" a buncha times? That would be hot!

(I apologize if I break sarcasm meters with that one)
 
"emo" is a type of music? meh, it's gotta fit under another category.

i'd have to go with country on this one. although, i have heard maybe ONE or TWO country songs that weren't that bad. if you've ever heard Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" - you just gotta love it. ehhe
 
As much as I'd like to say Rap is the worst genre, I can't.

The absolute WORST genre of music EVAR is that Mexican Circus music, otherwise known as Tejano.

I guess noone else has ever heard Schoenberg's Atonal compositions.

As much as muzak and bad rap and cheezy music make you cringe, atonal music makes you want to sit in a corner and rock back and forth sucking your thumb screaming, "make the bad man stop, mommy!"

Now there is someone who reduced music to absolute nothing. The amazing thing with Schoenberg is he had perfect pitch and if you didn't play is music right it was very obvious to him. However, if you want to look at absolute singing talent find one who can sing Schoenberg's stuff.

If you want dope lyrics, read some Shakespeare. Rap may be entertaining, but bending the language to fit your needs is not nearly as impressive as making art from the language that already exists...

SONNET 43
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

Compare that with:

Fvck all these nigg*z, if you ask me who
I'll answer back anybody you can think of
I'm S.P. bitch, I'm the boss of boss
I talk arrogant and me and guys link up
And these is more than words, if you feel like the songs is to you
Then it probably is, If I can't getta long witcha
Then I'm gon' hit 'cha, All in ya face and ya body kid
H-O-L-I-D-A, -Y Styles, hit somethin by trial
I'm the nigg* to hate, and when it's time to merk something bitch
WHAT! I'm on time in my job and I ain't never been late
If there's beef in the hood
A nigg* like P can't sleep 'til I'm good
'Cause somebody dead
This 4/5 gotta hit somebody head
I'm all up in the safe takin' somebody bread

For arguments sake, let's bring Dylan into the argument

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

I am not sure we have much of a comparison...

And as far as ItmPls' lyrical offering from Rakim. Does that tune have a point? It's just a pointless ramble about how great he is. Oh lord, what a poet!
