on the subject of rap, we should remember Sturgeon's Revelation, i.e., that: "Ninety percent of everything is crud." That is, only about 10 percent of any genre is worth it. I think for some genres, it's only 5%. But the point remains that it's a mistake to reject an entire genre based on a cursory study.

^^^^ CB; Sounds like it would be ok to reject 90 to 95% of it though.
