I like some of the earliest rap. Creative and different.

It soon became predictable and repetitive and its appeal was obviously directed at thugs and their lifestyle in the Urban Warzones.

It's chief problem is its lack of melody (not complete absence, but its simple rhyming and steady rhythms don't allow for melodic development) and it requires some level of ability to be Poetic. For the most part though it is NEITHER Louie Louie and Twist and Shout and 96 Teardrops NOR is it Dylan and Fagen/Becker and Paul Simon.
