Lol, "actual research on rap." How about this - listen to some actual music. Or if you are under the delusion that rap is "poetry" (lol), read some actual poetry. You know - stuff where "ho," anything that rhymes with "itch", "gat," "Glock," "nine," "bling", any synonym for cash, any expensive car name, any nickname for drugs do not make up most of the "lyrics" and imitation fart noises do not make up 25% of the "music.'
