I'm not the biggest rap fan in the world, but I do have my share on my iPod. What I like about it:

-- Wordplay. The best rappers are great lyricists. Talib Kweli, Chuck D, De La Soul, the Beasties... those guys could write.

-- Flow. I actually really like interesting phrasing and playing with the meter. Eminem is a master at this.

-- Beats. Hey, some times you just gotta dance. Rap has a good beat and you can dance to it.

-- Activism. This is a really personal one, but I actually really like the radical Kill Whitey kind of rap, so long as it feels from some place honest. NWA, Public Enemy, KRS-One... I like the in your face nature of it.
