The basic idea of this thread is that Hip-Hop lyrics are greater than all other genres. It's right in the title. And the common argument seems to be that because Hip-Hop songs pack in more lyrics, they have greater meaning and depth, when done right. I disagree with both notions.

This hate of yours is imaginary, I'm not trying marginalize Hip-Hop or discredit it.
