Rappers become actors because their both performance art, even if you wrote the song theres a performance factor , timing, speech, body language, playing with different tones etc. i don't see the correlation that if they can they can automatically rap.

Rapping is the skill but making music requires more than just rapping skills it needs concepts, complimentary, cadences etc .

The more hiphop becomes like other genres the more loses its uniqueness. Black people have unique experience and it should be expressed its own way. Thats probably the reason kids don't know hip-hop history because its not hip-hop from the culture but from the mainstream perspective.

Don't get me wrong i know the industry and how it goes and i'm not arguing because they have to do what they have to but i feel like people should fight for the integrity of the game just like baseball did with Steroids
