most popular rap nowadays is like this though...but when you say this, it's easy to tell you don't listen to rap in depth enough to really formulate a respectable opinion on hip hop music

to make hip hop, you have to have an ear for music
meanin' you have to know what works
or at least be able to feel what works
that's the most important part about makin' music
is goin' with what feels right
that's the problem...sure, their is a scientific aspect to music
or technical, but mufuckas ain't makin' music because the technical scientifical aspect appeals to them, they makin' music because it FEELS GOOD TO THEM!
so as long as you have an ear, and can hear, that's all you need cuz technology helps you put together your musical ideas, even if you technically don't know what it's doin' or called or how to play. anybody just can't make straight outta compton or a pe record or even some piddly soulja boy beat, especially if you don't know what sounds good or can't, at the least, feel what sounds good

you're a dj
how many times do you blend songs together that are in the same key or the same rhythm? i know you throw shit together at times cuz it FEELS GOOD!

you better recognize and stop tryin' to be the devil's advocate to prove some assinine point
