Anyone who has seen a rap show worth a shit knows this too. Good point.

Not anyone can jump on the tables and scratch or produce a show. A rap show can be ridiculously good, or really bad. It all depends if the artist has the stage presence to accompany their lyrics and beats. I suppose this goes for any genre though.

Well I've been listening to a Primal Scream song where Jesse Jackson is looped saying

"Today on the show you will hear Gospel, Rhythm & Blues, and Jazz. All Those are just labels, we all know that music is music"

And then i thought "Fuck i hate PS3 and Xbox fanboys"

He's probably never been to a rap concert. Ever. And I don't blame him on that, because I've never been to a Country and Western concert. On the other hand, I'm not stupid enough to start ranting about country myths.

Scratching isn't exactly easy. And while I'd like to claim I could freestyle, I'd probably make B-Rad from Malibu's Most Wanted look like Eminem. Making loops requires skills in composing, unless you're ripping the song verbatim (And most acts don't).

And not to mention the number of rock acts where the band actually plays secondary to the lead singer or guitarist.
