A comment on 'The Endless Refrain' asks: Do we even want new music anymore?. Parent comment
No, you also need something to say, worth listening to, which is increasingly missing to me with modern rap.
And a good artist would be a good poet at the same time. Able to play with words and rhytm to get across his message.
So yes, rap might be easier to get started with - even before the time of smartphones, you just made the beat with your mouth.
But it is still not easy to make a good rap song.
