I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

DudeThere's no snobbery involved, unless you count respect for distinct art forms as snobbery. And I'm not making any claims to immersion in a culture being the motivator of using the 'approved word'. There is no approved word, the genre, whether instrumental like Krush and Shadow, live like The Roots, re-played like Sugarhill Gang, goth-centric like Gravediggaz or political like Public Enemy and early NWA, is hip hop. Not rap, hip hop.
That is not snobbery. It is fact. People that call it rap go on the same list as: people that use the word 'randomly' when they mean 'unexpectedly', people that say 'pacific' instead of 'specific', people that call the popular board game 'Trivial Pursuits', adults that read Harry Potter, people that equate commercial success with actual skill, people that pronounce the O in Sunn O))), those that respond with 'but it's just a theory' when evolution is discussed and people that can't make the distinction between its and it's.
Quite a list I can assure you.
A slightly potty mouthed Tim Westwood? Can I not be a substantially paler KRS-One?

Utter wank.They are rappers
They produce rap.
NWA refer to themselves as producing 'reality rap'....
You ought to go round their house and laugh in their faces for being so ignorant.

NWAAren't producing much these days. Unless Dr Dre is channeling Eazy E through a ouija board.
They are (were) indeed rappers, who rapped over music. They produced hip hop. Much as Black Flag produced hardcore with Henry Rollins singing.
Black Flag did not produce 'sing'.
I'm on my way to their house now. You got those tea bags you borrowed? Ice Cube's really narked. MC Ren is fucking livid as well. Eazy E's cool about it, he's dead funny like that.
