It should annoy you, challenge your assumptions, speak truth to power, show your least attractive attributes, A glamour shot is not art. Art can celebrate beauty but in its most powerful form it does not. Think Guernica.

Interesting commentary. Although your segue from rap to art is confusing.
I disagree with your singular viewpoint on art. Guernica - Is a famous piece of artwork. Why is it considered art? Because of the artist? Because of the artistic themes or unique artistic style of the artist? Would it be art if you did not know what the images represented? I believe it is the beauty of all those forms of expression together not of the challenges it creates. The challenge should be of the creator, not to challenge one to interpret it. Think: "The Mona Lisa," "The Starry Night."
Definition google:
art - "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power."
