Why do you think two rappers were killed in the last few days?
I don't know anything about rappers being killed. You have a more interesting question. Is rap a valid art form?

Full Disclosure: I have been away from TOTV for awhile and I am giving only a little bit of time to catch up. I'm not going to read the other responses.

To me rap is like Gilbert and Sullivan. There is a predictable beat and the words rhyme. The beats in rap can be far more complicated. It's like listening to that Blue something or other drum concert,

Watch this and see if you can find the beauty and brilliance in the medium.
