To me, art that has the power to change minds and opinions easily trumps art of the sake of pure expression. Done!
But I think I understand what you're trying to express here--art should alter our world in some way. If I had to put a finer point on it, I'd say that the greater the art, the greater the effect. Great art also has both timeliness and timelessness, because it captures the essence of a time and place, in a way that it can still be understood at great time and distance.

Good point!

Nope, but we are talking about rap. There's a lot of horrid stuff of all genres out there ...jingle_jangle wrote:
..only rap numbers?
Yep, have to agree with that one. My profile says "Classical & Progressive Rock" so for me it goes without saying.
