Of course opinion cannot be wrong, but here is something you might want to
consider: in 2003 Harvard held a symposium purely on Tupac Shakur;

and now offers a class in "Modern Protest Literature" featuring the slain
rapper's lyrics;

Of course I may be confusing hip-hop with modern rap, but the point is
brilliance (or lack thereof) comes from the artist, regardless of the genre
he or she is in. Rap did not give us the Thong Song; Sisqo did.
