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.
