Rap is a sin to good music and should be banned from the face of the earth.
The lyrics do not matter.

saying rap is music is blasphemy to good music.
You may call it "sound", and you may love it. Nowadays you can find people loving lots of strange stuff. But never call it music.
I'm not even talking in the negative social aspect of rap, the incentives to violence, etc. I'm just talking in the musical sense. It's rubbish.

it promotes in your evil such as the desires that lead to killing and
hatred and so on, what do you think? The beat it by itself or style is
meaningless as far as good and evil are concern in my opinion, you
don't have a good 3/4 or evil 3/4 or the types of the instruments that
cause someone to do good or evil things.

Consider this parallel with the eating of food. The same principle I think can be applied to listening to music.
Mark 7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
