And one should never make the mistake of judging whether something is art or not on the basis of whether you like it or not.

Daisy, this staement is all sand. It doesn't even sound like it means anything important, it's absurd through and through.
If you don't like rap, fine. No one is accusing you of being afraid of working-class and poor black culture, and there is no need to justify your taste in music. But please, don't go all pseudo-scientific on us.
