I don't like the part of ebonics where they try to sound un educated (although I do like that it's soul purpose (when done intentionally) is to piss of uptight white people).

HOWEVER... other than that I think that rap culture and ebonics is great... it is constantly growing and evolving and it takes quite a bit of smarts or at least quick thinking to keep up with it as it develops...

The only problem is that the only people really studying or appreciatting it are either the ones pulling the strings and white dudes who major in it in college.

But I don't really agree with those who would so quickly dismiss it all as crap... don't get me wrong TONS and TONS of it is total crap... but a LOT of these dudes are REALLY smart and write VERY intelligent crap that is both rythmically and lyrically VERY highly evolved IMO.
