Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"

What can I say? Sure, let a thousand flowers bloom, but it is genuinely rare when I enjoy hip-hop or rap. To me it's mostly just Boom Boom Thud, Boom Boom Thud. Maybe on the car radio...

"I’m the seventh out of seven sons

My pappy was a pistol I’m a son of a gun."

"I’m just average, common too.

Just like him, the same as you.

I’m everybody’s brother and son

I ain’t no different than anyone.

Ain’t no use talkin’ to me

It’s just the same as talkin’ to you!"

All of these taken from memory. Forgive any missteps.
