"You don't need to have a great voice or vocal training to spit bars worth listening to."

No, you also need something to say, worth listening to, which is increasingly missing to me with modern rap.

And a good artist would be a good poet at the same time. Able to play with words and rhytm to get across his message.

So yes, rap might be easier to get started with - even before the time of smartphones, you just made the beat with your mouth.

But it is still not easy to make a good rap song.
