Many people who like rap don't like the rap people describe when they say why they hate it. Some I like--usually the crowded, rough, multi-voiced stuff, gets something like that Wattersons sound, and some of the stuff that uses collaged samples of moody jazz. De la soul? I think, had a good record. Some Diggable Planets stuff. But I get tired of it, don't like enough to really follow it. It's certainly folk music, but as a question of filing it, most people would just say rap, hip hop, wouldn't look for it under Folk, so I don't see much reason to worry over it as a sensitivity or inclusion question. Most record stores Rap sections are triple the Folk.
