It’s just kids being kids. Are rap “mixtapes” really that different than say street corner Doo Wop from the 1950’s? That said I’m not a fan of rap.
I would say very different. Doo Wop was musical.
It is different in that Doo Wap is music and rap wrap is not. Rap is basically spoken word/poetry which has a percussion backing.

For the most part yes.
Doo Wop
( did you have to fight AC 4 times to type “Wop” ? , I did /-(
Doo Wop didn’t glorify gangs, drugs, prostitution, murder and foul language.
Rush song roll the bones has a rap bridge that’s ok, but for the most part I don’t much like rap, not even clean Christian rap. Maybe if I was a percussionist I’d like rap more, but I’m a strings kind of person.

I don’t listen to Rap but doesn’t the Doo Wop have more melody and is not smutty.
Misogony, violent lyrics, hate, racism and nothing but a drum beat and free form narration. THAT is what rap is. That is why rap is crap.
