Why is it that most rap heads get offended when people try to define "how to rap" and what rap is?

I mean, whats the point of being a rap head if you can't even be honest about the definition of rap and how rap/MCing is really supposed to be strung together lyrically/simile/punchline in their bars?

What's so offensive by explaining for example the mere fact that a rap song isn't supposed to just have one type of bars in it (similes/punch lines/story) but rather a mix of all?

People in Hip Hop are too uptight

and serious I believe. It really is

petty for people to get pissed off

at stuff like that.

 

To me hip hop is so universal and

expansive that it clearly can't be explained

by just a few words.

 

There are so many angles and perspectives

to it that it literally is impossible to do so

without going into opinionated responses.
