Im not gonna completley flame you, and I will agree that a lot of mainstream rap you hear and see on on the radio and MTV/BET is pretty crappy and I would not label them musicians.
OTOH.
A lot of the Rap artists I listen too, are very much musicians. A lot of them make there own beats using guitars, drums, which would technically make them musicians.
Would you say the former Rage against the Machine were not musicians? What about the Beastie Boys?
