Rap - a musical form laid low by "beeeatch ho mo-fo" low-brow lyrics from a large chunk of current performers.
Much as Eminem may be a knob, his lyrics are actually pretty good if you actually try to listen to them fully. Personally if I was going to listen to rap, I'd start off with almost anything from the "Ghost Dog" soundtrack (very very cool film!). Or maybe The Streets for that UK thing.

Still, I normally go for ambient, chilled Ibiza stlye stuff (TM), or light clasical for designing, Industrial for getting shit out of my system and driving fast, and almost anything by Apollo 440 for getting me bouncing round like a 6 year old who just drank a litre of neat Kia-Ora (try their tunes on either the Lost in Space or Charlies Angels sountracks for 120MPH motorway inspiration... if you're on the Autobahn, obviously...not the M1 of course...
