Beats v.s. Lyrics: Why Debate?

Have you ever had a fellow hip hop purist try to explain to you why words are power and the beat secondary, or on occasion meningless? Or a casual fan about why they don't even bother listening to a song if the beat doesn't ignite them to move? While both sides may offer worthwhile arguments, to some the question still looms: Who's right?

Throughout the history of hip-hop, so many have participated in what seems to be the never-ending debate, with no apparent winner or loser being declared. Back and forth arguments have continued within inner circles and message boards alike, usually leading to opposing sides becoming even more seperate, similer to hip-hop's increasing generational gap. With so many opposing words being exchanged, some are left to wonder, who shall prevail the victor?

The answer to the question is NEITHER. And to that of the first paragraph BOTH. Confused?

Let's be serious. In a worlwide culture so widespread and diverse to have broken through many boundaries, is it impossible for both EQUALLY IMPORTANT elements to co-exist? Better yet, if one can creatively and consistently combine the greater elements of BOTH, how can one lose? I think I speak for a large population when I say no one can argue much about an artist who can effectively mesh the two while gracefully graining fans from each side of the so-called debate.

So, hip-hop consumers and creaters across the world, I say can we finally get over these petty arguments that only hinder the evolution of such a beautiful culture? Can we now accept that hip-hop has come a long way from the mic and turntable, to the now ever changing technological advances that further shape our inevitable future? And in conclusion, can we come together and embrace our differences and finally unite as one, supreme hip-hop nation? After all, isn't that what this is all about as Run D.M.C. said, "Beats for the Rhyme" ?
