What draws you to a rapper?

[Neuromancer]

What draws you to a rapper, what do you listen to a rapper to? What makes you continue to a rapper?

I tend to listen to lyrics and storytelling. Complex rhyme schemes and literary devices. I see rappers like any other writer or storyteller so I treat them they are.
