Ryan McManus can.

Read about his jaunt around New York City in the Vantage as he and his passenger make it a point to dine at key places in each borough.

Video: Nas - "Nasty"

Nas reminding cats that rap music is actually about "rapping". 

To say lyrics have nothing to do with rap music is to say, you can produce a Hip-Hop song without beats.

You can dabble and create sonic fusions but that would be experimental, it's not genuine. At some point it comes back to the drum or it's spoken word.

Word to Spoonie Gee.

Yes, I love R&B, but I also love Hip Hop... I cannot tell a lie.
