Probably.  But can rap exist without self-glorification?
Inquiring minds want to know.  Or not...

I attend regular jam sessions, and am in an informal group that's
getting good enough for open mic sessions (if I could talk the

True.  I used to think of Mozart - as well as baroque music -

was a delight.  Playing baroque music is fun too, because you
see it from the inside.  There's a lot to see.
