Real rap sounds much different.

It is 100% rap by all metrics.

It seems to lack rhythmic syncopation. The beat remains steady throughout the entire track, without any unexpected or offbeat accents. It would have been interesting to hear some rhythmic variations or syncopated patterns to add more dynamism to the music.

Is a rap song is performed in the woods and nobody is around to video record it, does it make a sound?

So is it about rhythm in the voice or not?
Suddenly when it's convenient, you pull this 180.

If you remove one drop of water from the ocean it is still an ocean. If you believe this song is rap, there are plenty of earlier examples of rap.

The VOICE displays:
1. Syncopation
2. Pitch variation
3. Syllable lengthening and shortening
4. Voice has a pitch of some sort, not just talking

All voice has pitch, so I should have been clearer. The syllables in rap each have a distinct pitch. In natural speech, you do not register or hear the pitch. In rap, it is spoken so that the pitch may be heard. It is between talking and singing.

Um, no, you don't have syllable lengthening and shortening so no brotha would call that an authentic rap.

Wait, you think the word "fifty" has one syllable? lol God, I did not know I was conversing with a special needs person. I apologize for arguing then.
