In what category would you put rappers?
Are they also some kind of authors, poets or would you put them in the musician category?
They are lyricists, at least, the ones without ghostwriters

And how would you describe their skillset?
Do you think they are skillful wordsmiths who have a born talent to rhyme or is it something many people can achieve?
Obviously, we ignore low iq rappers when we discuss this. kek

The most successful lyricists tend to have interesting experiences to tell, and good vocabulary, neither of which we are born with. Also, they know how to manipulate their inspirations well
