Having worked with many a drum machine, I can say you are flat out wrong. Drum machines are terribly difficult to be creative with, and a lot of rappers have done an AMAZING job keeping beats original (forget about remixes and whatnot, I'm talking about self-written beats). There are ZERO hard parts to any Korn song unless you are an ABSOLUTE beginner. Most of their songs involve INCREDIBLY repetitive instruments, and boring, emotionless basslines. Stevie Ray Vaughn makes his instrument SING. Iron Maiden make their instruments SING (complicated counterpoint harmonies to be exact). Korn makes their instruments drop trow and squeeze a loaf on the sidewalk, which was cool until they did it 9,000 times and now one cannot WALK on that sidewalk without stepping in instrument excrement. I see what you mean about the drum machine taking knowledge, but you don't realize that it takes talent as well. You said it yourself: "It takes musical sense and knowledge of the machine." Well, musical sense IS talent. That's what a talented guitar player is, it's a player with great musical sense. Therefore you've proven yourself wrong. It requires the same amount of talent or musical sense to be a great rap artist as it does to be a great rock artist.
