Really? Well, even playing guitar or piano is just pushing buttons so to speak. Buttons that produce sounds that progressively increase in pitch by a semitone from button to button. Having a bunch of buttons is one thing, making them produce coherent noises that can hold someone's attention, on the other hand is an entirely different story.
Dude, it's not like drum machines produce AN ENTIRE VERSE when you press one button! As a matter of fact, the fact that the beats on a drum machine aren't all that different (how many octaves does a drum machine have, can you play harmonics on one, or pull a hammer on-oxymoron there!) makes it all the more difficult to worl with and be interesting at the same time. It's a bit like if your guitar had two strings and three frets. You keep saying it's easy, take the many suggestions given to you to actually try it out, and come back to us with how it went. And we'll want an MP3 file so we can hear how you really can be "badass" (in view of rap's low standards).

There is this movie, I think it's called The Heist, where this short Italian actor ( I keep forgeting his name, he is called De' Something) calls a dude a "contrary mutherf*****". I wouldn't want to insult you, especially in view of how one good Doc doesn't like profanity used on others, but if it wasn't for this, I think that description would work very well in this instance.
