A new study has shown that rap music causes irreversible damage to the brain (frontal lobe, cerebellum, and occipital lobe). While I could break down all the technical bullshit that I'm sure none of you would understand, I'm going to describe now how this damage is shown on an external level.
Frontal Lobe Damage
"The executive functions of the frontal lobes involve the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best), override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events. Therefore, it is involved in higher mental functions." -Wikipedia
We all know very well that people that are addicted to rap music are stupid, irrational, and have a poor ability to tell the difference between right and wrong (many rap fans are in prison because of the damage caused to their brains by rap music and drugs like meth and crack...but mostly rap music). From these observations alone, it is clear to me that rap music causes damage to the frontal lobe.
Cerebellum Damage
Occipital Lobe Damage
"Significant functional aspects of the occipital lobe is that it contains the primary visual cortex and is the part of the brain where dreams come from" -Wikipedia
From these observations alone it seems obvious that rap music damages the brain. But don't just take my word for it, try it! Listen to rap music day in and day out for 10 years, and see if you're not dumber for it. Rap music is very dangerous, just because something sounds pretty and tickles the brain in just the right way, doesn't mean it's "normal and healthy" (which is what every asshole that doesn't know what they are talking about says). The severe side-effects of listening to rap music may or may not last a life time, and they may or may not cause severe brain damage. The side-effects probably should be taken seriously (I would).

Cerebellum Damage
"The cerebellum (Latin for little brain) is a region of the brain that plays an important role in motor control. It may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language, and in regulating fear andpleasure responses,[1] but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established" -Wikipedia
We all know very well that people who like rap music have difficulty walking normally, have slurred speech, and have very short attention spans. From these observations, I conclude that rap music damages the cerebellum.
Occipital Lobe Damage
"Significant functional aspects of the occipital lobe is that it contains the primary visual cortex and is the part of the brain where dreams come from" -Wikipedia
The damage to this part of the brain is made obvious by the fact that rap-addicted-persons have a difficult time viewing the world, which is why they love bling so much (it's easy for their eyes to see, because it is shiny, and the bling allows them to see one another from greater distances). Brain damage is also shown here because all rap-addicted-persons dream about is money, sex, and violence--all of which are base desires, showing the poor connectivity to the higher brain functions caused by moderate to severe brain damage.
What is believed (by me) to cause the damage is the fight-or-flight response induced by rap music (what gives people the "adrenaline high"). In short, the stress response (i.e. release of adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine) that occurs when listening to the sound of rap music causes free radicals to damage the brain.
