A rap music instrumental does more for a rap artist's vocals than one may think. There was a time in the past where the genre of rap was more focused on the lyrics. However, in the current generation of rap, the rap instrumental can be just as important to the song as the rapper's voice and lyrics.
Some would eve say that the artists of today lack strong lyrical content, and rely heavily on the rap music instrumental, too much in many cases.
Sometimes, a rapper who actually has lyrical skill will purposely rap over a 'not so hot' rap music instrumental in order to showcase their lyrics. However, this may not always be the best move, because if the beat is not up to par, then listener's of today's rap may automatically and quickly tune it out.
