Why do the majority people who play guitar seem more intelligent and open-minded than those who rap?
Most people who rap or are into rap seem to have a limited range of interests and tastes. Take for example, alcohol, you'll find most rappers and rap fans only drink hennessy and a couple of other choices and can conceive of nothing else. They aren't even interested in trying anything else and stick to the same thing for decades. Anything deviating away from the rapper norm is considered as gay or weird or unusual within those circles.

On the other hand the guitarists and those involved with bands are open to trying different kinds of beers, craft beer, and different drinks. They will be willing to listen or try other genres of music, etc. Many seem quite smart and have opinions on everything from politics to conspiracy theories, while a lot of rap people wouldn't even be able to tell you the name of 3 presidents not including Obama.

Same thing with movies. Those into rap only seem to watch and be into movies based around rap and ghetto culture. The guitarists don't only watch movies about rock music. They watch a more wide variety.

It can't all be to do with education. I know many guys in bands who have little or no education and are just working class dudes but they still seem to have more depth to them than the rap guys do.

So why is rap and rap culture more closed-minded than guitarist/rock/metal culture?

Re: Why do the majority people who play guitar seem more intelligent and open-minded than those who rap?
Guitar or any other physical instrument requires actual talent. And playing music is an analog to mathematics. Scales, harmonics, tempo are all algorithmic. Subconsciously the mind is developing mathematic memory while the fingers are developing physical muscle memory. It is well documented that musicians make great engineers, scientists and creators and vice versa. They are related disciplines. There may be some limited musicality to some rap but certainly not to the extent that someone who learns an actual instrument will have. I started as a musician, went into engineering and am now a materials scientist. I credit learning the guitar and developing that muscle and mathematic/pattern memory with my ability to recognize patterns and excel at what I do. There is a vast difference in my musically inclined colleagues vs those with no musical inclination. Those with musical talent are the creators, inventors and best troubleshooters. Those without can become quite good, but usually they just don't see patterns and are poor troubleshooters and creators. Music will enhance your life in every aspect. I honestly cannot speak for rap as it is a genre that I can barely tolerate, but I would recommend learning an instrument.

Rap is not about musical genius spent but rather about outta d style.

Hence the "big news" last weekend that some rapper made a rhyming line talking trash about another rapper. Musically they are probably less advanced than a beginning guitar player but boy o boy can they get some negative bullshit going based off shit like who dresses better. Rap is basically a soap opera.

The majority of people who've had lobotomies are more intelligent than your average rapper. You're not setting the bar real high.

Whenever i travel for business, I play a game at the airports. Because nothing makes some people have a more inflated ego than telling/sharing with their friends that they're at the airport. My game is I look for the overly self important douche traveling with the guitar on his back. So everyone knows he's a musician. I look for that alpha fail.

But how can you spot the rappers? I mean besides the obvious (big lips, wide nose, gold teeth, constant bragging, and overall obnoxious behavior).

I've never had someone at an airport push on my that they're a rapper and start busting our rhymes at a gate. But Ive seen a million Dave Matthew wannabes trying to get through TSA like a douchy 'singer-songwriter'. If they have a casual blazer on hits like double points!
