Obviously, whoever wrote this article doesn't understand the difference between "rap" and R&B. Every black modern musician on urban radio is NOT a rapper. Furthermore, a song/album can't be a "rap opera" if no one is actually rapping and the song is actually an R&B song. --FuriousFreddy 19:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Does it matter? This genre terminology seems exclusive to Wikipedia anyway, Trapped in the closest is the only notable example, seeing as the contributors of this stub of an article have completely abandoned the use of resources we might as well throw out the rest of the Wikipedia structure. Also no one mentioned race smart one, R. Kelly is acknowledged as a rapper and the less than notable singer on the track continues his career by featuring himself on rap tracks. 72.145.199.31 (talk) 00:53, 24 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I don’t know why Hamilton isn’t mentioned. Maybe the most successful Hip Hop Opera of all time. Based on a concept album, although I don’t know the public ever used the term Rap Opera instead acting like they invented the genre 2603:7000:A700:4EB9:45CA:A210:CA1E:8F66 (talk) 12:01, 18 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
