because hip-hop is music, rappers are musicians, and should therefore be held to the standard of other musicians. this means, among other things, that they should not be able to get away with using karaoke tracks (or even worse - their track with vocals still in) for live performances

Eh. Most people go to a rap show to get hype or hear the ad libs/freestyles they do over their art so that ones kind of a wash

what do you mean by that exactly?

beyond the high-school-variety-show level, music should generally be performed with a band, or at least an accompanist (the singer can also be the accompanist I'd definitely be into a rapper who could accompany themselves on guitar or piano). I do not think hip-hop should be exempt from this
