Is hip hop and rap educational?

Anything you learn is educational so if ur learn something, yes

It really depends on the lyrics. Though both have some influence on the listener's thinking and mood, the actual words themselves have the power to affect one. If the lyrics are peaceful and against violence, it may make the listener feel as if they also want to be part of the change that ends violence. If the lyrics are violent and explicit, there may be an adverse affect. The same applies to jumpy and 'hyped-up' music against calm melodies.
