   think of the use of the phrase "post" in the above context as meaning a   
   diversion from a culture that has been heavily influenced by a preceeding   
   era.   
      
   post-punk rap makes perfect sense, when we have songs like "99 Problems" and   
   "One Mic", both songs that highlights raps ability to take on unusual   
   cadences and musical styles whilst still keeping it completely consistent   
   with its RB music origins
