You know the song was written with the rap break, right? Rhiannon constructed it that way. It's not like the guy just walked on stage and grabbed the mic. If you don't like the rap break, you really don't like the song and don't really have clue as to what it's about.

Powerful song and performance.
hmm, this lady is so talented... I think she might thrash me for mentioning her nice looks. So I won't, we'll leave it.
Better as a Chocolate Drop.
She's talented but I loved the Chocolate Drops and miss them.
Starts out like an Staples Singers song from the 70s but unfortunately ruined by the rapper.
