Hi community,

As the issue topic explains, I'm wondering is there a specific reason that genre seeds doesn't contain 'rap' as a genre? I do notice that 'rap' is a genre for artists though.

Thanks,
Ruichen

This would have been a better question for the Spotify Web API developer forums because this is about what they choose to return.

Either way we can now close this as Spotify deprecrated this endpoint. I've updated the code to warn about it github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy@e37b1a8a55
