Yeah, agree with Tesla. I'm not a massive Star Trek fan but I've always seen it as more ideas than action based (the US's equivalent to Dr Who, in a way).
The use of rap didn't have to be inappropriate but for me it comes down to motivation and I didn't see any genuine reason for it being there other than as a way of attracting the kind of audience Hollywood execs think a film has to reach just in order to survive. Same as the brief underwear shot of Alice Eve which, as nice as it was, just seemed like it was there purely for the trailer.
