iz rap music???

[rukus]

lyrics dont make the music.
lyrics without music is poetry.

rap is music, just b/c you may not like/appreciate it, does not mean someone else doesnt like it.

personally im not a fan of rap, but appreciate the music underneath the rapper.
an artist that uses an autotuner (kanye west, 50 cent, beyonce, cher) isn't a true musician, but a published item.

Rap is definitely considered music!! The beats generally consist of a wide variety of instruments and even modulations in Tempo. As rukus noted Lyrics don't make music, but i believe rap music is more creative and flexible with lyrics than any other musical genre. Most (good) rappers use complex and thought provoking metaphors and similes. Also rappers use literary sound devices such as meter and Alliteration to create a vocal rhythm in their words.

I admit that I've been out of the loop for quite a while, but is there any particular reason that this person hasn't been banned?

Not sure they have really done anything banworthy.

But other than that it's pretty dead in here so at least he's helping with that.

It's not music I would enjoy, but it is music. There's obviously musical instruments involved or else they'd be standing there rapping in silence. The lyrics are all the same (and meaningless) and the styles are barely fresh, which is why I prefer Hip-Hop over Rap.

Other than that, the fog of stupidity must be spreading like wildfire around here.

This is a useless thread that is sort of messed up. I'm a HUGE fan of Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B but since I don't like rock, country, gospel, blues, jazz, ect you don't see me making a thread saying how they are not music because I don't like them. Rap is music if you like it or not just like rock, country, gospel, blues, and jazz, ect :|

Ah If only you were foolish enough to question classical...

Ah If only you were foolish enough to question classical...

What I'm trying to say is that rap is music if you "Hate It Or Love It" just like rock, jazz, blues, funk, gospel, alternative, country, classical, opera, and ect...
