+510 It's annoying when people say that certain genres of music aren't music, because they personally don't like them. "Country isn't music." "Rap isn't music." "Techno isn't music." That's irritating. Just say you don't like it, amirite?

This. So much this. Music is music, people have no right to accuse Rap and other genres of not being music. It's like saying gays aren't people just because you don't like them.

no because i can actually play musical instruments. i don't get a drum sample loop it and sit at a keyboard and press about three buttons and loop that. then call myself a musician.

Music is art and nobody is going to have the same taste in art. I might look at a plain white wall and consider it to be art.

Okay, all music is music, but rap is as far as it goes. If theres anything past that it's no longer music, because we're down to just lyrics and a simple beat with some of these songs. Not to say that one way or another they aren't great, just that we have to draw the line somewhere

Billy Joel said rap isn't music. I agree, but I still love rap.

Rap is an art, but it's not music. It's more like poetry to a beat, because it doesn't have a tune.

Its nasty poetry

I don't hate rap, but I don't like it either, and I think rap really isn't music. Not that I don't like it, but it's just talking. Country and techno are music, even though I don't like them either.

It boggles my mind how some of you are saying that rap/hip hop is not music. I just don't understand how you come to that conclusion. Music is the "art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion". To imply that rap/hip hop fails to meet these qualifications is flat out wrong. That is all.

(To Packnmets) I disagree. RAP IS NOT MUSIC! ITS TALKING IN A FOUL WAY! EVERYONE SHOULD SHUN LIL WAYNE! AND ALL THOSE OTHER 'RAPPERS' RAP IS GARBAGE! END OF STORY!
