Yes, I consider rap to be music.

And yes, I would rather have my genitals torn off and shoved down my throat than actually listen to it.

I don't know about August Burns Red, but Bleeding Through is far from death metal.

are you serious man there pretty good why the hell is my sig so small?

is it small now?

EDIT: Please don't double post, and don't post in a thread just to ask questions about your sig. -Murder

I consider the music in rap to be music.

I consider the Lyrics in Rap to be song.

I think this about everysong occassionally changing the genres...

:laugh: Yes, and no one argues that beatnik freeform is music but it was never so popular either. If it had been you can be sure that there would be claims it was. It is as if by saying it's music they somehow become "legitimate". I just don't see the point. Why not accept what it is and rejoice in it? It's not like it is lessened by not being music, only by how it is expressed. Oh, how popular expression lesses it every year.

At least someone acknowledges what I say, sheesh. Hell, even if it isn't music, I listen to some of it. I genuinely like a small portion of rap.

---

Yes, Arianna acknowledges what you say and ignores everyone else who has sense enough to know that: what "music" is can't be contained within a box. Rap is music like it or not/ ignore the fact or not. Music takes a great variety of forms.

If you say rap isn't music, you might as well say Pluto isn't a planet....
uh, oh- wait a minute!!

---

:laugh: Not ignore, dissagree.

I used to believe Rap was music. Then I was exposed to real music and discovered just how insufficient Rap was. I became educated on the subject. :holmes:

I also learned the beauty of language. It has meaning and nuance. The culture who creates it defines it. So yes, music has a definition (your box) and yes, it takes many forms.

So I'll just recap; Rap can be used to make music but by itself is not music.

How did you become educated if you still believe rap isn't music?

rap is music i like rap :P its not like my favourite genre and sometimes it really can annoy me but.. metal is better :P a jrock :)

u beat me to this thread! no rap isn’t music you don’t need to be able to sing a note to rap its rhyming the background music is music obviously but real music is rock bands e.g. Oasis and professional soloists like Michael Buble or Katie Melua they don’t have to wear bling and make out their gangsters when most of that is just p are anyway and worry about how many times they have been shot.
