Rap is a form of expression and just because it may not apeal does not mean it is crap.

In matter of fact, many words are very profound and one should stay open minded to the most profound way of expression.

Did you like the music of your parents ? Most likely not as a teenager.

What about later on and, how to rappers like your music of the 60ths and 70ths ?

Be - and stay open minded and you will discover all sorts of Marvells not only in RAP but in different cultural approaches.


Music is a mans (womans) soul and just because not all souls are shining does not mean that they are not brilliant and have feelings to be expressed...

Hey I suffer when I hear some of those oldies and stuff you all call classics..
It's all a matter of what you like.
Doesn't mean it's crap if you don't like it.

Music has a melody. Rap is not music.
If you want to present the idea that it is
rudimentary poetry for the uneducated, I can accept that.
But, it CLEARLY is not music.

for the arrogant and ignorant..let me "school" ya ..ghetto enough for ya? hahahah



DEFINITION:The culture of hip-hop has been the source of dozens of words and expressions in American English, of which rap is one of the most familiar. The word is probably a development ultimately of rap meaning "to hit." It shows up in the early 1900s in the extended meaning "to express orally," as used by so notable a figure as Winston Churchill in 1933. Over the next few decades it came to mean "to discuss or debate informally," a meaning that was well established in the African-American community by the late 1960s. A decade later the word was applied to an evolving style of music characterized by, among other things, beat-driven rhymes of an often improvisatory nature. The slang that is integral to the lyrics of rap continues to be a source of borrowings into colloquial American English; recent examples include chill, meaning "to calm down," and dis, meaning "to show disrespect to." These are but the latest examples in a long series of such borrowings from Black English stretching back a century or more, many of them directly from popular music lyrics or from musicians' lingo.


---sounds like music to me.

It may look that way to people who don't know better, but since there is no melody, it isn't.
Instead, it is rudimentary, often featuring a simplistic rhythm using eubonic utterances and a monotonous common beat.

At BEST it could be considered a common urban form of simplistic poetry.
But, that is being extremely generous.
Obviously, one would be better served by investigating the works of real poets with linguistic talent.
