And is rap music really "singing"? Think of all the talentless saps who cannot sing but they can remember rhymes and talk to the rhythm of the beat. BRILLIANT! Just BRILLIANT!
We've had rap around for so long now, I think there is a conspiracy amongst the rap community to keep it going as an "art form" because without it, they'd have to learn how to really sing or do something else.
I like some rap music. I really do. I've been a DJ at a major urban station where rap was a staple. But it's been DECADES now, people! When will this music style be replaced by something much better? It's because rap is more about attitude and lyrics than it is about being able to carry a real tune. So if anyone can do it, it remains present on the music landscape as the lowest common denominator.
Oh for a return to the mentality when real singing talent versus posturing and faking it, ruled the day!
