I have this argument all the time with my friends. I won't give my opinion here, but I'd love yours.
Does Rap count as music?
Why or Why Not?

The word itself means "to talk", but the genre of music known as "rap" is music only because of the music sampled.
Granted, I'm no fan of it and think it lacks anykind of musical talent.

This begs the question what's music? My definition of music is organised sound. Rap and Hiphop very lots suits this classification, it purely focusses extra on rhythm than melody. There are additionally gadgets in hiphop - the best occasion of a hiphop team that makes use of genuine gadgets is The Roots. notwithstanding in case you relatively need an occasion of 'sing-music' rapping, seem no extra than Otha Fish, with the aid of the Pharcyde. dazzling music.

it sure is. just because u dont like something doesnt mean that u have to knock it. thats stupid. thats like asking, "are jews people?" just because u dont like them.
what really bothers me though, is when individuals say, "if aliens landed in a rap concert, they would assume that there is no intelligent life on this planet." now what would those same aliens think if they landed in the middle of a moshpit at a rock concert? EXACTLY. dont be so ignorant ppl. plz.

Yes because just like Rockers or Screamo people we are actually trying to express our self in our music and maybe yes they are talkin about sex, money, cars but if you listen to the lyrics they're really talking about the fact that they want that money or the car or what a hoe not all females have done to them

dictionart definition of music:
1. The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
rap has melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre so it IS music. everyone that says it's not are just blinded by their ignorant hate for it that they cannot look at it clearly.
