So you say this isn't "music" and it doesn't "qualify" as music?

Definitions of music:

1. an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner.

Auditory communication of vocal tones? Rap is vocal, if it wasn't you'd hear no voices. Also I have heard several Rap songs with piano in it.

How about the song by Cam'Ron (although I will admit he's a horrible rapper and it was a bad song) What the World Means To You? Guess what, it's got the guitar and the beat from The Police - Roxanne.... DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?! Why yes, yes it did.

Rap is also structured and flows at a rhythmic beat. Hence why rap is pretty much poetry with music added to it. You can't spell CRAP without RAP and you can't spell CROCK without ROCK and you can't spell PLOP without POP and blah blah blahbiddy blah.

If you don't like Rap, good for you. Move on, call it a day, and listen to some AC/DC - Back In Black (good song) and just STFU.

People will like Rap, People will like Rock, and OMFG even people will like COUNTRY!! (Dear God, NO!!)

Deal with it.

rap is not crap. you may not like it but thats your own preference. I enjoy alot of different kinds of music. listen to a good 90's rap song by nas or 2pac, you may not like it, but it's far from crap. it's abrasive and hard honest poetry to beats that flow. With people, REAL artist expressing themselves. Real rap is serious and has a message. But every once and a while,(and now more frequently) someone will come out with a club song that everyone loves to dance to; sometimes they're songs that dont make any sense at all. people are just having fun when they're listening to them. These are different TYPES of rap music and you shouldn't judge an entire catagory of MUSIC off of 'In da club', 'lookin boy', 'in my white T' or any other song that has no real message.

This is ridiculous...it has nothing to do with the genre; this has no business being here, especially right before "Hello darkness my old friend.."

majority rules in this space & time. It seems that sex drugs rock & roll still sells well. I like music & some music just does not turn me on. In other words, some music I am uncomfortable with or it makes me uncomfortable or uneasy & some I comfortable with. Sometimes it's a matter of morals & sometimes it's just appreciation of art & other times it's the message or point that I listen for. Different strokes for different folks.

Ok. most of you idiotic people say rap is crap. You people are morons. SOME rap is crap, not all. Take Eminem for instance, if you listen to some of his more serious songs they are great & the lyrics are fantastic. God stop hating on rap! -_-
