[General Discussion] "Rap Isn't Music"

I don't think it would be racist to claim that rap isn't "music", but if someone were to say it wasn't any kind of valid art form I'd probably draw a line.

I'm kind of in line with Dizzy Gillespie when it comes to music. He said, "I'm not interested in music, I'm interested in sounds." Music is whatever you want to listen to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious here, but bad music is still music.

How ya doing, buddy?
