oh boy i love it. "basic"

thats classic.
I would agree with your post on the basis of your "basic rythmn" comments but as gangsta rap is based primarily on the artists rap ability, i will disagree. Because rap is not singing, and if the primary subject isnt creating a musical sound (i.e just talking really fast) then i wouldn't class it as music.
Maybe if the emphasis was on the allround layout of the "song" then you could class it as music. But when theres a tedious beat, that is only there to ease the coarse sound of the rapper, is just not music. It's talentless perfection.
