Why isn`t it music?

Music isn`t just guitar, bass & drums you know. Just because you disagree with the context of the lyrics doesn`t make it any less valid as a form of music.

So what rap is mostly lyrically based rather than musically. You could say that about opera and scat too.Yet I don`t hear anyone saying they are 'music on a technicality'.

Basically what you`re saying is you don`t like it & you don`t understand it so it isn`t music.Which is the biggest load of rubbish i`ve ever heard.
