The whole "rap/hip hop isn't music" thing really grinds my balls. Music is something that you can listen to, be sold, be performed, be recorded, and has some sort of planning in it (Beat, Harmony, what-not). Why do you think stuff like silent music exists? It is technically music. Rap music has a beat (Instrumentals), harmony (See Chorus of "Show Me" by Kid Ink ft. Chris Brown), it can be sold, listened to, performed, recorded, etc. Just because you don't like it does not mean it isn't music.
