Are rappers really musicans? (rap, rock, the roots, Eminem, MCs)

I don't hear much good hip hop on the radio , but then like I said I don't hear a lot of good rock music on the radio either but it must be out there because I find good examples of both.

So it's adventurous to take the music out of music?

Depends on what your definiton of music is.

Rap and rock aren't the only two types of music out there. Not listening to rap is exactly being narrow minded.

No it isn't , but dismissing all of it based on it not being 'musical' is

Alright tell me who can I listen to that actually doesn't sample and really writes their own music? I swear I've asked other people this before and they basically give me the same sh**ty stuff.

Did you miss my post on page one? I mentioned a couple such bands.

**Janszoon** · 05-22-2007, 08:49 PM

To take a really, really popular example: how about Outkast? Both those guys are multi-instrumentalists.

Ok you guys are right, it is a generalization. There is a hell of a lot of "musicans" out there making a hell of a lot of money for not making any real music. And I still think the majority of rappers aren't musicans, but thanks for actually holding a civil debate.
