Most overrated bands/songs/genre/etc. (rap, single, magazine, solo)

Rap is mainly poetry with a beat. It's not bad(Most of it, anyway.), it just doesn't entirely fit the description of music.

It seems to me your point is continually falling apart. HOW does rap lack things which would categorize it as music? You haven't given me a thing. Well, you gave me something, but then you took it back. So please, continue.

My point is still the same actually. A good deal of rap "music" doesn't have one of the essential parts of music. To Pilz, you implyed that because a magazine thought that Paul's best solo work was Ram, that it was fact.

I had made no such implication. You made an assumption that I had believed that the article would prove a fact, whereas I had merely wanted to irk my former colleague.

Fair 'nuff?

Ok, I misinterpreted what you said.

MHDTV · 06-30-2007, 11:11 PM

I said I couldn't name one song that had no melody throughout...

MHDTV · 06-30-2007, 03:19 PM

Ah, let me rephrase that. What I meant was large parts of rap songs don't have a melody. The only rap I've heard without a melody the whole way through is little kids trying to rap on the playground

Wow, I never thought I'd hear a professionally done song without a melody.

Melody: A melody, also known as a tune, is combined with harmony to create a pitch, which gives music(In my opinion)it's richness, and distinguishes it from poetry with a beat. Plenty of rap is very good, and has a melody throughtout, and plenty doesn't. If you really want I'll send you a Pm listing every song that has a melody throughout.

Nothing wrong them they just aren't music in my opinion. Plenty of rap is very good, and has a melody throughtout, and plenty doesn't.
