Is rap considered music?

For them and their careers, there's probably no tomorrow

Rap is an asylum for slightly agitated nobodies, getting restless with their limbs and getting intense and rich on a one-sided, egotistical conversation. Since when did a heavily choreographed troupe with a provocative dance routine and a heavily tattooed commentator ever properly illustrate a song?

Rap is as bad as lip sync, and, just as dishonest.

That's quite a self centered post and really nothing more than a bunch of gibberish.
Guap by Big Saun and My Nigga by YG are two examples of rap tunes I like personally.
Although I will suggest that a lot of music that some consider to be either Rap or Funk might be more in the middle as being Hip Hop.

Based on your avatar, did you watch the German Expressionist horror film Nosferatu?

That was Max Schreck. Not Bela Lugosi.

DwnWthVwls, we ended our argument back at page 12. If you go back and read my comments you will see that I initially dealt with your pop music comment & it has been adopted by more pop music for most than 10 years.

All musical genres have there day in the sun & than eventually hit an inevitable decline. Swing, jazz, classic rock, new wave, heavy metal, punk, rap. Music culture is constantly in flux so its inevitable, you can't stop it, which is what I've been trying to relay to the person who started this thread. Why bother going around and starting a war against a musical genre that's already fading in popularity.

I don't mean to be impolite but twice now I have directed my comments to the person who originated this thread, and twice now you have interrupted me. I would like to hear what he has to say, thank you.

My comment was a response to a post where you quoted me. It had nothing to do with the OP. If you don't want me to respond than don't quote me.

Quoted you? I never quoted you, until you responded to my post directed at Blanche_Minim. I didn't interrupt the conversation either, because I quoted directly from his first post, giving him a response to his initial question.

I'd rather discuss hiphop with the OP at this point. FFS, you asked my opinion on something and I responded. You're delusional.

You quoting me - post #111

You realize a forum is supposed to promote discussion between members and not consist of everyone commenting on the OP? Everyone here is allowed to comment on each other's posts. I disagreed with your comment and said something, idc who it was directed at. If you can't handle that you probably shouldn't join forums.

I don't care, I have a life outside the internet, there are people who I am close with that are not of my family and I will talk about different musical topics and they don't spend time bashing me.

So how about those rappers I posted who can sing that you never commented on?

Here's the link: Rappers who can sing

Just because you lost an argument doesn't mean that you have to be rude. I could throw insults around to, but I will not sink to your level.

I initially responded directly to him in the thread here,

http://www.musicbanter.com/1522030-post99.html

but before he could respond you interrupted here.

http://www.musicbanter.com/1522034-post100.html

I tried to politely state that the argument wasn't worth me pursing, but after accusing me of bailing I responded. You did not respond so I assumed we were done.

Three pages later after I go to initiate another conversation with him here

http://www.musicbanter.com/1522298-post139.html

and you interrupt before he can respond again, citing your not disagreeing with me for my opinion on Lil Wayne.

Yes I realize that the forum is designed to promote discussion between members but it is also considered polite not to jump in before someone else has had a chance to respond.

Our discussion wasn't over, you proved nothing. You simply decided I wasn't worth the effort to respond to. If your idea of winning is claiming it's not worth your time filtering threw bad music to provide evidence idk what to say.

I didn't respond because I went to bed. I came back today and answered your questions. How did I interrupt your discussion with the OP? I didn't even say anything about it. I responded to your questions directed at me.

Sometimes in threads multiple conversations go on at once, it's not interruptive or rude. I apologize for the insults, that was immature of me.
