Isn't Cee-Lo Green the Cee-Lo Green of hip hop? Soul Food is classic.

At least rock and roll has guitar solos and a skill in making licks and improvisation. Yeah this people dropped out of school, but they're more brilliant than rappers, who can barely play an instrument.

Have you heard of the saying "All talk with no action?", that's what rap is about.

I'm gonna assume you just mean Christian, because no Jew would ever identify as Judeo-Christian.

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.

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.

Of course it's not.

Of course it's music. Like all music, some people like it, some don't.

I don't think you're a troll. Perhaps you're a bit thick, but that's not a crime.
