Shroedinger's Rap

From your conduct in this thread, no, you're not "nice". You intentionally get people riled up, and then completely ignore what they have to say.

And now i'm going to end this thread once and for all. Music is what happens when a noise evokes a feeling in an observer. If I hear a needle fall to the ground, and it makes me feel something, it is music. Therefore, all sound has the potential to become music, should it reach the ear of the proper listener. You claim that Rap makes you experience a feeling of disgust, correct? Well disgust is a perfectly valid feeling, and the fact that Rap evokes it is evidence that it does in fact affect you. Rap is a collection of sounds that makes certain people feel something, a phenomenon that you yourself have admitted to.

The people in this thread have already shown that by every existing definition of the term "Music", Rap is included. Even if you consider music to be limited simply to an "intentionally crafted" series of sounds, Rap fits. You claim that Rap Culture is destroying the youth of today, which is just as nonsensical as when people claimed that Rock 'n Roll was doing the same to earlier generations. By all reason and logic, you have been proven wrong, and yet you continue. The only possible motive you could have to remain is simply to bait people into arguing with you, which is known as "Trolling". Now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go watch a cheesy horror movie.

So, is someone gonna close this, then?

Isn't Cee-Lo Green the Cee-Lo Green of hip hop? Soul Food is classic.
I'm gonna assume you just mean Christian, because no Jew would ever identify as Judeo-Christian.
This is a pretty fun series of posts.

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.

I'm sorry but this phrase is hilarious.

I might have to start using "grinds my balls"

^me too. But seriously, what kinda stupid ****ing question is this?

Of course it's not.

Touche. He's changed so much since than I wasn't really thinking about it.

that's cause you're a sonnet-loving f@ggot.
