and gangsta rap..no matter how **** you may find it is still music. it still consists of an arrangement of continuous sounds that create a basic rythmn. and also, technicality can overule flair..but in other cases flair can convey a mood a lot more precisely then musical ability- that is what music is about at the end of the day- broadcasting emotion. |

I would agree with your post on the basis of your "basic rythmn" comments but as gangsta rap is based primarily on the artists rap ability, i will disagree. Because rap is not singing, and if the primary subject isnt creating a musical sound (i.e just talking really fast) then i wouldn't class it as music. Maybe if the emphasis was on the allround layout of the "song" then you could class it as music. But when theres a tedious beat, that is only there to ease the coarse sound of the rapper, is just not music. It's talentless perfection.

Big3 - I was reffering to bands that try to hard (such as City of Dis) as compared to pop hooks. and bands with little skill (KISS, Greenday) relying on a stage show to make up for their lack of talent.
LedZepStu - MTV2 has redeeming moments. They still play music on occasion. the comment was directed at MTV, which is Real World reruns and the Andy Milohakis show. Urban/SATCHMO - Gangsta Rap is a subgenre of the larger R&B music style. However I think that it cannot be called music due to it'ssheer lack of talent to create a rhythm in the song. While some would call that music and on a technicallity they are correct it in the larger sense of the word is not. And the Emo comment: I am not an emo aficionado but i do believe that is does take slightly more talent to do. But your point is well taken SATCHMO - I have yet to hear horns done right in a metal song. Until that time i stand by what i said

Music isn`t just guitar, bass & drums you know. Just because you disagree with the context of the lyrics doesn`t make it any less valid as a form of music. So what rap is mostly lyrically based rather than musically. You could say that about opera and scat too.Yet I don`t hear anyone saying they are 'music on a technicality'. Basically what you`re saying is you don`t like it & you don`t understand it so it isn`t music.Which is the biggest load of rubbish i`ve ever heard.

Music means different things to differnet people. I consider music to be creative. I don't feel that Gangsta Rap is creative.
and Opera generally involves a pit orchestra.

I don`t find a lot of bands you rave about to be creative but I don`t say that they`re not a valid form of music.
I`ve seen opera done just as a solo act with no music before on a number of occasions & i`m not even a fan of it.
