I never said anything about rap being minimalist, it was you who first used the term.

We didn't get rid of the melody with rap, the vocals were simply turned into a percussion instrument. There is still melody in most hip hop songs, it's just not coming from the vocalist.

Right, and I already said it is the lack of melody
in the vocals that I do not like.
