I don't see any difference between playing guitar, working the turntables, or twisting a little dial that makes terrible death sounds come out of an amplifier. It's all music to me.

RapSucks is certainly outnumbered, while everybody else is closing up his breathing space...

I mean they just sing, they're not musicians technically. I guess they shouldn't receive any respect in the music field either right?
Yea, if they aren't musicans.

I think a majority of mainstream rock is boring tedious rubbish but that doesn't mean I generalise all rock music that way. And I actually listen to rock music , I doubt anyone with your username would bother to make any great effort to listen to any hip hop when you have obviously decided that it's all rubbish.

You seem to be yet another of these boring rock fans who are totally lost at having to listen to anything other than a band with guitar , drums , bass & vocals and have no sense of adventure at all. If you think rap isn't made by proper musicians I pity you if you ever find yourself listening to any experimental or avant garde music , you'll be well out of your depth

Well I guess since I'm outnumbered on this little website I'll just give up. Man I'm an idiot for being the only person out of 10 people that has a certain opinion.

I agree. I mean an open E is an open E on a guitar. Millions of people have written songs with an open E in them but that doesn't make them non-musicians. There are no new notes, it's just in what you do with them. That's why I see sampling, as long as you make it your own, as just as valid as any other way of producing sound.

You have to live under a rock to not hear rap. And I can tell you for sure that I don't live under a rock.
So it's adventurous to take the music out of music?
Rap and rock aren't the only two types of music out there. Not listening to rap is exactly being narrow minded.
