Re: Rap is technically music
there are a lot of musical preference heatmaps but I can't find any for arbitrary definitions of art

Re: Rap is technically music
I mean as long as it has an intentional beat it pretty much qualifies as music.
Like how a single paint stroke on a canvas is art. Even if it's cheap and honestly, lazy imho. Still art though. |

Re: Rap is technically music
music
/ˈmjuːzɪk/ noun 1. vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Rap fills all of these criteria, so yes it's music. |

Re: Rap is technically music
good job making a thread so fucking stupid it made me make an alt account just so I could post
Quote:
so I'm hoping here that you're just an ignorant idiot open to be educated on what music is, and not some idiot who's parroting conservative talking points on a subject that you clearly don't know anything about, ala ben shapiro (who effectively holds the same argument you do about rap but doesn't even consider it to fit the "technical definition of music..." whatever the fuck that is) youtube.com/watch?v=_3utH8Nm_D4 if you have the time, I strongly recommend watching this video. not only does it debunk your boomer idea of what music is, it turns the argument that music needs pitch into a steelman and THEN debunks your boomer idea of what music is. when you say "not enough" pitch, what do you mean by "not enough?" can you link a piece of music that's on the line of not enough and just enough pitch? would you consider ambient music or drone music to not have enough pitch? what about a drum solo, where there's obviously little to no pitch at all? is that not musical, since it doesn't have enough pitch? even some of the music used in ffr has very little pitch. venetian snares, hello? fuckin atomhead? what do you even mean by pitch? melody? melody can be found in spades in rap, especially in recent years since a lot of modern rappers also sing on their tracks. harmony? harmony can be easily found in the synthesizers or samples used in beats. and if we're talking about "technical definitions," there are loooooads of styles of music sitting near the thresholds of music that you have to write off. musique concrete? electroacoustic improv? drone? and getting out of the realm of electronic music, how about free jazz? grindcore? all of these push the envelope of what it means to be music way further than your average rapper could ever dream about. in short, you know very little, if anything, about what makes music music, and are using that to justify writing off one of the most culturally relevant styles of music of the past 40 years.

Re: Rap is technically music
you won't get a response from me btw since once I log out of this account I won't be able to ever log back in but if you're going to read all that, watch the video, and still not change your mind then you're a lost cause any way

Re: Rap is technically music
I thought the only real music was Mongolian throat singing.

Re: Rap is technically music
in uni I took a computer graphics class and my final project was a music visualizer so I used tibetan throat singing as the sample audio because I was friends with the marker (tfw computer science literally 5 people by 3rd year), and he was into it

Re: Rap is technically music
I'm sorry choobler i love u sir but I refuse to watch a video that mentions ben shapiro, the idea of someone having to refute his opinion is just too much for me, like it should just be assumed that ben shapiro is a fucking moron, it shouldnt be something that needs arguing to show
