Rap is technically music
sunfan told me to make this thread
while it fits the technical definition of music I don't really consider it music there's probably not enough pitch for me to call it music I'll readily admit that I haven't heard a lot of rap (because it's not really the kind of music I listen to) so I could just be listening to bad rap sunfan seemed to think I would be crucified for posting this here, interested in yalls takes

Re: Rap is technically music
One way I think you might be able to reframe how you see rap is to looking at the musical backing behind the actual rapping, especially songs that use samples
Here is a song that samples one of my favourite bands, Beach House Here's the original song See how Kendrick and his producers manipulated the original song to create something of their own that sounds completely different? While still paying homage to the original and doing it justice. Not to even mention Kendrick's lyrics, this is a really old track of his but the lyrics to this song kinda changed how I saw relationships back in the day (it's about a guy cheating on his gf just because, through no fault of hers) |

Re: Rap is technically music
Yeah, rap is not technically music. Rap is music by basically any reasonable standards that actual musicians would apply.
People who think rap isn't music are just being arbitrarily normative and probably prejudiced. Quote:

Re: Rap is technically music
Rap is not music, its poetry.
"While in rap “songs” the focus is almost solely on the lyrics, and the instrumental part(usually referred to as “beat”) is of little importance. That's why rap isn't really music. Rap is poetry, often paired with a bit of music in the background. “Rap RARELY has any singing"

Re: Rap is technically music
So any band whose lyrics are poetic aren't doing music because the lyrics are poetry?
How about a song that is literally an existing poem set to music: How about a song that has very poetic lyrics, and the singer is also a poet? How about a song that is basically about nonsense, is extremely monotonous but isn't rap |
