"Rap Rock" is a genre, of which they were a prime performer, so yes it's rap.

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

Jazz Rap. It's majority Japanese, and the instrumentals are a banger.

Re: Rap is technically music

I think a lot of the argument trying to be made has to do with what people would define something as an 'art-form' over 'music'.

Myself? I don't really consider white noise, or noise music, as music. More-so experimental, or prose. But, it's music. Some venetian snare drumcore can get pretty dull in terms of pitch over 6 minutes, but it's music. Extratone can have little to no rhythm other than 1200bpm bleep bloops, and could in some cases be considered harsh noise, but it's still a genre of music.
