lmao @CAV and zuii. you guys would have been there in the mid-70s sayin punk isnt music. and in the 50s sayin rock'n'roll isnt music. and in the 30s sayin jazz isnt music. and the C19th sayin ragtime isnt music. and in the C16th sayin baroque isnt music...
it's a good point, but as other have stated i was saying musical content
I would like to see jay z or lil wayne tell me about the pentatonic scale or the hexatonic scale....oh wait they can't because they have no knowledge of music or the structure of music
can they tell me about chord progessions....no because they don't know any of that either, the worst thing they do know is take a perfectly good rock and roll song and put their crappy words in it and call it their own.
Who do you think had the most nominations this year for the Grammy Awards. Drum roll please...........Lil Wayne (A Rapper) led the way with 8 nominations. Grammy awards are voted on by industry experts. They obviously think rap is music. Just because you don't like it or what you perceive as its message doesn't make it a less valid form of art or music.
All you people that think that it's as easy as tying a shoe are completely wrong. Grab your game mics and record your freestyle; then post it on here for all to hear. I can almost guarantee that you will sound ridiculous.
as for the grammys, they don't mean much to me, the only thing anyone hears about is the best pop and rap albums, which is a shame, but it's like i said, people these days are just kind of dumb and prefer catchy music with no substance over good music that will stand the test of time. (no offense twentyfo if you like rap)
We do live in a free country so everyone should listen to what they like, its just my opinion that rap stinks and is the lowest form of muisc, if it can be called music.
It's like i said before, it will not last and think about this (again) what are you going to sing and teach your kids when they're young?
