I don't understand rap and hiphop music?

Rap and hip-hop is such a massive genre, there's probably something you might like. I listen to Ghostemane, Wicca Phase, Cold Hart, Horse Head, Døves, Lil Peep, JPDreamthug, Rozz Dyliams, Lil Lotus, Lil Aaron, Smrtdeath, etc. They vary from trap metal to more melodic to acoustic.

I also find it all to be pretty awful. It’s not real music. When I’m drunk though I don’t seem to mind in the club, I just make up my own lyrics 😂.

What do you mean it’s not real music?

Are you from the UK?

Rap only fulfils the rhythm section of music. There’s not a lot of melody and there’s not a lot of harmony. And thus, effectively, it is basically spoken rhythm. It’s not actually a form of music. It’s a form of rhythmic speaking. Thus, beyond the objectivity of me just not enjoying rap all that much, what I’ve said before is that rap is not music.

Yes I am

hi ben shapiro

rap is music lol. singing, rapping and grunting all are just a different way of a specific instrument: the human voice. Are the sounds organized in a certain way? yes, so it's music.

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know this person who can’t say it with their chest is called Mozart or Beethoven.

Music is extremely subjective. Almost anything can be considered music as long as there is an audience who identifies it as music.

Glad you caught on, well done
I disagree, rapping and grunting are not music. You’re entitled to your opinion and so am I.


I’m confused what point you’re trying to make. Are you saying that under my definition Mozart and Beethoven didn’t write music? If so that would be incorrect as their pieces consist of rhythm, melody and harmony.



I disagree. I don’t know anyone who thinks the sound of smashing plates is music but if I decide to say I think it is it suddenly becomes music? Hmm, no I don’t believe in this whole identification thing. Again you’re entitled to your opinion, as am I.
