J, I understand your point, and there will always be someone who thinks that theirs is better than theirs, and will try to discount what they don't agree with. I grew up with classic rock, and also listen to jazz some clasical and vocalist music. I know some people dont like jazz they think its all "over the place" and dont get it, and some won't even give classical a chance. So they can say what they want about it, but they really can't say it takes no musical talent, because they are musians...some better than others. What bothers (troubles) me with rap is that all I basically see is a person cluching a microphone bobing around with maybe 2 or more other guys just interjecting a yo or yea in between beats, and making the same gestures that EVERYBODY seems to do. What is that A natural phenominum or something that everybody must do? (I know "everybody" doesn't, but enough do) I mean come on already. I think the reason it has it 's staying power is that it has so much DISLIKE power. Young teenage rebelious people need to have music that angers/disgusts the older generation. I think if it was engaging, and excepted by the older generation in masses, it would be disgarded quickly, (my opinion):) And something else would have to be picked up that was edgy and frowned upon by the older generation. Also I think "music" (instruments played by musicians) is held by people in a higher regard because the aveage person can't do it, where as the average person only sees a person with bad grammar talking into a microphone, spiiting out words fast enough to fit into the beats. (I know that takes some talent, how much is up for debate). Also on the musical food chain so to speak you have people who can play their instuments extreemly well, (music that can be enjoyable by the masses, or too cerebral for some others but still respected) then you have mediocre musicians who play adiquate, but have outstanding songs, then you have rappers who the majority dont play instuments (if they did it wouldn't much matter because the phrasings are simplistic enough that you might just as well use electronica) So they are percieved to be on the bottom of the music chain by myself and a great many others.
Like I said in another thred you can make fart noises to a beat, and make a song. Does it take talent? (perhaps) is it music? It might be to some, but it is way down on the music food chain.
My 2 cents.
