then you will likely believe that dog poop is caviar.
Rap/hiphop is doggerel set to a beat. It is consumed by those whose
musical and cultural IQ is about as high as that of a soil sample.
How many rap tunes have withstood the test of time and are covered
regularly? How many rap "artists" have any musical training or can play
an instrument or can even sing competently?
Granted, some rap/hiphop "tunes" do make interesting cultural statements.
That's not enough to make them music.
Someone please let me know when a rap/hiphop "artist" has the musical
talent of, say, Segovia or Doc Watson or Ray Charles or Art Tatum or
Dolly Parton or Billie Holliday or Bill Monroe or Chet Atkins. I'll
be waiting.
