Sounds like what my father's music teachers said to him about Art Tatum.
>I was not referring to the “lyrics,†but to the almost non-existent musical content.
Which means you still haven't listened to P.M. Dawn, or Wyclef Jean. Why criticize stuff you don't know anything about? It only makes you sound foolish.
>I was referring to artistic plagiarizing, which is not unique to rap, but rather than being influenced by another musician, or even copping a few licks, rappers descend so low as to use the actual recordings of musicians as their “instrument.†I could take an artist’s paintings, cut them up, and glue the pieces together, but the result isn’t an original work of art; it’s a hack-job by a non-artist.
Uh-huh. Yeah, you're right, it's an artistically worthless genre. I wonder why Miles Davis & Quincy Jones ever bothered making rap records. Hey, tell you what--why don't you go & take a look at the list of names that appeared on Jones' 'Back On The Block,' then come back & tell me that yr opinion is the correct one, and that they're obviously wrong & know nothing about music. I await anxiously.
