Oh! screamed the sandaled one, I just can't resist! ....-
Rap to me sounds pretty much the same (I know there are some differences ect). I mean look at the patented posing and hand jestures.....Many would and have said the same of rock...classical...new age...folk...blues...jazz...reggae.
At the end of the day if you are not switched on to something then it is not going to open up for you. The key is listening without reservation or preconception. Music is just music in all its forms, no matter the style of expression it is still all expression and some find it easier to access one style of expression over another, that goes without saying.. but the ability or inability to access something is the responsibility of the listener not the responsability of the medium nor is it any indication of how good that medium is.
The jestures exist in some areas of rap, without a doubt but they are not universal. There are many rappers out there that promote and express themselves in a totally different way.
There was variety in the genre of rock, If there wasn't it would be disgusting.
No more or less than in any other area of music .. If we talk about rap as including or being included in hip hop or as an off shoot or umbrella then your statement is even more redundant since now the amount of variation is astounding. and what about the cross overs from rap to rock and so forth and all the associated fusions?
Music is music, if its good it will last forever. Good songs that are good now will be apprciated long after the genre is past its glory.
You are contradicting yourself .. if Music is music then the genre isn't important is it. Or in other words your subjective classification of what constitutes rap is limiting your overall experience because it is not inline with the setiment music is just music.
Live rap is terrible.
Compared to what exactly? classical, rock, jazz?
Some musicians can pull it off in the studio and not live others vice versa and then still fewer both. You may have heard some bad live performances but that can be applied to every genre of music there is. it is nothing to do with the genre at all.. I come back to my earlier statement that the mode of expression is irrelevant, you cannot judge talent or the lack of it based on the genre that music is associated with. I know just as many rock, jazz, blues bands that don't quite get it right live and just as many rap bands/acts that are truly awesome live.
At the end of the day its a mute point. We may as well argue about how blue the sky is because the significance is comparable.
Mischief all comes from much opening of the mouth.
