Re: Yes, but

>It requires zero talent. Find me someone who CAN'T do it.

You don't know what you're talking about. PLENTY of people can't do it. Rapping is syncopated. NOT everyone can do it.

Now you say that 'not everyone can do it.' It is something that requires talent.

>comparing learning this to learning the violin or the saxophone or any musical instrument is a joke.

Perhaps, but I never compared rapping to learning a musical instrument, now, did I? Remember what you said?

>>I despise rap because it requires no talent to perform

That's what I responded to. From that you infer that I'm making a comparison to a musical instrument? I did no such thing. Oh, and by the way, you're forgetting that these allegedly talentless people manage to write their lyrics. Some are better than others, but some are quite literate. Of course, that requires no talent.

Why don't you take a look at all of the rap/jazz collaborations that Blue Note has been putting out for the past few years & tell all the old jazz guys who are working with rappers are wasting their time collaborating with people who have no talent? I'm sure the likes of Donald Byrd, Ramsey Lewis, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, & Ron Carter are real interested in yr assessment. You obviously know more about it than they do.
