>lets face it rap has very little artistic meritTo who, Mike? You? What about the people for whom it has a great deal of artistic merit? Are they WRONG simply because they like it & you don't? Boy, I wish people could be judged right or wrong based on their tastes. It would make life less complicated.
Now, take a look at D's post:
>I despise rap because it requires no talent to perform
Compare it to a couple of yrs:
>Does it take tallent? I guess to a certain degree
>does that make it good music? No, I dont think so
>I'm wouldn't put much in the tallent dept either.You see the difference here? I certainly don't expect everyone to like rap music, especially around here. As I said elsewhere, I haven't listened to it much myself in the past 10+ years. But I don't need D to tell me what is or isn't. You expressed an opinion. He imposed his on the board as though it were fact. You see the difference?
Like whatever you want. Don't tell me that this or that style of music requires no talent. It's been said about EVERY style of music except for perhaps classical music. There isn't a pop or jazz or world or folk or blues record in your collection, mine, or D's about which that sort of thing hasn't been said. There are still people who think jazz is absolutely worthless. That's fine, so long as they don't impose that on me. I make the same argument here as I did recently with a guy who exclaimed that JOHN COLTRANE 'sucks.' Just because he couldn't hear Coltrane's talent doesn't mean it didn't exist. Rap operates in a different medium. You don't like it, fine. That doesn't have to count for those who disagree.
