Is rap music?

Bob Dylan doesn’t sing half the time and it’s still music. If it was just rapping - the speaking voice alone then it’d be more poetry. (because technically a “beat” is from some percussion “”instrument”” thus making it “musical”)

you can’t be so closed minded about music.. creating good beats on a computer is just as complicated as composing something on a guitar.

I personally don’t like rap, but I would never consider it not music. it’s true, a lot of the mainstream rap is pretty bad, but guess what, so is almost all of the mainstream rock. try opening your eyes and ears to some old school rap and hip hop, or classic funk and soul music and maybe you’ll think differently.. but, maybe you won’t it’s your opinion.

the actual beat is music. the people talking really fast is just people talking really fast to music.

a computer is a instrument

sikashimer- they beats they make are made by computers not insruments

I suppose I would consider it more of a form of poetry

I think it is not a genre!RAP SUX!
