Is he right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1R aBdSCjAY

he's wrong that you can't get 'better and better and better' at rap i think
i think rap can be musical even if not music itself
the greatest rappers put fine detail and attention into the beats which is music

the genre is music
rapping in itself is not
unless theres a recording of an acapella rap one could make the argument that since its a recording it is music but thats a whole other discussion

Nah, but I don't blame him on his view. Even he said he doesn't know if you can get better at rap and he died before he could hear it getting better and better.

>>72673342
i mean, he's right
poetry isn't music

>>72673342
he makes a lot of good points but music is art and art is subjective. If Duchamp can call a sideways urinal a sculpture then why couldn't a rapper call rap a type of music

He's wrong ... The infinite numbers of possibilities remark is especially pretentious. Of course rap music has infinite possibilities but you have to understand this would have been an acceptable viewpoint in whatever era this was filmed rap music wasn't really what we know it for what it is today

Rap was real corny back then like " my name is smoochie and I'm here to say rap is rappin and a rappa Lappa Ray " so he's not racist

the urinal isn't the art it's the reaction people had to it that was
