He is not a musician, he is a rapper. These are different disciplines.

why do you have to say this?
are you really trying to piss off rap fans on the board? [/b][/quote]
No, just saying what I think. I think it is wrong to classify Rap as music.

why do you have to say that rap isn&#39;t music though?
what exactly about rap as a genre prevents it from being a musical genre to you?

also, i hope your little footnote there was a joke...

[TheDave]

music [mju:zik] n the art of arranging and combining sounds able to be produced by the human voice or by instruments.

i cant find rap but a bon jovi fan shouldnt be allowed oppinions or the basic rights of an ant.

As far as I&#39;m concerned, music has to use melodies, rhythms, harmonies, etc. to supplement or complement the lyrics and emotions in the song.

I&#39;d also expect a musician to do something musical - either to play an instrument or to sing.

Rappers don&#39;t do this, raps usually (although I admit not always) just have a repetitive, bland background beat while some guy warbles into a microphone.



Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I expect musicians to earn that title in the literal sense of the word.

The Titanic by William MacGonnagal -

O beautiful ship Titanic
Of the White Star Line,
Your tragic tale shall be remembered
For a very long time.

Twas in the Month of April,
on the Fourteenth day,
That a disaster happened
Which took more than fifteen hundred lives away.

They were heading t&#39;wards Americ&#39;s shore
In the middle of the night,
When the lookout spied an iceberg,
Which gave him quite a fright.

They turned the wheel hard to Port,
And then again to Starboard,
But they hit the iceberg anyway.
The hull was rent like cardboard.

They tried to make the passengers
Get into the lifeboats,
But they said that it was too cold,
To be outside without their coats.

But Mr J Bruce Ismay of the White Star Line,
Persuaded them, because
He got into a lifeboat,
To show how safe it was.

And Mr Guggenheim was there,
With his valet by his side.
They both wore Evening Dress,
For to drown while badly dressed they could not abide.

They tried to make Mrs Strauss,
Get into a lifeboat,
But she wouldn&#39;t leave her husband.
They will never be forgot.

Joughin, the Ship&#39;s Baker,
Had imbibed the Demon Drink,
He jumped into the water,
He was lucky not to sink.

But they pulled him in a lifeboat,
And he survived the night,
But he signed the Pledge when he got home,
&#39;Cause he got such a fright.

The hero of the hour
Was Second Officer Lightoller
And I think that his example
We should all be sure to follow.

He did his duties bravely,
Though people swore and cursed,
Enforcing the Rule of the Sea,
&#39;Women and Children first&#39;

A wave washed him from off the deck,
Into the icy brine,
But he survived to tell the tale,
And defend the White Star Line.

At last the great Leviathan,
Slipped down below the water.
The Engineers stayed at their posts,
They never once did falter.

And Captain E.J. Smith,
On the bridge until the last,
Might not have hit the iceberg,
If he hadn&#39;t gone too fast.

If Carlsberg made poets, they almost certainly wouldn&#39;t be like him&#33;
