A better question would be "Is yoko ono music?"

There's a sliver of hiphop that I like a lot, for example
Digable Planets
Gorillaz
N.E.R.D. era Pharrell Williams
As the great bank robber James Brown once said, "You don't know music, you don't know how to use it. All you know is a boom boom, boom boom boom boom".

It's pretty light on the melody and harmony though. I agree it's music but I struggle with why one would marginalize 40% of what constitutes music in favor of the rest. I prefer music that has all elements in roughly equal parts.
Also, I don't really "get" rap, probably because I'm not exactly the target demographic that rap artists are aiming for.
I think if I understood the artistic thought that goes into it, it would be a lot more meaningful to me.
