It's music. Most of it just isn't good.

It's music without soul. So no, it's not music because it's absent of the very thing that makes music great.

It's absolutely music.
Why wouldn't it be?

It is music, but the people performing/created the sound to the computer generated beats are not musicians or true music artist.

I see this thread went exactly how I'd assume it would on this board 
answer: yes, it's music. And holy shite yes it does contain 'soul' (idk what that posters definition of soul is, but his description is hysterical)
just because it's not appealing to you, doesn't mean it's not music. I don't like the sound of heavy metal (
but it is in fact music

Sure it is.

Some of it is music. It's the part that they "sample"(ripoff) from actual talented artists and musicians. Not surprisingly, many times it's the hook or chorus that people sing along to.
I love the Doggystyle record, but it's because it's basically a 70s funk record. "Sampled" funk songs are the entire album. Same for The Chronic

Yes. The definition of music and art in general is quite broad. Think about this quote by Frank Zappa in reference to this subject.
Pretty much anything is art simply by being presented as such. Music is auditory art(eta:that isn't simply unadorned spoken word). Whether it is good or bad is a separate matter.
quote:
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively-- because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a 'box' around it because otherwise, what is that shite on the wall?

It's music, those who don't like it will often times find a way to discredit it. I'm not a fan, but it speaks to some people.
As long as it speaks to someone and causes or prevokes emotion or thought, it is alive.
That's what art is. A big question mark, and people's reactions are the answer.

yes, it has melody and soul whether you like it or not.

depends on your opinion.
This thread is awful.
Posted on 1/26/15 at 6:21 pm to Kashmir
Nope

Glad to see new thought on this board....

Sure rap is music. It's missing a lot of elements that most other forms of music possess, but it is certainly music.

Rap is not music.
It's all beats that are made from some computer software with people with no grasp of the English language rapping over them.
I'm sorry but any song that uses ni**** isn't music, why listen to something that uses that word amongst "bitch" and "hoe" and talks abt making girls swallow and shite like that? That's just noise and stupid shite for the masses who don't have the intellect to appreciate what real music is.
Rap and hip hop is not music, it's noise.
No feeling, no skill, no real talent translatable to a stage. Most can't play instruments, it's all trash
