I realize that my post will probably piss off a lot of people. It's my OPINION, which is why i appologized for my rant. I dont mind rap music, I just don't understand how people like ludacris, eminem, and 50 cent can be compared to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Beatles in terms of musical ability. They dont even use instruments.

Dictionary.com's definition of music:
mu·sic Pronunciation Key (myzk)
n.

1. The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
2. Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm.

According to 1. rap is musical for about 20 sec max until it repeats itself time after time. Have you ever listened to an instrumental rap song? The correct answer should be not for more than 30 seconds. According to 2. vocals are taken into account. Where is the singing in rap or instrumentals in rap, usually there arent any unless it features a cameo from an R&B artist or its something like Puff Daddy and Jimmy Paige murder Kashmir.

"I have to disagree, i dont find rap/hip-hop to be musically great in any sense. The beats are usually repetitive and next to no "artists" come up with there own"

if youturn on a hip/hop station nowadyas you will hear tons of crap, much like if you turn on any radio station. If you go back to early rap there is a lot of it about growing up poor in ghettos- about discrimination, and how there doesn't seem to be any way out of the life. I am not a bigrap fan myself, but it down't take much looking at stuff from the early 90's to really find some quality.

I'm a hip-hop fan, so from that perspective, it's easily the 90s.

So wait, you're saying rock doesn't repeat itself?

[Fratony]

Great rock songs don't (crica 1965-1975). There may be some repetition, but the beginning middle and end are usually different in some way. Maybe a guitar or sax solo. Listen to Floyd or zeppelin and you'll know what i mean.

I'm with you with late 50's early 60's. And I was born in '77.

I got it, so the only songs that are great are ones with no repetition.

[Fratony]

Actually, I'm saying that crappy songs are boring and repetative (see Milkshake by Kelis if you are still confused).
