This is from my first post:

...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. Rapping is a game of who can come up with the most creative "rhyme" and put it to a redundant beat.

And this is what i am assuming you are refering to:

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

I dont understand how you could think that these two statements dont agree.

You haven't heard the right hip-hop. The hip-hop artists you mention are all quite well-known and so even people who don't listen to hip-hop have heard them. I've heard matchbox 20, am I to deduce that rock is musically inferior?

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.

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

Great rock songs don't

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

I have actually listened to a lot of rap. Back around '97 i was really into it, and listened to the old and the new stuff. Then i realized that it wasnt very good music and now i basically only listen to it when i'm at parties and girls are dancing and being wild. I realize that the rappers i listed arent the BEST, but to me any rappers could be swapped with the ones i put down. Biggie, tupac, snoop and dre. Is that better?

The intersection of rapper and musician is slim, but it's there, and when a rapper takes his music seriously, it can hold a lot of musical value.

How does that not make sense? Crappy songs are repetative and great songs are not.

So you're saying that great songs can't use repetition?

Stop dwelling on this repetition factor. A song is better musically if it minimizes the same exact instrumentals over and over again. Think classical music, its never the same from beginning to end, which is why it has been around for 100's of years. I'm not talking about repetition in words i am talking about repetition in instrumentals, maybe this wasnt clear.
