>>128193652>Sorry, my IQ isn't low enough to appreciate apes chanting about drugs and crime over a 4/4 beat.Well, it surely is low enough to associate rap with apes chanting about drugs and crime.I associate hip hop with the highest form of lyricism from the likes of Aesop Rock, Sole, God Complex, Sage Francis, Glue

>>128196298>highest form of lyricismKek, we get it you are sub 90 iq

>>128194268Extremely based and powerful post.
>>128193667correct but rap is also pseudomusic. it's so not music that even the word muzak is too good for rap.
>>128193238Joji outed himself
>>128196324You can’t use IQ as an argument it’s fake and gay. You may as well argue that he’s the wrong astrologic sign or some shit, stop it
>>128193252No one is saying that it isn't art or that it doesn't have any value, you're putting words that people didn't say.
>>128194268The bird was awesome, man. Those were real musicians changing everything for better.
>>128192268I have unironically tried to get into hip hop several times over the years there are a handful of individual tracks that are actually quite good, there's a hip hop all time hits compilation of 2cds that is excellentmost of it is just rubbish the gangster stuff where they larp about being big time drug dealers is cringethe fact it is so popular tells me all i need to know about normal people
>>128192268according to my music theorist dad

>>128193248If it has an original harmonic arrangement (can use normal chord progressions but cant just be samples) and sung vocals (not chanting flat notes) then sure, but at that point you are getting into more RB territory.The act of "raping" isn't musical. It just isn't. Its rhythmic "poetry" but even calling it poetry is a stretch, but I'll let you have that.Let's take the first song off of Kendrick Lamar's semenal work, To Pimp a Monkey.Is Thundercat's groovy bass line music? Hell fucking yeah.Are Kendrick's 60 iq monkey chants music? No. He is soiling the song with his retardation. The instrumental is music, the rap is not.
