WTF happened to rap?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

There is no musical talent. Sorry, but it is true. You can call it talent to talk fast or whatever but strictly musically there is nothing.

So there is no talent in the rhythmic use of vocals? And it may come as a surprise to you, but very few simply just "talk fast". There is also pitch and cadence manipulation.

You either know very little about music, have only heard a select few rap songs, or are incredibly racist.

To me rap is not music. Sorry.

Yes, and this is where your opinion goes into just being a blatant falsehood.

You have no credibility in any music discussion about any genre because of this.

Voice, not vocals. None of them are singing.

Tell that to Jerry Garcia.

"It's just rhythm, it's not music" is possibly the whitest phrase every said about music.

None of them are signing?

Bone Thugs n Harmony dont exist? Drake doesnt exist?

Tell that to Jerry Garcia.

Thankfully he's dead so his ****** bands dont make music anymore.

Keith Richards ( Rollings Stones ) said it very well : “Rap is for tone deaf people.” He added: “What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there. All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another."

Did you know that some rap creates their own music? Like plays the instruments and such? Of course you didn't.

Check out gym class heroes. That are one of my favorites. They play guitar and drum and that stuff that you love.

Just curious. Do you think that techno has musical talent. Or DJ's?

I know I always go to 71 year old heroin junkies for modern musical opinions. I'm sure Richards has heard 5 rap songs his entire life, probably while flipping through radio stations.
