      1st, look up the word music in Dictionary.com. 2nd, some rap artists actually care about making a good change in the world economically, environmentally, and/or politically through their songs. 3rd, rap music can be a healthy challenge for some people. By the way, Eminem's daughter, Hailie, had a 3.9 GPA when she graduated in high school and is now focusing on a highly intellectual path professionally. This is probably because Eminem supported her financially from his constant working in order to keep his family protected so they stopped suffering as much. Eminem is not completely selfish, stupid, and toxic. He lived in a bad environment when he grew up. Being able to become a music man helped change his life around into a healthier one. He cleaned himself from drugs, bad relationships, alcohol binging, etc. You can say rap is not music all you want. But, maybe you will listen to "Not Afraid" by this rapper and understand that he is a bit like everyone. Especially YOU.

        I like a lot of rap, but I agree that it is not really music. As a passionate writer myself, it seems more like spoken word to me, poetry.

          exactly i mean it's really music bc it doesn't have singing and it has rapping. and bc it has nothing really original as far as music. no guitar, drumming, keyboarding, it's all sampling and using other people's choruses and melodies.
          one of the worst parts of rap music is the rappers using, copying other songs' melodies, ex. islands in the stream chorus from kenny rogers and dolly parton they ripped off in the song ghetto superstar. also, the chorus forget me nots was ripped off by will smith as we are the men in black. this shouldn't be allowed. it's called copyright infringement.

            also, proof that rap music is not music is in the fact that we've never seen a 60 year old rapper. bc by 60 all the rappers of the past have grown up. they know it's childish music mostly.

              yeah i mean can you prove it's music? it's musical but i can't prove it's music bc it doesn't have that much creativity or musicality in it. and you need these thing to make it music.
              and this is exactly why people have always disrespected it and said it's not good and it's just a fad that will go away. people have always downplayed that it is important and people have always not respected it as adults.
              i mean all the people defending rap as music should ask themselves if it really is important and music then why do people 50 and older never listen to it anymore or never have listened to it? that proves it is childish and something everyone grows out of as they get older.

                  Cool. It would be great if you developed your own thoughts instead of parroting somebody else's, but perhaps that would stretch the limits of your intelligence

                            Did you know rapping originated from “toasting” in Jamaican reggae?
                            A good example of a pop song with toasting would be red red wine by UB40.
                            I personally find toasting to be more melodic, but that’s just because I’m not a huge fan of the disco/r&b backing of most hip hop/rap.
                            I think rap/hip hops heyday was in the 80s and 90s with groups like Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul, Geto Boyz, Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan, and OutKast. Before Kanye and Drake came along and ruined the genre.
