Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"

Vive la difference

And I am not beholden to the "Gospel according to Jerry' but I respected him and was curious enough to listen to what he said.

Another musician I respected said kiddingly (kind of) all the rest of that other music is a bunch of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"

Any guesses as to who that was? lol

I would never choose to listen to Rap when I have something I enjoy listening to nearby.  I think that is fair and don't need to comment further.  I envision my parent's listening to my music and cringing.  

simao - I cannot say I strongly disagree with what you posted and you stated you are a Deadhead (as am I)

I heard Garcia interviewed and he flatly said Rap is not music - it has a meter - but it is not music.  I thought you would find that interesting.
