I don't think rappers are in any way, shape or form musicians.
I'll say this as respectfully as I can: You are wrong.
I may not be a huge rap fan, but rap unquestionably is music.
Things we cannot be bothered by anymore
Occurred to me today that I have dropped stuff that I cannot just be bothered by anymore, and wondering what some of you out there have let go of as well
Me (lean mostly into analog)
- Lifting a tonearm lever to cue a platter - no more - years off my life
- Carbon brushes, cart cleans with every spin or two - years off my life
- Ugly racks that look like ones I had in 10th grade, though cost 20x more - out
- Listening at low volume levels to gauge audiophile purity
- A/B'ing streaming platforms
Finale - $50 audiophile pressings "remastered from the original master tapes" that sound like sanitized cheese spread - magic gone, warped, drop-outed, bubbled, and gain-whacked (there are exceptions for sure)
How about you?

@thecarpathian - Yes, my comments about "long hair, all sounds the same, can't even play their instruments," etc reflect what I heard as a kid in the early 70's and well beyond, from parents and other "old folks & friends" protesting that which they didn't like and/or understand. I am sure my folks heard the same from others when they were young, and so on. It's the same vibe as many comments about the SB HT performance..... |
Rap. IMHO it is music… just not mine. The Super Bowl music should appeal to the masses, not something so controversial as Rap. I do enjoy Rap’s beat. Something like Raye. A beautiful voice both singing and talking, with a Rap like beat. My daughter tells me I ought to consider Rap to be poetry without the bongo drums…🤔 |
