spiderhacker, i think you adequately expressed ur opinion two pages ago, so i'm not sure why you feel a need to repeate yourself rather than add something new and/or insightful to the discussion
and i'll admit that a couple of the songs my sister classifies as rap aren't bad, but they dont sound like rap to me. i think of rap as background music (with a strong beat) and someone talking rapidly (usually unintelligably) over it. w/ hip hop the "singer" usually is singing rather than talking/screaming and can sometimes even carry a tune

i always distinguished rap as less insturmental, just some vague beat or something and a guy mumbling rapidly, whilehip hop is the same stuff, except with weirder rythm, more instrumental, and the guy repeating crude lyrics to the odd, disjointed rythm. osme ends up good, some bad.. heres what the encyclopedia says...
rap music: or hip-hop, genre originating in the mid-1970s among black and Hispanic performers in New York City, at first associated with an athletic style of dancing, known as breakdancing. The word rap, derived from a 1960s slang word for conversation, generally consists of chanted, often improvised, street poetry accompanied by a montage of well-known recordings, usually disco or funk. Detractors have criticized most rap music as a boastful promotion of violence and misogyny; others have admired it as an inventive manipulation of cultural idioms and credit many rappers with an acute social and political awareness. Early rap groups included Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, and the Beastie Boys. Rap has influenced many forms of popular culture, particularly film, and has been increasingly incorporated into pop music. Some influential rap performers include Public Enemy, NWA, Run-DMC, Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot, and Queen Latifah. Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, Copyright (c) 2005.

SO what does everyone think of Eminem? He is considered a rap singer but he has instrumental and can carry a tune.

However I never said that I did not like classical music...I just said that some of the songs sounded bad. I feel like a lot of people on this forum have the attitude of something on par to this: taking a vacation into Arizona...meeting a few losers...then leaving because they believe that most everyone else there must be losers...

Personally I don't base my opinion of rap on a few songs, I simply dislike said genra of music in general.
