      *cough*.

      "rap" and "music" should never be used in the same sentence. Ever.

        Totally agree! I'm not so sure Alby would though unless he's changed.

          Based on his comments in the music thread, I'd wager "not".

            Are you serious?

            Rap is just an artistic medium. You all do know that one can rap about anything and rappers do. Just so you are aware, not every rapper is of the NWA/2pac/Biggie/DMX mold of gangster rap. In fact, that sort of rap hasn't been anywhere near as popular as it used to be and it didn't even exist until the late 1980's when hip hop music was already over a decade old (even older if you consider Gil Scott-Heron and the Last Poets as rappers).

            The best selling rap album of all time is apparently Outkast's Love Below/Speakerbox... you know, the album with "Hey Ya!" as its lead single.

            Rap music has changed... Kanye West came out... Jay-Z is 40 now and is making music that represents that fact... etc.

            I can not see how you can justify saying that when popular artists are making songs like this (Kanye West, Andre3000, Fonzworth Bentley- Everybody):

                Or how about this:

                  Tia:

                  In all seriousness, you're smarter and more open minded than that. You know full well gangster rap is just a portion of the vast array of rap music and shouldn't be viewed as limited to that anymore than rock music should be viewed as limited to heavy metal goth music.

                    Speakerboxx was so popular because it WASN'T rap.

                    "Hey Ya" particularly is a pop song with a rap interlude. It's no more a rap song than "Semi-Charmed Life"
