Would you consider, say, percussive drumming type music as "music"? I would.

And I wouldn't. No melody equals no music. Beat is a part of music but in and of it's self is not music.

There is good and bad in everything.

Once again. Not arguing. But it is not music. And I have heard some very good stuff.

But like I said, you can not hum it. There may be a few places in a rap where the rhythmic chant becomes song but this does not compose a majority of the chant. So it should not be classified as a song. It is a rap.

That's a fair argument. I guess I still enjoy some rap, regardless of we may or may not classify it as.

I also like that new U2 song alot. I never payed them much attention growing up, but those guys rock.
