To be music, something needs melody and harmony. Rap has neither. Just a beat or rhythm don't make music, otherwise a jackhammer would be a great musical instrument.

I'm glad that rap is fading in popularity, though that being said, the anodyne youth market pop that's clogging up the airwaves now is only marginally better.

Joe Walsh’s brother-in-law was a drummer for a small quartet from the UK.

IIRC, his band mates called him Ringo...

Rap was a very ugly and angry genre of music.

For over 50 years, I have listened to virtually all other genres of music and find plenty to like in all.

But rap just makes me want to break into a Best Buy and drag out a big-screen TV.

Yes, we sing that around the city Christmas tree every year now. So uplifting.

Agreed. Sounds to me like just a bunch of infected adenoids.
