I said hip-hop can be upbeat and entertaining I didn't say that was the definition.

Okay, let me rephrase this in an attempt to eliminate confusion.I guess maybe I don't know what you mean by a synthesizer? There's a pretty prevalent piano on that beat?
So, it wasn't a musician that played the piano, drum machine, etc for that beat?Okay, let me rephrase this in an attempt to eliminate confusion.
If there are no musicians then it is not music.
Singers, or in the case of rap, talkers, are not musicians unless they are playing a musical instrument.
Kids!
I honestly don't know because I am not familiar with the artist. But the real simple answer is that if I play a recording of a drummer, guitarist, or keyboard player, that doesn't make me a musician.So, it wasn't a musician that played the piano, drum machine, etc for that beat?

Are you just trying to be obstinate or were you dropped on your head as a child?![]()

Yes! You are! One example doesn't make a rule.All I can think of, are all the people taking about Dre pretending to play the piano during the super bowl halftime show because they've convinced themselves he's not a musician. Make the facts fit your narrative, not vice versa!![]()
I mean, that just simply isn't accurate, but ok...The vast majority of rap is simply words spoken to the beat of a synthesizer, there is no musical talent in that art.
Did you ever think that maybe "you" listen to a small segment of rap that doesn't represent the overall art of rap?I mean, that just simply isn't accurate, but ok...
I could totally see this blasting over Santa Monica pier speakersI have played this on repeat since you shared it. One of the purposes of this thread was so I could find new tunes to smoke with. Thanks a million.
I'll have better luck talking to a wall...Did you ever think that maybe "you" listen to a small segment of rap that doesn't represent the overall art of rap?
There is some rock that crosses over into heavy metal. I love rock, I don't like much heavy metal. By your logic I am don't like rock. just because a little bit of it crosses over.
You can argue all you want ...... if there aren't musicians, it isn't music. But you can like anything you want, hell, you might like Gurkha's.![]()
Yeah, I think you and the wall are a little better matched in this one.I'll have better luck talking to a wall...
An I remembering accurately that you were an attorney at some point in your life?Yeah, I think you and the wall are a little better matched in this one.![]()
No, but I have always done first line litigation for my clients to get them out of bad contracts with carriers.An I remembering accurately that you were an attorney at some point in your life?
Maybe that was it. Anyways, good debate. Sorry you're content with being wrong.No, but I have always done first line litigation for my clients to get them out of bad contracts with carriers.
AT&T contracts are usually 30 pages that can be summarized by "you will pay us no matter what" and "we are not liable for anything". The trick is finding the errant language ...... like your fucked up perception of rap, it's in there somewhere.Maybe that was it. Anyways, good debate. Sorry you're content with being wrong.![]()
LOL ... great timingToday's conversation made me think of this song.
