2nd comment is a follow-up question. If it's just poetry with beats in the background, what is any song really? Is it not too poetry--whether it's rhytmic with meter or is a free verse, does it not to have a beat in the background--now that beat many be a complete symphony of instruments or compiled studio and audio beats. But is it not to the same just a different form? I am still perplexed at the moment.

Strictly speaking, from a musicalogical point of view, rap does not contain all the elements needed to comprise what is music. Music must have, in addition to rhythm, melody, harmony and color.

Rap has at most, two of these elements, but not all.
