Yeah, I'm down with Immmortal and Public Enemy, and RUN DMC because :

It's tricky to rock a rhyme
to rock a rhyme that's right on time
it's tricky!
It's tricky! Tricky! Tricky! Tricky!

Hey: You down with OPP?!?!?!

The argument is decades old, and trying to convince someone who can't even understand what the terms mean is futile. So, I'll not even bother.

Calling the color orange blue, does not, in fact turn it blue.

Yeah, he just spat hot fire !

Very informative, and thank you.

Back to the orginal purpose of the thread people.

Thread over, black people like horror movies but hide it because they're fly. Didn't we already figure that out?

That's a very lazy definition by someone who had no musical knowledge. Obviously there's lots of music that's neither sweet nor pleasing.

Yeah, the dictionary got it all wrong, why don't you write them and correct them. I don't have Webster or Merriam's address so you'll have to figure that out for yourself. Actually, the Merriam/Webster dictionary varies just slightly...

mu·sic
Pronunciation: \ˈmyü-zik\
Function: noun
Usage: often attributive
Etymology: Middle English musik, from Anglo-French musike, from Latin musica, from Greek mousikē any art presided over by the Muses, especially music, from feminine of mousikos of the Muses, from Mousa Muse
Date: 13th century

the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity

vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony2

an agreeable sound : euphony <her voice was music to my ears>

musical quality <the music of verse>

a musical accompaniment <a play set to music>

the score of a musical composition set down on paper

a distinctive type or category of music <there is a music for everybody — Eric Salzman>

That is obviously an alternate use of the word music and has no bearing on the argument at hand.

Whatever, it's your OPINION that rap is not music, not a fact. You can't get pissed that people disagree with you even if they are lazy and know nothing about "music".
