Hey Jocelyn,
It might be music, but is it science or is it art, dat is da question! Even
the dictionary don't seem to know :-)
Seriously all, rap is music, any suggestion to the contrary is clearly
preposterous!
B^)
~~interesting. are the african tribal drum beats
music? are old slave chain gang recordings of just
chain and axe on rock/wood music with low guttural
groans/moans music? are the child street drummers
here in chicago who play with drumsticks on 5 gallon
buckets (3-5 of them at a time -- totally mesmerizing,
entirely rhythmic, incredibly engaging) music?
as usual, when in doubt, i go to my old friend,
www.m-w.com:
music: n. 1 a : 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 b : vocal, instrumental, or
mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony
