Article: The Music In Me: Rap of History Backwards The

Love it when people dis rap as not music. Come on, not music. Really? Hip-hop is just a natural extension from jazz, blues, rock, etc. When rappers boast that he is the man, it's just like blues singers or Stevie Winwood boasting "I'm a Man". There is so much cool hip-hop out there in every single language. Just because you don't listen to Kendrick Lamar doesn't mean you don't like the genre. It's like you don't listen to Taylor Swift but still listen to the Beatles - it's pop music. You choose your favs.

Let's not overstep here. Hip-Hop is nothing like Jazz, Blues, or even Rock musically.

That's simply not true, sorry. Since many hip-hop songs sample jazz music.

 

Just one example:

Stetsasonic "Talkin All That Jazz" - Bohemia After Dark - YouTube

That could be the most clueless comment of the year.  Nothing personal against you, just the comment. 

 

Many comments in this thread have my wondering "what?!" 

 

Ice-T said an interesting comment, and I have read similar articles about this topic, about the N word and how the black community wanted to take the word back from the white community using it as a term to demean. I don't always agree how rap uses the word but I understand this particular purpose.
