I'll consider Rap music the day you can get a degree in rap composition and performance from Julliard (never).

Quoted from TheLaw:I'm all in for The Cure this year. Whom wininduct them, how many members show up, what songs from the massive catalog will they play, with Lol be there?
I hear Morrissey is gonna induct The Cure 
Quoted from vid1900:I love when you try to make my point for me.
2PAC was Modern Dance (think RENT)
But took that training and launched into a Rap sensation, first dancing for the Digital Underground (Humpty Dance) and then on his own.
If you want to study Broadway singling and dancing, Julliard is a great place.
Julliard teaches electronic music, but not as a degree program.
There is no Rock, Blues, Rap or Heavy Metal degree programs at Julliard, so I guess that those forms are not music?
(see how quickly you paint yourself into a corner?)
Rap is music, even if old white guys can't understand it. Just because one school does not have a degree in it, does not prevent it from being music.
Really, heavy metal, blues, etc are just styles that can be taught on guitar, bass, keys, and drums. Rap has what a beat, it's rhythmic poetry at best. I didn't paint myself into a corner because those forms of music follow theory and are taught at many academies worldwide, Berklee college of music in Boston is a good example of a Rock/Jazz/Blues school.
Quoted from vid1900:Now your talking!
They teach Hip Hop.[quoted image]
I give up then Vid. The world as I know it is over
How do you teach rap? These are words that rhyme with bitches and these are words that rhyme with ho. Talk about Cristal, pimpin', money, drugs, and said bitches and you got it down.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Come on dude you are better than this right?
I don't like 98% of the music Levi. I do like Wu Tang because they DON'T rap about these things and are intelligent people. I like Cypress Hill, Digable Planets, The Roots, and A Tribe Called Quest. I don't like the lazy tropes I wrote about in my previous post.
Quoted from TheLaw:Ohhhh boy....I need a tech here please
ODB is gone now
Quoted from vid1900:Those are all great bands, but from 3 decades ago.
Now I see why you think that urban music is still "rap" music
Relax, let this generation enjoy their Hip Hop music.
Fair enough. I'm admitting to being behind the times. I'm just having fun. Everyone has their perspective. I'm a prog fan, who am I to talk down to anyone My genre of choice has been dragged through the mud for nearly 50 years!
Quoted from cait001:All of those rock 'n roll composition Julliard degrees agree with you
Instrument types are covered as well as form. They have classes on "rock guitar".
Quoted from cait001:It said composition. They have lots of programs for rhythmic music production.
Like rhythm section? I don't know what that means exactly.
