Thank you Metal Priest I thought I was fighting a solo battle for a while :p

@Cream'd- Rage Against the machine raps but I don't think there's anyone who would classify it in the same genre as tupac and the like.

In my opinion - rap, electronic pop, club music, disco. Hate all of this.2_sm25.gif

I think you're missing out, people like fatboy slim and groove armada really make electronic club music one hell of a good listen.

That is because Rage Against The Machine has actual musicians who play a combination of funk, metal, and punk.

This is a good discussion and I think I tend to agree that rap is a vocal style. I never really cared to think about it before...but the rapping of the 70's is far different than it is today. Look at Blondie on Rapture...but then again their genre was pop music.

Or the scat singing style that we hear in jazz.

I found this interesting. To me it makes sense...I dunno...hip hop is the genre we know today that features rapping primarily as a vocal style.

Hip hop music is a musical genre that developed as part of hip hop culture, and is defined by four key stylistic elements: rapping, DJing/scratching, sampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing. Hip hop began in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop also denotes the practices of an entire subculture.

Rapping, also referred to as MCing or emceeing, is a vocal style in which the artist speaks lyrically, in rhyme and verse, generally to an instrumental or synthesized beat. Beats, almost always in 4/4 time signature, can be created by sampling and/or sequencing portions of other songs by a producer. They also incorporate synthesizers, drum machines, and live bands. Rappers may write, memorize, or improvise their lyrics and perform their works a cappella or to a beat.

The fact is it is considered a genre.

Well I don't really care either way...but I came to my own conclusion and it makes sense for me. :heheh:

Blondie rapped...but is not a rap band. Harry rapped over a pop song.

Some rap over hip hop, metal, alternative...whatever.

Like Hammerons are a guitar style/technique that doesn't limit itself to metal.

Others rap in every song. Guess why they call rap a genre idk don't really care honestly.
