As for Pitbull and why people hate him.

He is sort of a Guest Rapper, who sucks at guest rapping.

Thus if your listening to a good song, the sound of Pitbull means the song is getting worse.

I always considered him a douche, must be his face, it's just oozing douche vibes.

This move however has lifted him in my eyes, he is now an 'almost-ok-and-completely-a-douche' guy.

It's always fun to see celebrities counter-troll instead of just bitching and moaning and playing victim.

Yeah, I got 'will douche for dollars' out of that.  Dislike his style, hate his music, hate what he stands for in the entertainment industry and yet, cant help respecting the way he just takes the whole thing like a big man.

Has there ever been a song that was enhanced by a rap number in a song that isn't rap?

[Frumple]

Yes. Mind you, I can't remember any of them I've heard, but I'm quite sure I've heard a couple.

Rap is a musical style that actually has a goddamn incredible potential and pedigree, it's just... I don't really know. Something about the way it's propagated has resulted in the majority of the people utilizing the style being either incapable or unwilling to actually express that potentiality. You can't look at me and tell me the child of R&B, Soul, Jazz, Blues, Beat poetry, Rock, and basically the entire vocal and non-vocal tradition of Protestant and Catholic religious music along with the influence of the African percussive and vocal traditions, does not have the potential to be bloody mind-blowing incredible.

You hear it, occasionally. Sometime someone does something that, to some degree, shines through the solid gold underpinning of the rap style. It's just everyone else buries the damn core under a mile of excrement.

Anyway, vague remembrance. Ice Ice Baby and Under Pressure used the same instrumental music, iirc. Someone or another did a solid fusion of the lyrics of the two. I'd say it was pretty good. Not saying it's the best example, but it's one of rap mixing with something else to come out pretty alright.

Feel Good Inc and Walk This Way are the two that spring to mind for me.

Kom Igen Lena. But that's mostly because Bob Dylan.

[Neonivek]

So .1% of all songs that have a rap number, that arn't half-rap or are rap, are enhanced or at least matched by rap.

But that is to be expected when you feel like people add rap numbers to their songs because it is popular and not because "Hmmm, I think a bit of rap would make this better".

Dang it "Friday" why did you have to be serious? I thought you were a genius Parody/Satire...

[jester]

Same goes for any rap that includes autotune.
