rap (if it can be called music)

How is TCM not all over this?

Rap is, in fact, a type of music. I don't find it enjoyable to listen to, personally, but I can see why others do. I assume that the brackets were intended as sarcasm, but rap is objectively music.

He's still halfway through writing the essay length response.

Depends on your definition. Any useful definition of music doesn't include any rap I've heard.

Give me a good definition of music that doesn't include rap.

[GreatWyrmGold]

A mixture of rhythm, melody, and optionally lyrics that is pleasing to the ear.

[kj1225]

Not quite right, it should be pleasing to one's ear since that is a bit broader sounding.

Mafia?

I mean, I've heard of it but the few times I went there I was utterly confused.

Also, which thread should I go with and is there any specific place to post characters?

To play ER, every thread other than Dead Man Running. Sheets are posted in the OOC.

...Quick guys, note down the date! This has to be the first time I can remember fully agreeing with GWG on anything.
A historical even t'be sure.

[Pancaek]

really? I mean, I pretty much never listen to stuff, but "it isn't music" is just plain bullshit. What kind of definition of music could you possibly have that doesn't include rap? unless it also doesn't include loads of other genres

Well, does this not qualify for all those?

Actually, you're supposed to post the sheet in the on-ship thread, because that's where you spawn.  Plus I'm pretty sure PW only sometimes reads the OOC thread, so he could easily miss a sheet posted there.

[Elephant Parade]

Rap includes rhythm, melody (sometimes), and lyrics. As for it not being pleasing to the ear, that's subjective. If I hated classical music, would I claim that it wasn't music at all? Of course not.

Also, FYI, the actual definition is

vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

So yeah, rap is music.

For your sake Mastah, I hope you don't browse the forums using the "show new replies" function.

No, I use that first, and then use the "Show new posts" that even shows the ones you haven't posted in, so I can see all of them.
