    So a drum solo isn't music by that logic. Nor is a solo singer without any backing instrumentals.
    EDIT: This was suppose to come off sarcastically, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear enough. I do not agree with Ben Shapiro and was providing a tounge and cheek arguement why I don't.

      Music education is either Jazz, or Classical music. Jazz is basically is the Am chord overstating it's welcome with bass notes, million 13th, 17th, 23th notes for an hour with swinging to it. Classical music is a math test where you can't go outside of music theory what so ever. Both get boring after a while.

    1) rap has harmonies. It was derived from funk/R&B
    2) rap has melody. That’s why the songs get stuck in your head.
    3) rap has immaculate rhythm which, in hip hop, came from literally scratching a record.

    Anthony, my dad's an architect and I'm very sad to be the bearer of bad news but your house isn't really a building. You see, houses are made of a roof, walls and a floor. It's painfully obvious in your video that your house only has walls (1 out of the 3 key building elements) so it doesn't qualify as a building. Sorry again but these are cold hard facts.

Kind’ve embarrassing to say this, but it was so shattering to find out that Benny, someone who I thought was such a genius at the time, was capable of saying such an obviously wrong and stupid thing. From then on, I slowly started to notice more stupid things that he said, and eventually I just stopped watching him and all his lackeys completely. So thank you so much Anthony!

      We use melody, a lot differently. Rhythm and harmony is the foreground, not the background element. In Hip-Hop, there are so many subgenres - Jazz, Acid, Country, Alternative, Trap, Gangsta, Pimp, Experimental, Fusion, etc.
      Most rappers can sing up to 3 octaves or more, (like Nicki Minaj does ALL her vocal styles (rapping, singing, chanting, yelling, conversing NOT talking, etc.) in harmony layers all the time from Octave 1 to Octave 5 and a Falsetto voice sometimes).
      They all even sound different and genre bending in the context of Rap and Hip-Hop itself man.

      Yes, Rap, is music. Just as porn is literature and "Valley of the Dolls", is literature. Trash literature. When a Rapper can play the trumpet like Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Louis Armstrong, Ingrid Jenson, or play a piano like Herbie Hancock, then and than I will consider they are creative artists. Learn to play a damm instrument, Rappers are too fuckiig lazy to learn and practice an instrument.

    chopin (one of the greatest classical composers/pianists to ever live) attempted to define music in his journal many times. nowhere were the words rhythm, melody, harmony, dynamics, etc.
    most of his definitions describe music as “the expression of emotions through sound” or something of the like. its a definition that stands the test of time and satisfyingly disproves ben’s idiotic opinion on the matter.

    The classic Shapiro strategy:

    2. Make an assertion based on very selective evidence or pure opinion - "Rap only has rhythm."
    3. Draw a conclusion from the above and declare victory - "Therefore rap isn't music."
    4. Discourage counter arguments by declaring it a fact and insulting the intelligence/emotional state of anyone who disagrees. - "Facts don't care about your feelings!"

Buddy Guy is Black; most of the people who made that comment loved Rap. Go figure. For the record, all I said is I prefer 11 other genres before Rap. I have in the past made some hasty decisions. I hated Jeff Beck, yes Jeff Beck and it had nothing to do with guitar playing. I associated him with Rod Steward, whom I CAN NOT stand. There was an interview in Guitar Magazine, where George Lynch my favorite Metal guitarist, said I need in improve my playing to the level of Jeff Beck; that totally change my mind about Jeff Beck.

      KaDIsS yes most rappers get a degree in some area of music or business if attending college at some point. I’m pretty sure most go to college before career unless musical talent was found by the genres fans before the age to attend normally.
