Any rhythmic expression....The main requirement is an instrumental. Without instruments playing a beat or whatnot, the singer or rapper is not performing music. With that said, the dude saying that music requires singing and not rapping(what he calls "talkin") is very wrong. Groups such as orchestras perform and release albums. They dont always include a chorus with them. Now I know for a fact you wont deny that orchestras play music. Your embedded ethnocentrism wont allow you to. Most orchestras consist of caucasian musicians; who do not sing. It is still music; and very good music at that. Therefore, hip-hop artists who grant it, for the most part, do not sing, still are considered musical performers due to the fact that their music displays rhythmic expressions. Lastly, hip-hop musicians are far more talented than you think when it comes to the complexity of their music and their lyrics specifically. Not always the case for rock an roll. However, I am not disrespecting the genre of rock and roll either. It is simply my stating that most people overlook the talent of hip-hop artists.
Them gothic chicks need to get themselves educations before they obtain the right to judge music that they have little to no knowledge about.
Example of Rap Lyrics- "I specialize in hypnotizing, im never compromising/
my skills are surprising, despite hate arising its love im reviving/
under pressure im thriving best come outta your hiding/
like Randy Johnson im sliding into the front seat confiding/
in the girl I hold dearest in my heart two souls colliding/
so before you judge me racist laws your abiding/
pick up your knowledge and like Game stop snitching, stop lying" -Me(Im 15, and not nearly talented enough to become a professional MC, plus it took my less than 2 minutes to come up with that)
Ok some Rock and Roll Lyrics-"IM NOT OKAYYYYYYYYYYYY"-My Chemical Romance....Now i could be wrong, but it prolly took them a bit longer to come up with that....

-Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up"
-Any Song you've ever heard
-A two year old banging pot lids
-Birds chirping
-Any Britney Spears Song (yes, even Britney...)
-The muslim call to prayer on Fridays, or your local church's bells at noon
...it's all valid to be identified as music - everything after that is a matter of taste.

A time when a group of straight girls and gay boys get together and pretend to be someone other than themselves. Often involves excessive time spent with the same group of people, creating a family atmosphere.

Sound composed to make you feel something. i.e., enraged, depressed, motivated, silly. (some stuff just makes u wanna bang your head till u pass out ;)
Anything can be considered music, but I say it depends on skill and technicality. genres like pop don't cut it. Jazz damn good. Various genres of metal i.e., black<my fav>, thrash, power,death, speed, heavy, doom, viking, grindcore have great variety and style to them. Rap is fine, but it has to be very profound or its just annoying. hip-hop is good to listen to set the mood during sex ~hehe~. *FYI* Nu-metal is not music. It is just noise with half-assed melody made to satisfy the wannabe hardcore mainstream. ROCK ON

I love music. All Music. It is wonderful!
For God's sake, please listen to some music. Any kind of music! It won't hurt you. I know what I am talking about. I am a composer of some very minor pieces, and several albums, also known as compact discs, within the field
of electronic music. I earned a degree from the University of Montevallo in 1990. That's all I am ever allowed by law as of now in the United Stated to
do! And I was born here in 1966 just outside of a little tiny city called Chicago.
If you are seriously deranged or something, go away now and don't read
any further. Because what I am about to type now is the truth. Here Goes:
God gave mankind and womankind the power to compose music. See,
that was not so hard, now was it?
