What thread? Rap is for Black people and wanna be gangsters.
The "rap isn't music" opinion of flagpole's has been aired before and is obviously a troll/willful stupidity. I think his argument is that if it doesn't have melody then it isn't music. But there are tons of songs that blend rapping with melodic vocals or other melodic elements and vise versa. Is "miss you" by the rolling stones not music because mick jagger does rhythmic talking for most of the song? Is the Igor album by Tyler the Creator not music because it includes blends rap with neosoul and funk? It's absurd to draw lines like this and that kind of narrow thinking isn't something many GOOD musical artists will agree with.
Rappers have to piggyback onto rock, pop and country artists in order to sell out an event. And ain't no rappers gonna be going strong 50 years later like rock stars currently are. Sucks to suck.

If you are new to music, talking young people into what is current then rap will work, but if you know music know the history then you know how weak rap and hip hop are vs that other music world out there.
Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, The Beatles, The Stones and on and on, hell Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, so much music far superior to rap and everyone who knows music is well aware of that fact. You will out grow rap. you don't out grow Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

Always the old dudes crapping their pants in a retirement home bashing on hip hop because they refuse to be open to anything new. While it's ok to not enjoy hip hop, to completely disregard the cultural significance of hip hop is absurd. There are so many rap albums with amazing story telling and production, to ignore this is disrespectful to the artists and music itself. Obviously the rap music played on the radio (what I'm assuming you're familiar with) isn't meant to inspire some deeper thought, it's meant to be fun.
There's a reason why hip hop is the new #1 most popular genre, surely something that would be considered "bad" would not be this widely loved. The impact hip hop has had on African Americans, giving previously ignored/unheard voices the power to tell their stories, their experiences, and their world view is simply incredible. Hasn't that always been the idea of music? Allowing people to express themselves and tell a story from a perspective that you wouldn't previously been able to understand/see has always been what makes music so beautiful. Music puts hard topics in a palpable format.
Frankly, just because you're older doesn't mean you know little about music and this post is proof of it. It's OK for a genre to not cater to you and it's OK for you not to get it, but to dismiss the importance of hip hop in its short lifespan is ignorant. Unfortunately that's the reality, a story as old as music has existed, old men like you complaining about a new sound because it is a constant reminder of their aging lives. My suggestion to you, learn to accept change, life's too short to be so bitter about what younger people enjoy. If you are interested I would be more than willing to give suggestions.
Interesting coincidence, as I'm not a rap fan, but just about an hour ago I was listening to It was a good day. It transcends the genre and appeals to me.
I know it's probably as much s pop tune as a rap tune.
