Definitely not music.
Bullshit designed to screw a certain section of the populace out of their money and to sell car stereos.
Only thing in history that it could even remotely be compared with is the Beatnik era from the 50's where guys stood on stage reciting earth shattering nonsense that would change the world.
Never was nominated for any Grammy's though.
Had a small, ground breaking. dope smoking, cult following however.
Could argue that Bob Dylan came out of it, for better or worse, don't know if i'd call that music either.
If I were that segment of the population that this is being marketed to, i'd be a little more hip and embrace the real music makers like BB King, Robert Johnston and all the others blues men that earned respect, paid their dues, started rock and roll and will be forever blessed throughout history for their efforts.
Rap is just noise.
