You are right, Will. Rap on its own is not neccessarily music. The problem, will, is that you are isolating the spoken word from the sounds that accompany it.
When I speak of rap, I am speaking about the whole package, or as Baraka puts it, the tracks we spin when we want to roll with our hommies when we are looking for some play...
What purpose does it serve to do this other than to win a semantic argument?
