If you want to abide by the premise that music isn't subjective (which, by the way, is an archaic [i.e. pre-20th century] approach to the arts), then it could be argued that even hip-hop is musical. The "pseudoenglish" to which you refer is the main instrumentation. But first we would require a universal, objective definition of "music," and, perhaps, a related discussion of what makes something "musical." I'll leave this to you, Lak, since it is you who has established this premise.
