Reply #19: When did you become the arbiter of what is and is not music?

[ET Awful]

Obviously the very institute you cited disagrees with you, they recognize hip-hop as music.

As I said to clintmax below, you sound like my grandfather trying to explain why rock isn't music.

Simply because it is not YOUR preferred type of music does not render it non-musical.

Attempting to compare Phil and Jerry to rap is once again proving how flawed your entire argument is. You are attempting to compare two entirely different entities and genres, it's the apples and oranges comparison. Do you say Picasso wasn't an artist because DaVinci's portraits were more conventional and fit your concept of what a portrait should be?

You're simply showing that you are incapable of thinking outside your pre-conceived notions.
