90's dance is hardly known for musicianship? Isn't rap lyrical and so has nothing to do with playing an instrument. My preferred music genre is Metal/Rock/Classic Rock. Many of the singers couldn't play an instrument are they any different to a rapper rapping over a tune?

To say i am not open minded towards music is a bit of a piss take, i listen to allsorts of different music (50's rock n roll, prog rock, psychedelia, country, americana, heavy metal, southern rock, jazz, blues, disco, thrash metal, funk, motown, stax, pop, 90's dance, avant garde and others), all music made by real musicians who have taken time to learn and perfect their skills over many years and not some gangsta wannabe sampling obscure 70's funk rock tracks and adding a few N####R this and that all over the shot while changing it up with Bitches and Ho's every other word, absolutely terrible :exc:Wigan Warriors No 1 fan wrote:Well to say rap sucks ass and balls isn't exactly open minded.
A fair point the Bobbers, however there is a lot of keyboard/synth work on 90's dance.El Bobbers wrote:medlocke wrote:I stand by what i said, they are not real musicians therefore RAP shouldnt be classed as music it should be classed as noise.

For the record I do listen to rap and dance too. So to answer the orignal question I quite Like A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip (proper rappers name) is probably my favourite.
Oh I agree with you on that, I consider dance to be music just as consider rap to be music.medlocke wrote:A fair point the Bobbers, however there is a lot of keyboard/synth work on 90's dance.
