This isn't exactly the most enlightened thread out here. Let's start at the beginning: Ray Charles was critical of rap but did he really say that "rap is not music"? Source?

@simao: I'm in complete agreement with you on the "vague, uninformed, and biased cultural gatekeeping" here. Well said. My point was simply that, as far as I can tell, Ray Charles never said that "rap is not music." The fact that the OP can't even get the line right is indicative of the intellectual laziness of this thread. |
@tylermunns, I'm not joking about Lou Reed at all, but he probably was. He did a song called "The Original Wrapper" (sic) on his 1986 album Mistrial. I love Lou but that album wasn't his finest hour. |
@tylermunns, I hear you and love your list! That's some history you're putting out there.... |
