Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"

@larsman I think that is fair and you make valid points.  
I shouldn’t have said someone who doesn’t like Ray Charles is “either a non-human or woefully ignorant.”  
My apologies.

“transparency” (Cambridge Dictionary):

*** The  characteristic of being easy to see through ***

Nobody has mentioned the ''explicit'' lyrics. They promote drugs,weapons,and violence against women. Not for me.

@rockysantoro you mean like all the hard rock lyrics that celebrate drugs, misogyny, and hedonism? I assume you don't listen to them either. Dude, stay out of the conversation until you know the subject.

Right on Ray!!

if u feel "something" while listening to rap that's it, that's all matters.
