Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

@johnnotkathi ,

No, you interpreted it correctly. I don't think rappers are in any way, shape or form musicians. They're entertainers, not my cup of tea but entertainers none the less.

It was your other comments about long hair, needs a bath, etc. that harken back to what the older generation might have said back in the 60's and early 70's about rock bands and hippies that I don't see being applicable today. Anyway, I don't want to screw up another fun thread, so I'll end by saying I respect your personal view of that genre. Plenty of room for everyone.

I'll say this as respectfully as I can: You are wrong.

I may not be a huge rap fan, but rap unquestionably is music.

@thecarpathian  -  Yes, my comments about "long hair, all sounds the same, can't even play their instruments," etc reflect what I heard as a kid in the early 70's and well beyond, from parents and other "old folks & friends" protesting that which they didn't like and/or understand.  I am sure my folks heard the same from others when they were young, and so on.  It's the same vibe as many comments about the SB HT performance.....

@devinplombier ,

Yes, I realize it's a recognized music style, but speaking for myself, to me is not music.

Rap. IMHO it is music… just not mine. The Super Bowl music should appeal to the masses, not something so controversial as Rap. I do enjoy Rap’s beat. Something like Raye. A beautiful voice both singing and talking, with a Rap like beat. 
 

My daughter tells me I ought to consider Rap to be poetry without the bongo drums…🤔
