| Is Rap a valid musical form? @larsman good that you checked it out! But does quality, enjoyable music have to be 'musically complex' or 'sophisticated'? It does for me. Obviously, it doesn't have to be for everyone. I get bored unless music meets most or all of the cri... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @larsman Seems to me that criticizing hip-hop for lack of 'musical creativity' or whatever, is like criticizing a symphony because you don't like tympani - it's not the point of the music. It's about rhythm and words and the rhythm of words.... ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @mglik As said in my OP, Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a 🦋 Butterfly” is as sophisticated musically as any music I know. The musical themes evolve and develop including a brilliant rhythmic rap and sound effects that create “deep and broad emotiona... | |
| What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs? Norwegian jazz-fusion guitarist, Terje Rypdal (records for ECM records), has quite a bit of material that has a cold, sparse, feel to it. The album, "Whenever I Seem to Be Far Away", has a real, snow covered landscape, cold, feel to it. But much ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Since I originally posted on this thread, stating my dislike for RAP based entirely on its musical merit, I have listened to most of what has been recommended. I'd like to say I discovered something I deem of musical merit, but it was not to be. ... | |

| Is Rap a valid musical form? There are many styles, like poetry. Not as simple as you think, actually very complicated. Many of the songs are real and personal, about growing up, drugs, relationships, loss. For someone to dismiss this is sending a bad signal. Especially when... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Seems that a lot of this is "I don't like it so it can't be any good!". Just like my parents when rock music started. And like rock, hip-hop has certainly stood the test of many decades and then some, still going as strong as ever.... I would n... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? I will reiterate what I said earlier. My dislike for rap is purely, 100% based on its lack of musical merit. What I mean by lack of musical merit, is it lacks the things I look for in music. The things it lack are: a very high level of musicians... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Sure it’s a valid musical form. Not a very good one, for me, but still valid. It’s just one I happen to dislike immensely. While I can appreciate the political messages, especially in the earlier days of rap, the simplistic musical delivery syste... | |

| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? According to him, those Tidal, Kharma, YG, Magico, Vivid G1, Grande Focal and German Physik are truely good speakers, JBL ain't no good...and his reasons: JBL is boxy, horny coloration as hell, zero imaging. is this true? It all depends on what ... | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Wait... Doesn't this depend a lot on what type of floor one has? Solid foundations sound better with the sub coupled to the floor. Suspended floors sound better with the sub isolated from the floor. My friend owns one of the best audio/video in... | |
