I would have to ask wth is the guidelines for classifying something as rap? I mean, I can know it/recognize when I hear... but what exactly is rap? I assume there might be some out there that I might consider good... but I generally hear it bombed by... well... garbage... (which causes me to assume that trash artists are more attracted to rap style for some reason) I cannot remember much from how music... er... or songs/singing was classified... But I generally think the main aspect has to do with the instrumental aspects as well as tone of voice... Country generally always has paced guitar... certain shifting musical vocal tones... Heavy Metal seems to have more aggressive electric guitar and bass, drums... vocal tones unorganised... I believe that is just screaming... not much for tone... ( I have heard things that seem to kinda occupy between country and heavy metal, do not know what that is ) What exactly classifies rap?
