I understand, I just disagree.
And maybe it is the term I used that causes the disagreement.
Most music is song, but there is a clear significant difference between what is considered Pop, Country, R&B, Gospel.
I sometimes think that when somebody raps, we automatically need to either associate or disassociate them with hip hop, mainly because hip hop was the first to use that art form for expression. I believe for Hip hop to grow it needs to recognize that rapping has gone beyond just being hip hop, and has just become a form of expression. When we get to that, we don't have to get caught up in trying to caught up in arguments about Soulja Boy being the greatest rapper or what not and mixing them with what hip hop is.
