So..... Would Jerry feel this is "music" or not?

First of all, I envisioned the dark star thread as the thread for all things Dead, but this still fits in the music thread.

On second thought - how does it fit in the music thread if Jerry says it's not music?

kinda bummed he didn't hold a high opinion or rap, though. By that logic, drums and percussion isn't music either, since it's only got meter to it? So go figure it's Mickey Hart of all people rapping.

I haven't watched this yet, but it seems odd to me that Jerry would say that about any music.

I think David Ganz played something from 1973 on his show that was very close to the good ole GD doing rap. I think it was Fire on the Mountain. I heard it many years ago so I may be misremembering.

yeah, I'm surprised Jerry wouldn't celebrate it as yet another creative medium. Geek out about how rap is some bridge between music and poetry, or something, but come on bro don't shit all over it.

then again, I think that's the same interview in which Jerry looses his shit giggling about how somebody put 800 hits of acid in his birthday cake, so maybe take it with a grain of salt.

Rap not being music is similar to golf not being a sport.

i have almost never voluntarily listened to rap music.

i have almost never voluntarily listened to:
hip hop
jazz
metal
r&b
top 40 country
adult contemporary
electronic dance music
techno

i'm sure there are others. those are just off the top of my head.

I know I'm shocked.

Aligns perfectly with MICH’s worldview

I have a feeling there's lots of John Cougar on mich's 8 track tape deck.

Music, food, etc., I say to each their own but in my opinion you are denying/closing yourself off to a lot of good stuff.

I'm not saying these are the best of the particular genre but without my giving it much thought these are decent representations.

Hip Hop / Rap






Jazz




Metal




R & B






Top 40 Country






Adult Contemporary






EDM






Techno

Find your own.

ac/dc is not exactly my definition of metal.

Kenny rogers the gambler is not exactly my definition of todays top 40 country.

Your definition of adult contemporary is a little different than mine.

MICH loves Born in the USA but only knows those words.
