[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1124371, member: 23412"] Back in the 40s there were people with this exact same view of jazz, in the 50s there were those with this view on rock 'n' roll, in the 60s about soul and R&B, in the 70s and 80s about hard rock and metal... The list goes on. And look where all those genres went, despite the people who refused to acknowledge them as real music. I guess if you're committed to being in the same historical camp as all of those people, those people about whom we all now say "can you believe people used to think this isn't music!" and you're choosing to disregard the entire current music establishment - all the major music publications, all the main critics, all the cultural societies (fun fact, the first Pulitzer for music that ever went to a non-classical non-jazz artist went to Kendrick Lamar) - all the people who, today, regard and review jazz and rock and soul as major music genres, and who have, long ago, accepted rap into that same fold and consider it at the same level - - then there's nothing anyone can do to change your mind. Nobody is saying that everyone must like and enjoy rap. We all have our preferences, that is good and normal. But to consider it as not a true genre, not real music, doesn't really track in this day and age [/QUOTE]
