    No, musicians must be able to use musical equipment a lot of rapper don't even make their own beats or background music but rip it off from other artists or have their producers do it. Also, lyrics are inferior street 'poetry' not even legit poetry like quatrains etc...

    Not all of them are instrumentalists (the proper meaning of ''musician'') but I suppose OP was asking whether they are singers.

    This is real rap music, unlike a lot of the mainstream crap treated nowadays as ''rap''.
    A lot of nowadays pop is also shit compared to previous generations. A shitty one but still music.

    I can't stand jazz or country - does this mean it's not music?
    And metal performers are pretty good instrumentalists.
    Vocally it's a very varied type of music. I like most of its forms, including extreme ones, but I realize not everyone does. Still the ''it's not music'' argument is lame. You don't like distortion and aggressive vocals - your right. Just like it's my right to dislike whining vocals in country music.

    That's your opinion. I disagree, It doesn't sound like music to me.

    They are, or course. Being a musician is performing music, regardless of it's quality or the lack of knowledge on playing instruments.

    Yes. Just because it’s not YOUR/SOMEONE’s kind of music doesn’t mean it’s NOT music. I’m not a huge fan of rap, but the fact that there are instruments involved, a rhythm, etc., makes it music in my eyes. If the raps didn’t come with an instrumental, I would say it falls under poetry—whether free verse or not.

    I prefer rapping over rap music. I mean, I like when there is a rap segment in a rock/pop song, it's cool.

    No, it is basically spoken rhythm.

    What are your thoughts about Cardi B - WAP? I find it very, very vulgar and tacky. I am astonished that some women find it empowering, smh. For me it epitomises everything that is bad currently in this genre.
