Thread Name: What is Folk? Is RAP the NEw Folk?
Subject: RE: What is Folk? Is RAP the NEw Folk?
I haven't really listened to enough rap to comment, but agree with the posters who say you can't just dismiss a whole genre. More poetry than music surely, and as such just as acceptable as limerick, sonnet, heroic couplets?
Rap does seem to have a lot of human input, whereas most hip-hop/rave I've heard would come seem to come under the genre of "twitch music". But there again, I suppose I might someday hear something to convince me otherwise
Do like oxymorons however:-
How about these:-
