there is just one or two beats in a average rap song (i know this because my friend is a rap cigarette) in an average classic rock song there can be 3 or 4 beats that all agree with the song and are placed at the right times, and rhythm changes throughout the songs, and classic rock isn't just bom bom bom bom chika bom bom bom chika its several Melody's in one. i guess rap can be considered music because it has instruments and such but i still don't like the lyrics of rap, hip hop, and r&b.
