Discussion: Hip hop is not inferior to classical music
Xzibit - Paparazzi
From the Guardian music blog:
“Hip-hop is music - it’s as capable of expressing emotion and providing inspiration as any other form. Not every rap producer is a genius, and plenty of classical musicians wrote what their audiences would like because they were in it for money. In the process, both may provide listeners with moments of transcendence. Let’s savour those and celebrate them rather than pushing the debate towards deciding which mode of cultural expression has the greater gravitas.”
