Yes, but calling the music rap is stupid. You don't call Oasis a sing-band do you?

Gonna go buy cigs, back in a bit.

No, because hip-hop/rap is all about the rapping, really. Since the music itself is almost always sampled.

Doesn't really matter where you're from as long as you do the research and have the knowledge, etc.

You don't get hiphop then. Granted, lyrics and delivery are more important than in other genres, but definitely not all-important as you say.

I'm not the one who invented it. Public Enemy frequently called their music rap music, even in their lyrics. "Rap is not afraid of you", etc.

I'd call the Rolling Stones 'experts' at Rock'N'Roll, and they were English, while Rock'N'Roll was American.

edit:rock is american but perfected by the english
rap is american made and perfected by americans

I've been studying music for about 10 years now, I think I'm fairly knowledgeable about hiphop. Obviously more than you, at least.

feet are cold

and then metal is technically english made[Black Sabbath]
but somewhat taken over/perfected[however you wanna look at it] by americans [Metallica/Slipknot/etc]

What a ****ing idiot. There are Americans who claim (and actually have degrees etc.) to be experts on Egyptian history, aren't there? There are Chinese people who claim to be experts on Renaissance art, aren't there?
