i mean i
GUESS thats a valid opinion

[frostythehitman]

Alright, then if you're so convinced of rap's greatness, why don't you tell me about some of your favorites?

[parodeity]

all right check it
youll probably like this one

[frostythehitman]

[ He was genuinely expecting to be linked to some kind of ironic prank of a song. Like a rap version of Never Gonna Give You Up. He's surprised to find that not only is it not that--but that he does actually kind of like it. ]

Okay, but how is that supposed to be rap?

[parodeity]

its part of the genre
like
i think youre thinking all rap is ONLY this one specific type of song maybe
which isnt true of any genre of music really
theyre pretty varied and wide
if you look hard enough you can find at least one song you like in any subset of music

[frostythehitman]

[ he knows how genres work, dave!!! ]

Okay, fine. But then what actually defines something as being rap or not? You've gotta be drawing the line somewhere.

[parodeity]

it has to have a certain flow
rhyme and rhythm
those are the parts that matter most
and of course the beat

[frostythehitman]

That's called music.

You just described literally all of music.

[parodeity]

dude you know what i meant

[frostythehitman]

[ He literally does not. ]

Humor me.

[parodeity]

its way more rhythmic than other sorts of music like
god maybe im not awake enough to explain
theres a beat and rhyme and a scheme to it
other music mixes and matches rhyme sometimes and has a flow but like
not the distinct version rap does?

[frostythehitman]

[ He nearly grills Dave about it more, but he decides to be merciful. ]

So basically it's just regular music but with the drums pumped up on steroids.

[ He also would've mentioned "saying the lyrics instead of singing them" but apparently Dave's definition of rap does also include singing, so. ]

[parodeity]

maybe i should send you more music files

[frostythehitman]

Depends. Are they gonna be any good?

[parodeity]

excuse you every single music file i have is good

[frostythehitman]

Why don't you let me be the judge of that?

[parodeity]

ok
then i will make you a gradeschool style mixtape
hold the boombox of quality outside your window
and well let the chips fall where they may

[frostythehitman]

Fine, as long as it's not on an actual tape cassette.

[ He's pretty sure there's nothing left on this earth that could play one of those now. ]

[parodeity]

you have no sense of romance in your soul

[frostythehitman]

I didn't realize this was about you trying to woo me.

[parodeity]

dude no i meant like romance of the soul

[frostythehitman]

What, just because I don't want a cassette tape?

I don't own anything that can play a cassette tape. What's so romantic about them anyway?

[parodeity]

its like the feeling you get when cusak raises a boombox you know

[frostythehitman]

Oh yeah, blaring music on someone's lawn in the middle of the night. That's real romantic.

[parodeity]

again you have no soul
quite possibly you are a vampire im not sure yet
