Yvan, while I have no great personal like for rap music (there are exceptions) I do wonder about your stand on "dj"s as using "canned music"

Do you find players of the Mellotron not to be musicians? It too uses "canned music" that is manipulated for the purposes of the song. While it has a more standard form "keyboards", it is just taped sounds that are manipulated by pressing keys and foot pedals.

I really would not disqualify a "dj" from being a musician just because he uses a unique way of producing his sounds.

What matters if whether the music produced is enjoyable to you, or not.

And yes, I am a musician (player of music) going on 35 years (guitar and keyboards).
