shapiro couches this in asserting there are sufficient/necessary conditions of music, and then claiming that hip-hop/rap fails to meet these conditions. like, even if we accept his essentialist sort of premise, the contention that hip-hop doesn't make use of "rhythm" or "melody" is patently, obviously absurd on the most cursory examination of any track.
just an absolutely insufferable little freak.
