Guitar or any other physical instrument requires actual talent. And playing music is an analog to mathematics. Scales, harmonics, tempo are all algorithmic. Subconsciously the mind is developing mathematic memory while the fingers are developing physical muscle memory. It is well documented that musicians make great engineers, scientists and creators and vice versa. They are related disciplines. There may be some limited musicality to some rap but certainly not to the extent that someone who learns an actual instrument will have. I started as a musician, went into engineering and am now a materials scientist. I credit learning the guitar and developing that muscle and mathematic/pattern memory with my ability to recognize patterns and excel at what I do. There is a vast difference in my musically inclined colleagues vs those with no musical inclination. Those with musical talent are the creators, inventors and best troubleshooters. Those without can become quite good, but usually they just don't see patterns and are poor troubleshooters and creators. Music will enhance your life in every aspect. I honestly cannot speak for rap as it is a genre that I can barely tolerate, but I would recommend learning an instrument. |

Hence the "big news" last weekend that some rapper made a rhyming line talking trash about another rapper. Musically they are probably less advanced than a beginning guitar player but boy o boy can they get some negative bullshit going based off shit like who dresses better. Rap is basically a soap opera. |

Mostly because they're more intelligent and open-minded than those who rap. I mean, Ebonics? Really? How is that even a thing? Quoting: Festus Hoggbottom Ebonics is part of the culture dating back many years, since about the 1970s 😆 No. Ebonics is what happens when people lack the intellect to learn actual English. I did it. I did it on purpose. And I'll do it again. |

Whenever i travel for business, I play a game at the airports. Because nothing makes some people have a more inflated ego than telling/sharing with their friends that they're at the airport. My game is I look for the overly self important douche traveling with the guitar on his back. So everyone knows he's a musician. I look for that alpha fail. |

I've never had someone at an airport push on my that they're a rapper and start busting our rhymes at a gate. But Ive seen a million Dave Matthew wannabes trying to get through TSA like a douchy 'singer-songwriter'. If they have a casual blazer on hits like double points! |
