Talk:rap

I think that there are at least two noun senses of this word in English not covered here. One is something like a synonym for "message" as it is used here. The other, I think, a verse in a hip hop song - a song might consist of multiple performers, exchanging raps, for example. TUF-KAT 18:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Not music?

Rap is not music but spoken word. Lysdexia (talk) 08:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

It is generally regarded as music and has e.g. rhythmic properties beyond those of normal speech. Equinox ◑ 17:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

It appears in the OED marked historical and rare. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:00, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

cited, but I tweaked the definition, because it is only 120 yards for silk or cotton. Kiwima (talk) 02:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
