way I see it everything is music just on different scales so its a pointless discussion
why were ppl b****ing and moaning in this thread either answer the question or click off
What instrument do they play
Rappers are rappers and that’s okay
Hmm, I actually asked my nigga this question and we reached a mutual conclusion
No they aren't musicians unless they're someone like Cole/Juicy J/Kanye can produce, but they are artists for sure.
I’m of the opinion that if you make music at any level you’re a musician. Even song writers
What about producers? Do u count a daw as an instrument?
Yes
That’s who I’d consider the musicians in rap music
Yes. Your voice is an instrument. Rappers are vocalists. Therefore, rappers are musicians.

Pretty much
Obviously anyone saying otherwise is dumb semantics
Playing most instruments requires: Skill, rhythm, melody, breath control, and improvisation.
Rapping requires: Skill, rhythm, melody, breath control, and improvisation.
Literal definition of musician: "A person who composes, conducts, or performs music." There are three types of musicians: Composers (songwriters and lyricists), Conductors (directs instrument players, singers, and an audience), and Performers (Singers, players, etc.)
A rapper more often than not does one of if it not all three of those things. Therefore, rappers are musicians.
Like the f*** are y'all even talking about itt man?
