and rather than address it, they're just circling their wagons and flying the "Hip-Hop *IS* real music, you just have to know how to break it down" banners. Nobody is admitting that the shit CANNOT, in it's most elemental form, be written on sheet music as ONE ENTIRE COMPOSITION. All they keep talking about is polyrhythms, and cadences and wordplay and all that other shit.

The minute somebody shows me the Sheet Music for "Welcome To The Terrordome" I'll shut up.
