I always thought of Hip Hop as a collage composed of many different musical elements. Just as a collage in the visual art world is composed of various pieces of visual art componants. These elements only mean what they mean when they are arranged in that manner.

music is the collection of sounds purposefully arranged for a specific emotional effect.

random shit clattering down the street is not music. but you can use random clattering to create something musical.

hip hop is poetry set to a beat.

a beat can be music, but it is ussually just the base for music.

By the way, here's a list of songs that are based on "two notes played regularly"...

Horse With No Name
America
Exodus
Bob Marley
Dreams
Fleetwood Mac
Roadrunner
Jonathan Richmond
Something In The Way
Nirvana
So What?
Miles Davis
I’m Waiting For The Man
Velvet Underground
Whole Lotta Love
Led Zeppelin
Shoulder Holster
Morcheeba
That’s The Way (I Like It)
KC and the Sunshine Band
How Come
Ray LaMontagne
Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen

...apparently none of these should be considered music?

That took some serious research

nah. I just typed "songs with two chords" into google. :)

ahhhh, but a chord is at least 3 notes (fuck the barre). so those songs have at least 6 notes.




;)

This thread is painful to read. Truly painful.

Right.

My favorite 2 chord song ever Boredoms - super going. Almost 8 minutes of 2 chords and then 4 minutes of 2 different chords!

(okay, so I guess that's 4 different chords altogether but you get the idea)

I thought of that, but then realized: Not if yr playing it on a bass!
