I would tell Dez not to quit his Day Job, but ...

Crap is crap.

Sounds decent, but is a vocalist who neither plays any instruments nor can falsetto technically a musician?

Nope! Maybe "vocalist" but definitely not musician...

Any Taco stand rapper > Dez

Sounded pretty good to me

You're hearing impaired?

Anything to get back on the cowboys roster

Not sure how that’s going to get him back on the Cowboys roster.

Depends upon what you call an instrument. I'm technically a musician because I published a 10 second jingle I made using an online sequencer.

I love Dez, but rapping isn't music. It's noise.

Rap music started in the early 80s. It's older than a lot of the guys you are calling old men.

I do listen to rap music and that short clip was terrible. Tons of undiscovered peeps on sound cloud doing it waaaay better.

It is music, if you go by the literal definition of music - “vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony”

Synthesizers and drum beats are instruments, even if you don’t like them.

Not to mention there are absolutely killer rap albums featuring genres like jazz, like the entirety of Kendrick Lamar’s magnum opus album To Pimp a Butterfly.

Not bad at all. I thought it would be way worse.

Here's something I find good to introduce people to rap. (Or something outside their norm) Kendrick Lamar teaming up with Imagine Dragons. Great performance.

Some people act you cannot like the music you liked in high school and today’s music at the same time.

There is some AMAZING music being released today, and some of it is in the rap genre.

I feel bad for people who choose to limit their taste in music because they have already decided to write off entire genres.

80s rap was music. 90s+ rap turned into noise.

There is harmony, there is melody and there is rhythm in music. Rap only fulfills one of these, the rhythm section. There's not a lot of melody and there's not a lot of harmony. And thus, effectively, it is basically spoken rhythm.

I hope he invested his money

Try Early 70's.
