The reason I said "not rap", other than trying to be a smart-alec, is that I have heard non-rhythmic, free-form, free-association rap that is obviously rap, but has none of the rhythmic aspect that many people use to justify rap as music. I feel that rap can be disassociated from music and has a life as an entity of its own. While most of rap uses music, it is not music in itself; it's its own field.
