There's quite a bit of it, actually.

By the way.
YouTube - The Roots - The Next Movement - LIVE
They're quite accomplished musicians. And that's just one example.
Moron.
1st....Eddie Van Halen - learned to play a guitar by himself, some consider him to be dope.
2nd...you might wanna check out "Outkast" ...Andre 3000 plays many instruments
3rd...check out "The Roots" they are a hip hop band......or teh Brand New Heavies, who are jazz funk and hip hop
4th...DJ-ing, mixing records, and turtablism is an instrument. I work the 1s and 2s, and I'll tell you, its no cakewalk. I too am self taught, took me about 6 years to figure it out.
YouTube - Mixmaster Mike Scratching
YouTube - MIXMASTER MIKE lesson
talk to Mix Master Mike.....tell me that aint playing an instrument.....
It's actually what the art form started as. I always thought it was one of the finer forms of modern verbal expression. Immortal Technique, Slug, Common, even some Kanye...
Yeah, this is good stuff. Have you heard the new Mos Def record? I've read some good reviews.
I got slipped the new Cage album.....
Its pretty good. The video is available here:
I Never Knew You | Cage (Rap) | Music Video | MTV
yeah its directed by Shia Labouf.....so.....
this what all the kids will be lisening to this summer...
Yeah, you're an idiot. It's got a beat. You can dance to it. It's as much music as Elvis Presley is.

Queuing it up....
I eagerly await The Roots appearence on Yo Gabba Gabba.
DJing is always something I wanted to learn. Any advice to someone looking to start, ie where to buy equiptment and what have you?
I'm an idiot. right. I never said rap wasn't music, big guy. I said it was bad music. I could make a rap album tomorrow. I said that Revolution #9 wasn't music.
And, yeah, you can dance to it, but I'd be more likely to slit my wrists to it.
Do you listen to Brother Ali at all?
I haven't, he's next in the list. What's it all about?
LOL. Very good.
One of the only forms of "music" that you don't even have to be a musician to create.
Yeah, I downloaded it last week. The first 30 minutes, he's killin it. Supermagic has one of the sickest samples I have heard. It's alright, nothing too great. His flow is a lot like J-5 for the last 30 minutes of it. Not his finest work, but it is real hip hop.
Queuing it up....
So many things wrong with this statement . . .
Such as what?
Jim Morrison wasn't a musician, either, but he was a big part of one of my favorite bands. He didn't know the difference between the key of G and the key of C...but at least he sang. There is a difference between singing and rapping. And rappers don't necessary even need a band to back them up. A lot of it is electronic.
To rap, all you need to have is a sense of rhythm, which comes naturally for the most part. How many rappers do you know of that actually studied music? That's the question.
