Oooh please, rappers aren't musicians.

There are some that are...
but most of them are trash.

Ok I'll admit there are rappers who are good musicians, like Wyclef, but I just didn't like how it was perpetuated that if one is a rapper that makes them a musician also.
[QUOTE=bucks_ole]Would you really call some of those guys "musicians"? I mean, Ron Artest's album sounded like complete shit, anyone with the right equipment and some money could do that.[/QUOTE]
you arent even a musician if you don't play a damn instrument.

wrong.
anyone who is composes, writes, arrange, and perform music... is generally called musicians.
but then again "the musicians" we are are the quality ones.

Rappers aren't musicians.

If a songwriter can be considered a musician, I don't see why a rapper can't be either. And I'm not talking about crap like Soulja Boy or Hurricane Chris.
I think it's pretty close-minded to say that only people who can play instruments are considered 'musicians'.
David Robinson can play the saxophone and piano.

I kind of remember Tariq Abdul Wahad (or Olivier Saint Jean) played the acoustic guitar well enough to release an album.
I'm fairly certain Brian Williams/Bison Dele was, I know his father was Eugene Williams from The Platters.

Oh, please. Most rappers steal beats, they don't compose shhhit. Only guys like Wyclef and Andre 3000 compose their own music/beats.
I'll say that most rappers are writers and lyricists. But not musicians.
Brian Shaw is that dude :
