No, but you said rap isn't music, when it clearly is. Just because you don't like the style, doesn't automatically make it not music. I can't stand country, but I still know it's music. I can't stand most techno and all forms of it, yet I still know it's music.

I also cannot stand either genre, and yet I consider both music. It's not a case of OMG I HATE RAP IT CAN'T BE MUSIC.
For me, spoken word =/= singing, and I think that's the issue for me here.
As for the producers having plenty of knowledge and skill, I'm sure they do, it would take quite a bit of work to put together a rap album. That doesn't mean that skill is necessarily musical.
