Rap vs. R&B The definition of music is defined differently between each individual. Some people define music as the blend of silence and sound. The definition musicians have for music usually depends on what style or genre of music they make. Some people feel that for rap songs‚ only the beat for the song counts as music while the lyrics are only spoken poetry. Listeners to R&B feel that both the vocals and the instrumental noise are music. Artists of these genres often collaborate with other artists
