actually cultures express emotions differently, but i see what you're saying. Really, the pnly universal lnguage is music, no matter where you are in the world, people recognize music, and people join together over music. A note is a note, and a beat is a beat. Everyone in the world can bond over music.
Rap alienates the fuck out of me though, so I'm not entirely sure if that is correct. I can get into Hungarian Folk, Klezmer, African Blues, Classical, Rock (even the types I dislike), jazz, but then if someone plays rap I am constantly looking for some kind of musical quality and can't find it.
Of course there is some rap that is pretty decent, but that's usually catagorized as hip hop. You know, with actual instrumental sections.
