Like Jim, I don't think rap amounts to much in the way of music, but I think those who like symphonic music do so simply because they've become sufficiently acquainted with it. I think that most people, if they heard, say, Beethoven's eighth symphony once a day over a period of maybe three days, would come to like it. A symphony is a code, a more complex one than a song, but once you get to know the code, the rewards are great. Also, a really smart person knows when to listen to ragtime instead of Brahms.
