For the record, in my humble opinion, rap is NOT music. It's modern chanting...
but its musical in lyric, the spoken words still have melody, clearly some rap is better than others. Im no fan of rap but i respect it enough to know it still requires talent.
("Despite banjo-like instruments being independently invented in various cultures (such as the Chinese Sanxian, or the Japanese Shamisen), the first instrument that showed any sort of resemblance to modern-day Western banjos can be traced back to Central and Western Africa.")

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald

("Although popular legend credits Pope Gregory I with inventing Gregorian chant, scholars believe that it arose from a later Carolingian synthesis of the Old Roman chant and Gallican chant.")
I imagine King David's "songs" of worship were quite similar
You appropriately used the word "music" because there's obviously MELODY there. I'm certain you could show us an example of real chanting.
Or, better yet, show us some truly genius 17th/18th century central African compositions... on all those instruments they invented.
