It's time for Progressive RAP?

   ^ well mostly, David. We do extend beyond the paramaters of rock with progressive electronic and Indo-raga which often doesn't have any rock in the equation. Likewise with some psychedelic folk that eschews the rock elements. I think these inclusions instill a great amount of confusion for newbies. It sure did for me. However, progressive rap ain't happenin' here!

	There's plenty of progressive rap out there - some of it is even listed here on PA. Faust's collab with Dälek for instance... but it contains rock. All styles of music have the potential of being progressive. Rap, blues, classical, polka, dub-step, klezmer and jazz - I should know - I've heard progressive music in all those genres. PA just concerns itself with the rock part of the equation.

	I don't think it is progressive. Progressive doesn't mean automatically different time signatures.

	Different time signatures in one rap song...not that common for the genre. What do you think? (Here's the official video without translation to Spanish)
