What Counts As Spamming The Board?
* Obvious advertisements, other than for events you are personally involved in.
* Multiple threads on the same or very similar topics. Thread duplication isn't spamming if a previous thread on the topic isn't currently in the new answers page. Otherwise it is and the moderators will probably do something about it. Don't start complaining unless you've read this first.
* Trying to start advertising-style discussion about a product you're linked to
* Starting discussion intended to feed readers back to your site or your blog
* Making posts purely to link to your site or blog

Of course you don't. You remove the most melodic structures and what remains is SHIT!

You have NO!

And that's why it SUCKS!

What I hear is the music of Mozart of Beethoven, not the music of any Philharmonic Orchestra. The difference is Mozart and Beethoven's music are put into paper in details so that it doesn't matter who's playing them. It is first and foremost the music of Mozart or Beethoven.
I also think it is okay making a cover version if they keep the WHOLE tune, not turning it into a less melodic version.

They are used in the chorus to make the song a little more melodic just because the rappers aren't musical enough to write melodic songs by themselves. The simply have no talent.
