I picked A, does the idea that rap is not performed idiosyncratically and conforms to the public not attack the idea that rap is individualistic and non-traditional?
EDIT: A) doesn't say challenges the conclusion, whoopsie
Rapping to me seems more individualistic. All you need is a pen and paper and lyrical mind, and vocals, and some form of beat and rhyme, and presto! you are a rapper
this was rly simple dont get tripped up yall. He responds by addressing the conclusion (speaks about each point in his conclusion).... so I looked for the ac with conclusion stated and moved on.
got it right, but was 30 seconds over time. was a bit difficult for me to figure out exactly where the conclusions were. once I got that though it made much more sense. gotta get better with my conclusion identifying game
If it helps anyone, I went into this question with my strategy for point-of-disagreement questions. I first summarized the professor's argument and then the critics. It is not explicitly stated but the music critic disagrees with the professor's conclusion that rap music is individualistic and non-traditional. From using this strategy, I knew that the method of reasoning had to do with disagreeing or "challenging" the conclusion.
I can see why E is tempting because the critic touches on both aspects mentioned in the conclusion, but the critic mainly attacks the conclusion by showing that there are certain things he forgot to consider when forming his conclusion.
I still dont get how E is wrong. I still read the critic challenging the professor's 2 points
(non traditional and individualistic.)
The critic challenges the non traditional part by stating that rap has in of itself tradition
(which is weak but still a challenge).
The critic challenges the individualistic point by stating that rap music is not individualistic since it conforms to the public's preferences. (also weak but still a challenge)
I am getting these right, but feel like I could easily get them wrong. This felt like a 4 star. I had it narrowed down to A and B. Decided on B after 4 minutes. Ended up deciding against A, because the critic actually attacks damn near everything about the argument. So it stating only 1 premise did not seem good enough.
The music critic says, "And rap musicians do not perform purely idiosyncratically but conform their work to the preferences of the public."
It can only be inferred/ assumed that this is a response to the professor's point about rap being individualistic, but the music critic does not explicitly say it is, like they do with rap being non-traditional. Is that the reason (E) is incorrect? Because the music critic only challenges challenges group of claims explicitly?
this might be a silly question but is there like a formal process JY uses to circle words in the stim? i want to know why he chooses to circle those particular words.
you have got to be KIDDING. I had B first but chose C :(

Who is J.Y.'s favorite rapper?

6/7 THATS A WIN!!!
#feedback in the written explanation of correct AC B, it says "rappers can work along, they" instead of "alone"
can someone give me examples of how the critic would hypothetically provide "evidence against the professor’s premises"?

I am getting all of these wrong. Between NA and MR I might die.

Yo, yo, yo!
All you sucka MC's ain't got nothin' on me
From my grades, to my lines, you can't touch Kevin G
Im a mathlete, the nerd is inferred
But forget what you heard, I'm like James Bond the third
Sha-sha shaken, not stirred, I'm Kevin Gnapoor
The G's silent when I sneak in your door
I make love to your woman on the bathroom floor
I don't play it like Shaggy, you'll know it was me
Cause the next time you see her she'd be like
Ohhhhhh, Kevin G.!
Happy holidays, everybody!

Broke my streak :(
I was able to get all the MoR questions right but not the AP. What is not connecting? Did anyone else have this issue?
