Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The music critic implicitly concludes that rap is not as individualist and nontraditional as the music professor claims. She supports this by noting that rap uses elements of older songs, rap has become a tradition itself, and that great rappers align their work with public preferences, rather than being purely unique.

Describe Method of Reasoning

The music critic undermines the music professor’s conclusion that rap is individualist and nontraditional. She does this by presenting additional claims about rap music— that it uses bits of older songs, has become a tradition, and often aligns with public preferences— that the music professor overlooked.
