Rap is not about melody or harmony its about rhythm and bass and it can certainly be a good fighting music. Rap is about two beats interacting with each other and performing this beautiful dance of music. One beat being the beat that you hear in the background and the other being the voice of the raper.
I can understand if you don't like the music because you don't know how it works but don't call it noise just because you don't get it that is just ignorant. In the song in the DOA5 menu however the two beats do nothing to compliment each other or work with each other they are just being played at the same time while true rap requires the artists to use his voice and words to interact with the beat and play with it. Also rap uses rhymes and a clever way to rhyme words even when they don't rhyme by putting pauses in between one word for example: communism -> com - munism
"so i tryed this new political view com
munism and it makes me come
and hit them"
Notice that im using the com part to rhyme with come by putting it on the end of the sentence.
There are much more ways of doing this but that song of DOA5 is just amateurs with no clue of what they are doing and just picked a beat and wrote some text that rhymes with no interaction with the beat so. But that is not what rap is rap is way more complicated than that so don't call it noise better yet don't call any music noise if you don't get it.
You misunderstand.
I'm not saying rap is noise. I'm saying the rap used in the menus (along with a good chunk of modern rap) is noise.
Such as the stuff thats nothing but "Yeah motherfucker yeah motherfucker bitch fuck yeah motherfuckin whore yeah". Which is sadly the majority of modern rap lyrics. That crap is just noise.
