To add to that, what do you think gives music the ability to captivate and embrace humanity from all different cultures and birthplaces?

what a dumb fucking question. you act like music is some abstract concept we discovered and are encapsulated by. we fucking make music that we think sounds good, and then other people like it. thats why we like music, because we make it to sound good. unless you're the kind of faggot that says he likes noise to be different and strange

Well first off we all have roughly the same ability to perceive pitch (and relationships between pitches) and time, so it makes sense that we'd all appreciate music the same way. Also, there's some reason to believe that the structure uses the sorta inbuilt facility with grammar that humans seem to use for language.

What do you think it is about rap that causes people to gravitate towards it, over any other particular genre?

it's funny, you have a musician with formal training and one who's self-taught, with no knowledge of the formal theory
given enough time, they both will use the same scales, melody structures, time signatures. basically the guy with no training will learn the theory "organically", he just won't have the names for the concepts.
it's rather fascinating that music theory seems to be universal rather than cultural. same as math really, you will have people on the opposite sides of the planet with no contact with each other arrive to the same conclusions

>music theory seems to be universal rather than cultural.
Not really... different cultures have entirely different scales, different rhythmic structures, and different ideas of harmony. The pitches aren't the same, the spacings between notes aren't the same, even the idea of notes can vary widely (see e.g. Istrian music). Belanese music actually uses the beats created by having notes out of tune to provide their rhythm. Even the concept of a time signature is not universal.
It might be accurate to say that two people raised in the same culture, listening to the same music, might come to use many of the same concepts... but that's not really surprising.
these are my favorites

Lot of Modest Mouse. These are more science related.

Beyond that just a few albums here and there. Death Cab for Cutie. The Postal Service. Solar Fields. Some Radiohead. A lot of soundtracks.

Appeals to the machinery of the brain more than strictly associative or cultural concepts. Heart beating is heart beating. Core emotional experiences are relatively conserved as are methods of storytelling / empathy. We've all more or less got the same body.
Speaking of the brain's machinery, I'm beginning to suspect I have some sort of brain damage. I can't ride an elevator without getting off and feeling like the floor is moving under my feet for several minutes afterwards. And also watching that text zooming in on the videos I found, my brain doesn't seem to know if I'm moving if the relatively flat plane the image is being rendered and then displayed on is moving, or if the text in the video is moving. I know what's happening, it doesn't. Kill me, for I cannot do it myself.
