rap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is such music' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a bit contrapuntal?' is the wordplay.
'a bit' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'RAP' is hidden in the letters of 'contrapuntal'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rap that I've seen before include "Type of popular music" , "talking during musical performance" , "Urban music style" , "Sharply criticise" , "Form of music with chanted rhyming lyrics" .)
