A: I don't see why we shouldn't be able to consider music as literature, after all it does have a central message as well. It may not always be as positive as others, but it has it's purpose. We can define literature by seeing or hearing what the person is trying to tell you. Every author has a different way of getting out their message to you. There's really no difference at all between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony except ones singing, another is talking, and the other involves you reading it. Besides that they all have a narrator, a purpose, tone, and diction, grammar, spelling.
To give an example, there's the song What are words by Chris Medina. It's simple to define the literature in the song because his purpose is very obvious. He sends a message to the people listening by saying that you shouldn't say "I love You" to someone if it's only for some time. He tries explaining that what does it mean if you say them for no reason at all. You should only say them when you mean it. If you tell someone you love them keep your word and stick by them no matter what happens. When I think of literature in a song that's the first song that always pops up in my head. The Narrator would be him, purpose would be what do the words mean if they're only for good times and then they're gone. The diction, grammar, spelling used in the song is simple just so the audience listening is able to understand the message without any trouble.
