Rap Vs. Rock

Just Post Something like this:

Rock: lyrics are unoriginal... Rap: lyrics based on real experiences

Your all forgetting one important factor! Fans of rap/R+B/hip-hop are the people in the crowd who are vocal! They only care for them selves. If you say one thing against rap from across a room, they will take the time to cross over and bitch you out and call you odd names for "dissing" it. It could be YOUR opinion! They DO NOT CARE! They are the loud ones who think they can do what ever the fuck they want, and they get away with it because the average person does not like getting bitched at by some black dude or some confused white dude who thinks he's black. This is the interwebs. Things go on here that rarely go on outside at the mall. Here we can have discussions like this and not worry about someone pulling that fucking race-card on you. I've had many blacks try to pull the race card on me. They tried. But the truth can be damaging. (TL:DR?) Like the copy-pasta in /b/ explaining how/why rap is degrading, thats true. It is degrading. Whats really bad is there is a radio station here with a 12 song play-list. All rap. 12 songs. 12 degrading songs. The loud mouthed fans of rap want to hear more of this dreck, so the idiots who think they have talent make more of it. Men talking about doing this to a chick, the chick moaning in the B/G.... Think about it. Just think. Is this really something you enjoy listening to? Its not music. It's not talent.

Sure, there are some rock songs/bands that suck and some people could agree with me there, but I listen to a rock station all day at work and the music I listen hardly contains degrading music. Thanks for reading.

Rap seems a lot easier to do than making a rock song, but...

On both sides, lyrics can be way too cliche and annoying as hell.
Likewise, on both sides lyrics can be interesting and entertaining.

most people who listen to rap haven't heard enough sides of rock to appreciate it, and not enough people who listen to rock have heard enough sides of rap to appreciate it.

Am I being too gray?
honestly, I kind of like both. n__n

"There are tons of talented 'rock' bands that are not popular at all but you'll find them if you listen to college radio and get music from sources other than television, commercial radio and pablum magazines like Rolling Stone.  Find venues and dyi spots that present bands that actually go out on a limb with their creativity."

not really

I'm a huge metalhead, but quite frankly, if i'm at a party or driving, i'll opt for 50 Cent instead of dream theater.

TRASH, WORTHLESS TRASH. A WASTE.

I Hate Rap by Confererate Railroad

 hate rap, I hate rap
Couldn't drive me crazier with a map
Talk about a generation gap
I don't turn my cap, I don't grab my lap
I don't do like that 'cause I look like a sap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap
I hate the beat, hate the rhythm
But I love that melody they put with 'em

I hate rap, I hate rap
One nerve left and it's about to snap
I'd rather hear a little Chihuahua yap
I don't walk that walk, I don't flap that flap
If I talked that talk my lips would chap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap
I hate the beat, hate the rhythm
But I love that melody they put with 'em

INSTRUMENTAL

I hate rap, I hate rap
It would rip Van Winkle from a nap
I'd rather be woke up with a slap
Than try to sleep through jive so cheap
They have to bleed a bunch of crap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap
I hate the beat, hate the rhythm
But I love that melody they put with 'em

INSTRUMENTAL

I hate rap, I hate rap
Couldn't drive me crazier with a map
Talk about a generation gap
I don't turn my cap, I don't grab my lap
I don't do like that 'cause I look like a sap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap

Cellador. Blind Guardian. Hammerfall.

You fail.

Rap= Let's talk about sex, hoes, being a rich rapper, being in a gang, degrading women, drugs, ect...

Rock= Let's sing about drugs, sex, rock n' roll, being a rich rocker, ect...

Same damn thing just a different background noise.

Pretty much. Rap is degenerate music for black people, and rock is degenerate music for white people.

Rock is a bunch of ignorant hillbilly nonsense. I prefer listening to blazing bass beats while someone raps about the ghetto and real life experiences.

lol, oh yes

smack that ho
beat that bitch
where's my damn money
get it crunk

not to mention the repeated use of the word "nigger"
just because they're black doesn't give them the right to use that word, it's still just as offensive
it's not like white people go around calling each other "cracker"

>>50
nigger

i got gold, silver all things shiny, even my fucking teeth
i need to hide my imperfections, i got lotsa money!
i can't fuck em hoes without my money! so what i do?
i rap and all you dumb homies, buy my fucking shit foo
then shit let's fuck girl it doesn't matter where
i was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air

I like "Niggers" by The Niggers, off their new album "Niggers", on the Niggers label.

Does no one think this is a tired fucking debate?

Also, that neptune band, regardless of how many instruments they make themselves fucking suck.

rock bands really have to suck to suck
niggers just plain suck niggercocks by default

I myself have fallen into this world where the rock/rap debate is going on. I am your average white boy, but I have a pretty broad taste in music.

I don't really like the mainstream, because most of it sounds like  someone shoved a microphone up their ass and recorded the noises in there.

What I hate more are the hypocrites saying that all rap and hip hop is bullshit. I happen to like DMX, Obie Thrice, Tupac, and Busta for that case. I won't say eminem because he is WAY too overated by white people.

the mainstream rock now is what many people call "emo". There is no such thing as an emo genre, it just receives negative criticism from those people that think they're so bad ass. and I see those rap lovers saying that all rock is emo. If anything, I'm better off listening to classic rock than most of this new shit they call rock. Few bands have hit me alot though, which are The Strokes, The Killers, and Panda.

If you want to hear a good blend of both worlds, listen to ska. I recommend Sublime, The Toasters, and Catch 22.

What we got to do is unite, what we should really be concerned about is Raeggaeton, I hate that shit with a passion. Hispanic generations evolved into booty shaking whores dancing to the SAME EXACT DRUMBEAT IN EVERY SONG!!

Rock you wiggers and niggers.

fuick shit ass piss

Rap sucks -.-

rap with a bit rock, kinda good

Rock is basically people crying over shit etc. Alone, misunderstood, darkness etc.

Bawwwwwwwwww.

>>65 You're thinking of emo, dumbass.

Rock actually requires skill in Music Theory (chord progressions, keys, those dots and marks on lined paper are called notes people...), and the music can be way more broad in color and mood.

Rap can be good, but mainstream rap sucks, end of story.

>>65

You think a lot of those bands actually "formally studied music". Hell no.

rap is crap
rap is for the talentless

rock is a huge genre of music

some rock songs MAY be considered music

all rap songs cannot

Rock is dieing.

Rap is dead, in the mainstream at least.

they are basically the same

Ghai

most of you would probly prefer j-pop while fapping to your evangelion hentai

y'all suxx0rz

Are you psychic?

Rap is just wank c'mon where is the talent in that, whereas rock/metal there are a group of musicians no just some wannabe gangster sat at a pc with an outdated version of logic and a microphone.

rap is hardly based on real experiences. they make everything they went through sound worse than it was and after a few months start rapping about how good they have it.
rock is just real

Rock is a bunch of emos

Rock is a genre of music based off of essential scales, keys, notes, and rythms to make a true master piece.

Rap is a genre of music that is based only off of rythms

"Rap is dead, in the mainstream at least."
Lil' Wayne, Chamillionaire, Nas, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Common, Redman, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Dr. Dre, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Papoose just off the top of my head are all dropping/dropped this year. Mainstream rap is far from dead.
GTFO internet-backpacker fags.
