Rock or Rap

[Blackest Night]

I started a topic like this in the last KH2.net. VOte your favorite or dont vote at all. Its up to you

DO NOT FLAME! ALthough you might feel very strongly about rap or rock or your own type of music, do not flame other people. If a fight starts, ill ask for this topic to be closed.

Personally, I really, really, do not like rap. I think all the person is doing is speaking into a microphone. I love Rock. I think it requires much more talent.

Im not sure if the poll button worked so just write which type of music you like, ROCK OR RAP ONLY! you can also write undecided if you wish.

I like rock more than rap. I dislike many rappers. I am most impressed with free style. I love watching freestyle tournis. I think that's---some real skill.

There are subgenres of rock that I dislike. I don't know the names, so I can't list them all... but I can tell you that I am in love with emo. Uhm, I really hate when heavy metal heads talk about rap only being about sex and drugs. As if ROCK never talks about sex and drugs. They do all the time. And killing people. Blood fetishes. Raping people. Suicide... I don't see how its any better.

But I can't deny... I LOVE dancing and that includes hip hop. When it comes to dancing, its not just the lyrics or talent that matters in the song. :3 Sometimes those beats just make me wanna get up!

I also like it whenever rock and rap are mixed together.

My music preference all usually depend on the lyrics. If the lyrics are emotional, understandable and so on, then that's already something I'd like. And it turns out that rock usually speaks more about the important things in life than rap does. Yes every rapper has a song that has deep lyrics, for example Kanye West has some good songs, but mostly they're just about pimpin and gangstas and crap.

So yeah, conclusion is that I like rock music better. I personally hate heavy metal though, and QJ, what kind of rock do you listen to then ?? Cause I don't have any rock CD's that contain lyrics about fetishes and rape o_O

Theres no proof that one style of music trumps over the other, it all depends on your opinion. I prefer rock over rap music, and type of rap music, but thats just becuase i love hearing the sound of a guiatr matched with brilliant lyrics. Rap has sort of become this decades mainstream. 80s was rock n roll, 90s was pop, and 2000s is rap. I just cant stand the lyrical content and music of most rap songs, it makes me cringe. I prefer rock, over everything. nirvana, evanescence, Crossfade, Marilyn Manson, 3 days grace, these are the type of music i love and listen to.

I don't remember the bands or what the name of the genre is (the one with blood fetish and a lot of messed up things). But anyway, the rock music I like the best, emo, does talk about blood and killing people. The rock genre I like 2nd best is alternative. I don't normally hear bad things in alternative rock songs. Alternative rock is just wonderful. Another genre of rock I listen to is rock/country. There is more. I just can't think of what they are called or anything.

I hate punk rock.

Some of the lyrics of the guys you like... and the sound of the music... makes ME cringe. Anyway, more accurately:
2000s - hmm
90s - hip hop, pop
80s - pop, grundge
70s - uhm... ya...
60s - Motown, whatever the beatles are
50s - rock N roll!

if rock n roll is even considered rock now and days, I have to say that... its good. I am much more partial to swing music.

Emo links to blood and killing people ?? ... aha... well my rock preference would go to Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, bands like those, and from what I know I never heard Chester sing about killing people, yet all of their songs are emotional. (although LP is more new metal instead of rock)

And yeah alternative rock is good too, sometimes... The Hives are alternative rock too yes ? Good, then yeah I like alt. rock.

I'm not that big of a fan of rap. Only rap that I truly may like is Rage Against the Machine. Otherwise, I'm a rock and metal fan.

[EmZexion]

I hate when people say rapping is all about sex and drugs and shit like that.Even though some rappers rap about this some don't I mean rappers like Tupac,Eminem,Nas,Run-DMC,The game,Jay-Z,and various others rap sometimes about world events and things that happen in there life.now there are some that corrupt rap like Ja Rule,50 cent,fat Joe,and some more they rap about sex and drugs.

Now I'am a big fan of Rap and Rock and rock music is whati'am listening to now like Linkin park,crossfade,The used,and green day.Rock music is not all that pue itself way before rap became worldwide rock music rule and Rock music were the main ones talking about sex,drugs,and violence.So before you say Rap sucks listen to the deeper side of rap and you will understand what i'am talking about :cool:

I like both because it all depends on the lyrics and beats. I like rock because it has some good gutair rifts and can be really emtional. I like Rap as well cause some of the rappers rap about really deep stuff just lisen to some of Eminem's stuff and you'll know what i mean. I don't like some rappers or rock groups but aslong as it has a good beat and lyrics I'll be happy.

[Pretty Pistol]

The only rap song or video I can tolerate is Eminems "Mosh", becuase I hate bush. It all depends on what style you enjoy again. Rap music, dare i say it, is like poetry i huess, an idiot can't make it up. Music is an art form, no matter what shape it takes, I prefer rock some prefer rap, it makes no difference! and quitejaded, if you cant get the decades right, why contridict me?

[Darkness Princess]

I love rock songs! just 'coz of the lyrics, but rap is sometimes cool.

[quitejaded]

Can't get my decades right so I shouldn't contradict you? Yah, because you did a superb job, yourself.

70s is different. Too many things going on.
2000s decade is not over yet.

[Mikail]

I like both. Where I live its not my fault why I like both. I go to a publinc school with the majority of students who are rap fanatics (take to no offense but they are all hyspanic and black). But then there are the rock fanatics (same as above except mostly white people). I fall inbetween both.

[imallaboutKH]

[Mezmerize]
