Rock or Rap?

[ERROR 404]

Me and my friend are arguing...
So I came here
Which do you think is better?
Rock, obviously.....to me
Choose!

Who in the right mind ACTUALLY likes Rap better than Rock? The only people who like rap are the people who just do what everybody else is doing and don't care what it is.

i find this funny because almost everybody you will find will list one of their favorite genres as rock, or something with the word 'rock' in it

I'm speaking generally from people I know in real life, like my sister. She liked rock and said rap was gay and all that, but once people started liking rap, she was like "Zomg wtf Rock's gay, rap's the best".

[RocStar]

This forum can't determine which is better.

Fact.

[Sharpryno]

No one can determine which is better; all opinions.

Fact.

^Damn, you beat me.

[supra08]

To me it depends mostly on which songs. But I like rap better overall.

[Mr. Anderson]

Only God knows the real answer.

Rock is better than Rap. But I like both though.

[VY.Canis.Majoris]

I used to like rap, until the new rappers came along like Eminem, 50 Cent, and all those other people who ruined rap. I liked the old school stuff, like busdriver, will smith, etc. Those were the good rappers, dont care what you say but now adays rap is dumb.

Eminem is not new.

Edit: Why does 50 Cent still fall into this category? He barely makes songs anymore.

who likes rap anyway?rap is the music that makes everyone a gansta which can turn into deadly results.rock is ok,but then u start getting into metal and stuff,then most people grow their hair very long.now u got metal music playing all night every night.Thats why i listen to electronic music

Sounds stereotypical to me, and that's not always the case.

[ERROR 404]

I'm sorry, and no offense but techno is GAY.
And really, I'm a rock freak but I DESPISE metal and death metal and screamo

[poguemahon]

*Raises hand*

Case in point.


I like some rap/hip-hop, but honestly think the two genres are incomparable. Try comparing techno to classical, while you're at it.

[RocStar]

who likes rap anyway?
You should realize that there is a very large number of people that like rap music. From downloads to album sales. In numbers, probably close to billions.
rap is the music that makes everyone a gansta which can turn into deadly results.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Stereotype.
rock is ok,but then u start getting into metal and stuff,then most people grow their hair very long.now u got metal music playing all night every night.
I'm not much of a rock music fan, but that is also a complete stereotype.
Thats why i listen to electronic music
That's the reason why? Because you don't want to turn into a bad influence, or turn into some kind of tennager who plays their music full-blast in their car?

What's the matter, scared?

[gentoro]

I'm sorry, and no offense but techno is GAY.
And really, I'm a rock freak but I DESPISE metal and death metal and screamo

Techno is gay, but Dubstep, Breakbeat, IDM, House, Glitch, Ambient, etc... are not. The problem with techno is it's constant use of high-pitched sawtooth waves, they get incredibly annoying. As for you thoughts about metal/scream, the instrumentation is almost ALWAYS top-####ing-notch, too bad the singers (usually) ruin it. Good news is that most of the time they fill in a gap in the sound that the guitars and bass don't reach.

[Freddy]

I prefer rock in general. I won't go into any subgenre, but diefinitely more than rap.

The biggest reason is because rap is amost entirely lyrically driven. Yeah there's a beat, but that's always an afterthought. It's the lyrics that determine whether the song is any good. And if I don't like what the lyrics are about then I really don't care about the song. There's nothing else left that can like because there's nothing else left to like.

Rock is more dependent on the music, with lyrics still being important but usually being the costar to the music. The lyrics can totally suck but if the guitarwork is good enough then it doesn't matter. Or maybe it's sung really well or whatever. If one part of it isn't too great, you can still like the song for another part of it.

Now this isn't to say I hate all rap. There are songs that I like, usually because I like the lyrics. The vast majority has no apeal to me at all though.

[Mikeh]

The only (somewhat) acceptable way to like rap, is if you also like music.

I DESPISE metal and death metal and screamo

How you could lump this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBWcRMonvWA), this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73dvrir5kig&feature=related), this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov9bMJETZTo&feature=related), and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUElnf7Htaw) together is beyond me.

[CriticalX]

Everyone knows people who listen to rap are not real people, so the obvious choice would be...

[Alice Cooper]

Thank you for your compelling argument, CriticalX.

[RocStar]

Thank you for your compelling argument, CriticalX.
I agree, seriously.

I was just stating my opinion in a simple way.

Oh, you know I luffs you T-Roc. =P

[ERROR 404]

EPIC WIN.

That sig kicks ass

[CriticalX]

Why thank you. Although the argument itself was just sarcasm.

I don't believe listening to a certain kind of music makes someone a nobody. I believe what that music does to them makes them a nobody.

T-Roc listens to one of the stupidest genres (lyric-wise. <_<), yet he's one of the coolest guys here.

[prolagger92]

Dude as posted before Eminem is ####ing God
His lyrics are amazing and he is sooo funny
Thats something you dont do when u listen to rock, as posted before the song can suck but if the gutair is good.......

Eminem is one of the few rappers I view as "okay". I like his lyrics because they are from him.

Mostly because I do take part in the genre, and it's mostly what I listen to.

[TheRazorBlade]

You can never prove what's better cause this forum is the whole world

[Noxfaratos]

I like em both.

Rap is a lot harder to find good stuff though. Mos Def, N.W.A., Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim are all good. Most of it just blows.

And saying people only like rap because it's popular is just an assumption. So you could just as easily say everyone says rock is better just to try to be different.

[redwater40]

This poll is skewered.

Most people here won't listen to rap.

[marker2105]

rock, because almost everything can restort back to rock,and how can u not like rock,
im goin to see metalica sept15!!

[Punker*]

Why wouldn't I choose metal.

[Alice Cooper]

Because both genres have merits?

[DJ Stevie]

Rock will always prevail, because...you idiots who like rap wouldn't have rap without ROCK. Because rap got it's inspiration from ROCK. Rock really rocks.

[YoureANubcake]

Not all people that listen to rap are idiots, but I do love my thrash metal.

[literealm]

actually, i dont like rock to much, only more than rap, wat i rlly like is heavy metal

[prasinopengu]

Rock rules!

[.xgen.impulse.]

Neither Rock nor Rap for me.
I stick with Screamo.

[CriticalX]

Ugh... Screamo is a plague...

[DJ Forest]

I liked Rap and wasn't copying everyone. I just like it, not from everyone else liking it.

[Matt]

For me I prefer other branches of rock like alternative rock or heavy rock rather than crap like classic rock and such.
Music is all personal choice anyways and to say someone is stupider for listening to one type over another isn't fair. Yes you can make comparisons and say a lot of below average people listen to rap but it's not because they listen to rap they are below average, but that's up to debate.

[Blade_the_fox]

Rock

Cause 90% of the time you can hear the words on rock.

[.xgen.impulse.]

ROCK! :D

Rock.

[Timelinemc]

70's rock is the best kind of music.

[DJ Forest]

Men were getting 35 teamed. I just enjoy rap, nothing special pushed me into it. I'm into Soulja Boy, T-Pain, Ace Hood, Akon, OJ Da Juiceman, Will I Am, Gorrilla Zoe, Charles Hamilton, and the list goes on forever, but I wasn't forced into it and I'm glad.

[Five]

I'd have to say rock. Rap just doesn't seem right for me.

True that.

Rap all the way.

[13emily14]

They both have their good and bad sides... It sometimes just depends on what songs you're talking about.
However, I still think that overall, rock definitely wins.

[Spartanwarrior3]

Different Genras=different outcomes. Basically what it said. ^^^^

Anyways, fast rap, or rap that gets you pumped up is cool, but all the mumbo fake bullskit about selling drugs and killing people, is quite pathetic. I like modern day rock like 90-today, with some 80's. Nothing too old.

[azz16]

got to be rock cant beat it

[Light,Knight]

Talking about drugs and killing people is what makes it cool. Now days they DONT talk about that kind of stuff and thats why some rap is gay.

[RocStar]

Meh, I'll agree with this to an extent. Mostly because the whole 'dance phase' has ben repeated so many times.

[Billionare]

Rock is better by far.

Rap gets so boring cause it all sounds the same eventually with rock it takes a while to get to that point. There's only a couple of genres of rap but there's a whole crap load of genres for rock.

[Shadowcasterx4ffc]

There's not much you can do with rap. I've heard a few good rap songs, and the old rap is kinda cool, but rap today just plain sucks.

There's so much you can do with rock: it has a billion different sub-genres that all have a different feel and appeal to different audiences, and it's all around amazing.

[RocStar]

You can actually do a lot of things with rap, but it's just artists today are too ####ing lazy to expand their options.

[The Hic]

I don't really think I like rap all that much. Every song sounds the same in that genre.

[CriticalX]

Where's the option for Metal?

[The Hic]

Just put rock if you like metal; it's the option that is the closest to it.

[Mod#4]

Rock has been around a lot longer, so it covers more ground. Rap has only been around more recently, and while older rap is phenomenal, the shit far outweighs the quality stuff. Music as a whole has gone to shit in the last 10 years, even if there are still good bands out there.

[BloodyValentine217]

Where's the option for Metal?

Metal and rock are the same thing. Except that for metal, the people are singing in an incredibly low voice.

[3\/4|\|]

And they're not singing in low voices, they're screaming.

[RocStar]

Metal? Low Voices? What the hell are you listening to? Sometimes the voices are so loud that you can't understand the lyrics.
wwaaaaaaayyyyyy wwwwrrrrooooonnnnnggggg.

Let's also say that Mainstream Rap is the only thing that overgeneralizes the genre, and that some opinions are invalid because there are never a 'few' good songs, because there are a lot. As in, more than you can count on your hands.

I'm all for saying that both have died a long time ago.

[Eidolon]

Metal and rock are the same thing. Except that for metal, the people are singing in an incredibly low voice.

Oversimplify more, if that helps you sleep at night.

[Mashfiq]

I like both rock and rap. :)

[Spartanwarrior3]

They are both completely different. I personally like all types of rock, slow, hardcore, punk, deathmetal, 70's, 80's... all that.

As for Rap, I think all this mainstream stuff is crap. I stopped liking rap after 50 cent Massacre album...
I think all the old, "Gangsta Rap" was the good stuff. Though, few artist like Eminem, and Three 6 Mafia still produce decent materiel.

[lil,reaper]

i like both rap and rock but none of that mainstream wayne stuff the uderground stuff is the best but most ppl judge rap cuz they only listen to the mainstream stuff which is just made for money

Eh, rock is too huge of a genre, if someone says "i like rock" you dont know if they like your type of music (if you listen to rock) because theres metal, hard, soft, punk, prog., techno etc. etc. Its just too huge of a genre to actually judge them.
Out of all, i prefer metal, hard, somewhat soft rock.

Alright, I am going to weigh in on this.

I prefer rock, generally, but not all rap is for "retarded players". (or similar)

While I do not like the vast majority of rap, I'd like to introduce you all to this little thing called Nerdcore. There are some fantastic artists who create and play Nercore music. Personally, I am a fan of MC Lars and MC Frontalot. More so the former.

I don't want to be "that guy" who thinks overly highly of himself, but I think I'm fairly safe in saying I'm no retarded player. (I hope so, at least.)

And I like a subgenre of rap that is often overlooked in discussions (and generalizations) about rap music. The real "retarded players" are the ones who generalize and say all rap sucks.

I now await the angry responses of normally sensible and intelligent posters. (Like someone who calls people retarded players.)

Also, inb4nerdcore doesn't count

[Stickdude8888]

I like to llisten to all genres of music. So that means both rock and rap are to my musical liking.

It's all about finding the right artist that can play that particular style of music good.

Unless the "rapper" in question performs the beats/etc. it's not music, it's theft.

EDIT: I looked up MC Lars on YouTube, and well, I have to admit it's better than normal rap. Not because it contains any musical merit, but instead of making me angry, it made me laugh hysterically at it's low level of quality.

Rock definitely, specifically alternative rock. Rap's OK but I only like one rap artist, Eminem. Worst forms of music in existence are R&B, manufactured pop (thanks very much Mr Cowell ¬¬), country music and grime.

[Floatin]

Wierd...I hear ALOT of rock fan bag on rap.... very few rap fans bag on rock.

Very much so a fan of both (SOAD and TechaNina being teh greatest shiz eva), It's impossible to really lump all rap and rock together. Somes good and some sucks ass.

Let's just say this for any rap haters out there.
When you gets a little bit older, and start hittin clubs wit teh ladies, you gon be very happy rap exists.
Nobody wants to bump and grind to Nickleback.

Again, i wuld have to agree with rock, though i hear screamo.
but rock is the origin, so bless rock.

but then again, ppl have diffrent taste in musix. the more trouble making a person, perhaps the more rap they like.
the more hardcore or gentle but outgoing and crazy ppl like rock. which would be the fun ppl :D

The things you say that I understand are wrong, the rest is gibberish.

Screamo is a bastard child of hardcore and emo (which was originally a kind of hardcore but now its become a steaming pile of shit) music, and it needs to be dragged behind a shed and shot.

[ssgtGrimreaper]

Screamo is a bastard child of hardcore and emo (which was originally a kind of hardcore but now its become a steaming pile of poop) music, and it needs to be dragged behind a shed and shot.whoa whoa whoa.
screamo (synonymous with skramz) is bands like pg. 99, Envy, Saetia, etc. Skramz started back in the early '90s when the emotional hardcore/emocore/emo movement (a la Rites of Spring, Moss Icon) started mixing it with some hardcore and making these huge cathartic intense records.
when people say "screamo" now, it seems to me that they refer to anything and everything with screaming. or they talk about bands like the Used or something who really are more like pop than emo.

don't be generalizing my screamo. some of that poop is really good.

genre names are irritating anyhow.

This, so so much.

I swear all they do is cause ridiculous, circular arguments.

[Spock]

But we need our genre names to have elitist arguments and pass judgment on bands we've never listened to.

As for rock vs. rap, it depends greatly on the subgenre. I can't stand most pop-rock, but I enjoy classic and progressive rock.

As for rap, the typical Lil Wayne or Jay-Z stuff is awful, but I can always seem to find an artist who raps about something at least semi-understandable and puts some above average thought into the creation of their non-lyrical elements.

[PeopleWhoRock]

I prefer rock songs over rap songs.

[Alejandro]

^ Nice nickame.

I prefer classic rock or jazz.

Uh, Jay-Z never was typical rap.

[Preserv3.]

You should put a poll that says both or other. For me I like both but I listen to more rap.

[dlxrevolution]

I like them both pretty much the same.

[Spock]

Uh, Jay-Z never was typical rap.

Maybe, but his music still features some of the most confusing and incoherent lyrics ever.

"So don't believe everything your earlobe captures, it's mostly backwards... Unless it happens to be as accurate as me. And everything said in song you happen to see -- then actually, believe half of what you see, none of what you hear, even if it's spat by me. And with that said, I will kill EXPLETIVES dead."
- Jay-Z, Ignorant EXPLETIVE

"Scope honey from the whip. Jump out like 'YAH!' Who the EXPLETIVE ya with?"
- Jay-Z, I Know What Girls Like

"No room service just snacks and EXPLETIVE."
- Jay-Z, Hey Papi
