Do Hip Hop fans accept Rock as a legitimate form of music?

Hit the hammer on the nail right there. Or however that phrase goes.

I mean you're right. Music is the only area where I'm ignorant. Because it's more fun that way.

[QUOTE="needled24-7"][QUOTE="Toriko42"] Why would it be laughableToriko42

[QUOTE="Toriko42"][QUOTE="needled24-7"]Because rock is a much more legitamate form of music. Don't get me wrong, I like rap. If it's not crap rap on the radio, I might like it. But as far as music goes, I don't see how, in general, rap is more legitamate than rock.needled24-7

[QUOTE="supermike6"][QUOTE="Toriko42"] Rap takes as much talent as rock. The only difference is that it takes a special person to be a good rapper while for Rock anyone can pick up a guitar. hiphops_savior

Good post you mentioned multi-rhyme and internal rhymes

Don't forget to mention metaphors, similes/punchlines, juxtaposition, alliterations, anagrams and then mixing it all into one and reciting it in pace with the instrumental

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="supermike6"] Oh, so what instrument do rappers spend years learning to play? And voices don't count. The only things rappers need to do these days is make rhymes about shooting people and getting laid...at the same time. Rock (and I'm talking good rock here, like the 60's, 70's and 80's) takes years perfecting an instrument, finding a creative sound, and writing lyrics about something that's interesting. Rap is a waste of time and money. Of course, this is just my opinion. And it's right.supermike6

Indeed, ignorance can be useful.

Though it's not considered good to be totally ignorant of something you're trying to criticize. You just make yourself look foolish in those instances.

[QUOTE="supermike6"][QUOTE="hiphops_savior"] There's so much double standards in your post it's not even funny. And for the record, just because anyone can rap, doesn't mean they really can.It days practice for you to write great lyrics (I'm talking about multi-rhymes and internal rhymes, while at the same time, you're sending out a message) and not choke in front of the audience at the same time. Same with the guitar, anyone can pick up and play, but it takes years of practice to be good at it. A lot of Modern Rock bands can be just as awful as the rappers you mention only talking about guns, cars and girls.cody3232

What topic do you like to hear about in music?

Wale is one of my favorite new rappers, only Wale and S.L. Jones have managed to really impress me in this class of new rappers

[QUOTE="supermike6"][QUOTE="GTALoco"] They aren't just ignorant of rap, they're just plain ignorant. It takes a special kind of ignorance to judge an entire genre of something with no knowledge of it whatsoever, and it's indicative of more than just one's taste in music.The_Game21x

Yeah, I know. But to not be ignorant I would have to listen to alot of rap, and from what I've heard (which is probably more than you'd think) I don't want to. I know I'm generalizing alot, but I'm mostly just targeting a specific type of rap. If I seem foolish to you, I'll stop. I just find it hard to imagine what people think when they don't think what I think. That sounds really weird, I know, but it makes sense to me. OK, well, I'm done posting here. See ya.

[QUOTE="Morning_Revival"]Shouldnt it be the other way around? Rock music takes talent to play the instruments and such... Im not saying Rap is bad, but your question should be reversed IMO. markop2003

rap,hip-hop some are good,most are bad.

just like rock some are good,most are bad.
