Rap or Rock?

As I see it, a genre of music becomes truly legitamite when it is transferred to drama, ie an opera or so. Jazz came so with Porgy and Bess, minimalism came so with Nixon in China, rock came so with Tommy and Quadrophenia.

Only thing we have from rap is 'Trapped in the Closet.' I must lament that rap doesn't really have much room for coloratura...

[QUOTE="Greatgone12"]Rap. There's a higher percentage of **** rock than there is rap.-Sluggo-

wow i think the complete opposite :P

sorry but singing about shoes or somethng like that isn't my thing :|

old rap i will admit is good though

There is an equal ammount of crap in every genre...except country, which is all crap.

I like them both.

I didn't say anything generalizing about it. I only said I dislike it and think it's all crap. Which is my opinion.

I can't relate to any of the country music I have heard, and I just don't think it sounds good.

Neither. I prefer Metal.Blood-Scribe

This isn't the place for this question because the majority of people here hate rap.

but to answer the question, I prefer rap cause I like "songs that talk about drugs, money, shoes and women":roll:

I know that is sarcasm, but the better rap does not talk about drugs, money, or women.

Well, maybe alcohol, lack of money, and being burnt by women.

I know, i was being sarcastic. It's just that the majority of rap haters on OT generalize rap as what I described above. And their only support to that "fact" is Soulja Boy.

The better rap and the one I like doesn't really talk about that.

Yeah, but to someone who is not an avid listener, it's all the same.

It's like trance, techno, trip-hop, etc... It all sounds the same to me.

I like both.

But rap slighty more.

Rock/Metal by far, I can't stand rap, and no its no because I've only heard mainstrem garbage, I've listened to plenty of lesser known artists and didn't like any of them, the genre is just to boring to me

I guess you've never heard of this...

Prince Paul- A Prince Among Thieves

but that was a cute example with Trapped in the Closest, I commend you for your effort even though R. Kelly is an R&B singer and not a rapper...
