What is better rap or heavy metal? average

im just trying to see what kind of people get on GS and what music is more popular. feel free to mention fav bands of that source...lol

I prefer Metal.

i dont really like either of them but if i had to choose id take rap.. I hate heavy metal it sucks

Can you really compare the two? Two COMPLETELY different genres of music. I could see someone comparing subgenres within a genre, or comparing different kinds of metal I suppose.

*grabs a chair*

I hope this gets good

I prefer rap, but I have limited experience with metal.

Metal is obviously better

Metal. Some Rap is good, but not the mainstream crap.

They're my two least favourite genres of music, and I don't know which is worse.

Poll? Also, metal dominates anything cRAP has to offer.enterawesome

Now, this is what I was waiting for.

Come on OT, we need more intolerance and ignorance.

*grabs popcorn*

Bring it on.

i prefer metal because more instrments are needed to make the sound you want.

Rap. I'd say about 10% of rap is good, 40% mediocre, and the rest isn't tolerable.

I can only listen to about 20% of metal out there, without getting a headache.

Fave rap: Jay-Z, Celly Cell, Spice 1, Tupac, A Tribe Called Quest, Roots, The Game, Big L, Ice Cube, Scarface, RD 59, Snoop, Q-Tip, Jadakiss, Nas, and Notorious B.I.G.

Fave metal: Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Iron Madain, Children of Bodom, System of a Down, Mudvayne

Most people here on GS like Heavy Metal /thread

I would rather the one that remotely resembles poetry instead of the noise.

so rap it is =)

Rap, by far! Everyone knows I dislike metal with a passion.

They are both better.

Metal. But not Thrash. I don't like Thrash.

But yeah, I prefer Metal because rap to my ear is too simple. I prefer the technicality, the composition, the atmosphere (through bands like Agalloch and Primordial) and the vocalists (Roy Khan and Hansi Kursch are amazing).

There is different kinds of genres within these 2. European Metal is completely different than western metal 80's metal. The new bling bling rap is different than the old 80's rap.

Metal is my answer though.

Well I love rap and Im pretty sure I don't like anything belonging to the general definition of metal on OT. If I listen to metal it's something the White Zombie, The Sword or Atomic **** Which are all far cries from the band I usually see in metal band threads. Well actually Fall of Troy is pretty good. They have some really cool time changes, but not to the point that they're doing them just to make the music complicated. Plus dude can sing well when he's not screaming.

Maybe he means actual musical talent is required to play metal, as opposed to cRAP.enterawesome

So you're telling me that operating this equipment takes no talent?

EDIT: or how about freestyling these lyrics

Yeah, cos rap takes no talent at all. /sarcasm off Big L? BTNH? Wu-Tang Clan 36th chambers, The W or Wu-Tang Forever album? Or Jay-Z for that matter? Or Lupe Fiasco? There is a plethora of talented rap artists out there who have made great songs, why must people talk out of their asses when it comes to music? -_-BiancaDK

Love Wu Tang. I dunno why so many people relize how much "music" is actually in these songs. It would take a full band to play a lot that stuff live. Like you said with Jay-Z...not only does he spit some of the finest poetry but theres a hell of a lot more than just a beat playin behind him.

There are plenty of groups out there that could out play these metal bands.

I'm not saying it dosen't take talent (if that's why you're calling me ignorant) I'm just saying I prefer a good improvised free$tyl3(not that commercial nonsense btw) over someone who can scream, or play guitar, or play drums. I think it's clever.

oh yeah, that misspelled word was nesscary, it censored it for some reason :|

Two very differnet generes but I prefer Metal but I still like Rap, just not as much as I use to.

the worst rap > the best metalplanetshhh

:lol:

O rilly? (skip ahead to around 45 if you want to skip the introduction)

Srsly?

Oh, come on...

Do you take that back yet?

How about now?

Tell me if you need more ;).

Metal. More variety and instrumental skill.

Not that I hate all rap, just the mainstream stuff is such a bad representation of the genre. It's horrible, and pressing five or ten keys in a studio (like many of the mainstream artists do) and then looping them is hardly what I'd call talent. The underground stuff and the older material in the genre actually had some thought behind it, so it was acceptable in my opinion.

the worst rap > the best metalplanetshhh

best rap > worst rap

best metal > worst metal

Tupac is my favorite rapper, and Phil Anselmo is my favorite metalhead.
