What is better rap or heavy metal? average

the worst rap > the best metalplanetshhh

Even though I said rap is better than metal, this is wrong

This>This

metal

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.

I completely agree.

For instance, my favorite rapper is Lil Wayne, has been for years. But, not because of the bull**** he puts out to the mainstream. You know, the crap meant to sell records. I prefer his mixtapes and random tracks he records.

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

About 99% of rap music is vocal monologues about prostitution, drugs, and gang violence, with little to no actual music playing. While only about 90% of metal music is random screaming accompanied by random banging on musical instruments. That's a lot more good metal music. Here's an example song from my favorite band.NBSRDan

I am amazed at how you managed to get those statistics.

I can see what you mean, and I agree.

I can also say that about my favorite metal bands too, though. My fave metal, like this, are never played on the radio or MTV, while the mainstream metal like Disturbed and Linkin Park get played all the time, even their older stuff.

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

I'm not trying to intimidate him. Just trying to show him some good metal to see if he'll change his opinion ;).

I don't like either genre, but I can tolerate metal much more so than rap.

Now, this is what I was waiting for.

Come on OT, we need more intolerance and ignorance.

*grabs popcorn*

Bring it on.

BTW I'm seeing a few ignorant responses from my fellow friends :?cyberdarkkid

Not from me... :x

Metal has the better music I suppose... but neither talking nor persistent shouting are something I want in a song.SolidSnake35

Metal is not all persistant shouting... :|

Here, I'll give you a few recommendations :P. Check out each of the links and tell me if you like any :). The genres are different as well, so even if you don't like one genre, look at the others.

Heavy Metal (good intro into metal):

Black Sabbath (Ozzy Era)

Black Sabbath (Dio era, check this out even if you didn't like above link, because it's very different)

Dio

Iron Maiden

Judas Priest

Heaven & Hell

Power Metal:

Falconer

Hammerfall

Symphonic Metal:

EdenBridge

Kamelot (Kamelot has been ****fied both as power and symphonic metal, I'm not really sure which is more appropriate)

Nightwish

Those are my favorite genres. Another popular one is Thrash Metal. I'm going to strongly discourage you from checking out black and death metal. They are genres that are very, very hard to get used to, and most people only get used to them after other metal. I personally listen to no black metal, and only one death metal band.

Hope that helps :). Feel free to PM me.

Metal. Although I like Ice Cube's 80s-90s stuff.

Heh, for the longest time I had no idea what distinguished metal from hard rock. To tell the truth, I'm still not really sure on the distinction :P.

I cant see why people like heavy metal. Its some of the worse junk I have ever heard. I would take rap over metal any day.

THE METAL !

Heavy metal is just rock that's faster and has heavier sounding guitar riffs.

I don't see why people like RAP. :P

Depends on your standards

Metal, though I enjoy the best of both genres. Very challenging to compare these two... :P

Rap and HipHop

Rap, I can't stand heavy metal LOL

I prefer rap(hip hop), but this thread is pointless 90% will pick metal and say rap sucks without giving it any chance.
