What type of music takes the most/least talent?

Assuming that the artist produces/writes thier own stuff

Rap- Rappers gotta have the most lyrical talent, thier verses are long, and require lots of wordplay and metaphors to go with the theme of the lyrics. On top of that they have to have the rapping voice as well as some killer flow so they don't have to rhyme everything. On top of that rappers usually don't have the strongest singing voice yet need to come up with a good hook.

Im not talking about fools like tyga im talking real rappers

Metal- Gotta tie a lot of heavy instruments together and make it sound good, which is a lot harder than producing some crappy dance beat on some imac, and the singer needs to have a really strong voice, its not easy pop singing here. Sometimes they add some screams in which takes a lot of skill

I think opera singers take alot of talent to modulate their voice the way they do. Composers that put together symphonies...that's tough stuff as well. I also think high level pop singers(I'm talking MJ/Prince/Elvis level) have tons of talent because they make technically great music with lyrics they often write and still make it catchy enough for the masses.

Least talented I don't know.

Some are easy to learn but all are hard to master I'd imagine.

Most: Tie between Classical, Jazz, and Hip-Hop (inb4 some idiot tries to convince me there's a difference between Hip-Hop and Rap)
Least: Screamo and Dub-Step.

I think most take an equal level of talent. The only genre I don't think takes much if any is this new auto-tuned crap or that club music where it's just the same line repeated over and over.

Least: Screamo and Dub-Step.

Jazz takes a lot of talent.

Dubstep takes next to nothing.

I'm going to have to say it depends on how much work musicians puts into their works. In the end it depends on whether they accomplished their goals to create the music they wanted.

Also RAP takes no talent at all!! Metal all the way dude!

Good music takes talent, bad music does not.

Rap.

Beat + Exotic car + b*tches = first single.

Rap, and some punk rock. Not all but some.

depends. mainstream hip hop(soulja boy) is easy, but someone like mos def has more talent than can be measured. Metal sucks, but im sure it takes talent.

Country sucks, and takes the least talent, but then there are some great guitarists that play country music. Metal and especially death metal is pure garbage though.

In terms of pure voice it has to be Opera. Rap is kinda hit and miss, I mean their actually singing voice doesn't have to be that good, and you have jokes from Tyga to Drake to Rick Ross, but it can also be difficult. Rock requires a good mix of rythm, instrumentation, lyrics, and quality singing.

Jazz takes a lot of talent.

Dubstep takes next to nothing.

Though i personally love rap, I think it takes the least talent. Anyone with even a mediocre vocabulary can craft a few reasonably sounding lines by just listening to a beat. Other genres require that a person actually be able to play and instrument, which takes years of practice- writing raps just requires a basic english education, really.Tokugawa77

This thread is set up from the get go to be ridiculously dumb. All music - genuine music, not that made by a corporate record label in the same way that a factory makes flat-pack furniture - takes talent. The talent is right there in creating the music itself, in creating something worth listening to. It doesn't matter if you do it with a massive orchestra or with a drum machine and a looper.

And yes this thread was set up to fail pretty hard. Very silly question.

Why are so many people saying dubstep? Those producers are like gods when it comes to tuning a good bass, whether you like the music or not is irrelevant.

lol @ a lot of the replies in this thread.

To compare how much "talent" a genre requires without a good deal of experience writing or even performing in said genre is the apex of arrogance.

[QUOTE="freek666"]all music takes talent, anyone who thinks otherwise knows nothing about creating art.Iszdope

A big chunk of it sure ain't "art".

Talentless.

Talent is in the eye of the beholder there is no defined measure for hardwork or talent in reality so there is no music that just all of a sudden takes more talent or work then any other.
