Rap vs. Rock
 

For years, teenagers have been ruled by the black music creation, rap. Rap's uniqueness shocked the nation's adulescence. They soon began to copy the african-american ways. Waring their clothes and speaking their language known as ebonics.

Yet, now and since mid-2003, the white teenage community has begun to emerge from this fad. They are returning to the original symbol of white music, rock. Rock, metal & heavy metal have been regaining the popularity they once had. More and more teens are buying these CDs and picking up where they left off, so many years ago.

As for the next few years, nobody knows. Rock may once again rise to be the #1 most popular form of music for teens and young adults. Or they may in fact, sink back into the black culture fad of the major portion of the 90s and early 2000.

What is your opinion? Will the white community continue to buy and listen to AC/DC & Pantera CDs. Or will they once again idolize Snoop Dog and the newest sensation, 50 cent(can't stand him)

LONG LIVE ROCK'N ROLL!!!!

Yeah definately... as much as I respect the ability for rhymin', I'll always be more of a fan of rock.

Woo! Rock n' roll, baby!

I think rock will slowly gain more popularity... we just need something new that is as great and godly as ACDC, Led, GnR, the ramones and the like. Without something new, its gonna be hard to win more listeners.

i like sum rap and such but im all about the rock and metal!
i hate wiggers. i wana curb em. die die die!!!!

How about Godsmack? They the shit!

Nobuo Uematsu own both rap and rock anyday ;)

I agree with Kuja. >:-D

WTF?

I despise the statement wigger and all other stereotypical derogatory terms.

That's why I hate Rap.

There are some good rap...ehrm...lyrics. Not all rap is bad, I'll admit that.

Rap blows. They can't sing, so they just keep rhyming. They are talentless, hoods who should be dead.


No flame, just opinion.

They don't sing period. I almost said "Songs" instead of "Lyrics". I base music on lyrics, and not beats or how it sounds. If a song has an actual message that it puts across, I'll listen to it.

What define good music and bad music ? Nothing else then personal taste. After all music is nothing more then noise.

Good music in my humble opinion is determined by lyrics. Which is why I hate most Rap music.

Some music depends on people's taste, but! To trully be good music, it has to be a sequence of beats, thrown together to a certain assemblance that pleases the ear.

Rock is very pleasing to my ears. ^_^

Straight out of line..."

I don't need a reason;
to justify..."

Godsmack, Faceless. The best newer band IMO.

Rap is crap. All it is is a bunch of people filling up so called "music" with racial slurs and threats towards peopel who have "wronged them". All the rap i hear is by african americans (except Eminem). THe terms "nigger","bitches","hoes", and "sluts" is used way to much. All these people are doing is degrading themselves as african americans and females.

There music videos are terrible. The only people who would EVER watch them are perverts or horny teenagers who have nothing left to do in there misearble lives. ITs just filled with a bunch of scantily clan women dancing around and having water/beer or some sort of liquid dumped on them. Truly dispicable.

Oh Lahd! Rahp mus-hick iz thuh Deh-vuhl!

Yes. I can not bear to watch a Rap video. It's like badly directed soft-core porn.

A bunch of half-naked women, sporty cars, guns, gangs, and other crap can describe their shitty music videos.

Yes. I must agree.

Heh. My dad listens to Eminem.

He killed his wife.

Did he? I only listen to a few of his songs, personally. I stick mainly to rock.

Rap:
I am 23.7% sure its 72 Cent
I am 19.2% sure its Snoop Cat
I am 62.9% sure its Welly

HAHAHAHA! Good job on the Rap artists! Though I think it is:

#1 81 Cent
#2 Snoop Hog
#3 Felly


Anyways you forgot White Zombie(Rob's old ban( and I saw no Motorhead.

hmm am I the only 1 that likes rap around here ? I listnen to almost all sorts of music, even classical sometimes, but 2 types of music I absolutely dislike are
1. boybands crap
2.(heavy)metal. Like there music videos are better than rap music videos (I know u will all say yes) only seeing some ugly band who scream something in the microfone and waving there hair or shaking there heads. Srry but I then really prefer seeing rap videos.

Its mainly that I mainly like slow paced music. U know the ones where U get relaxed, most rap is that. if I want to listnen to fast paced music I listnen to trance, dance or hardhouse, not metal.

anyway thats my opinion, every1 got there own taste.

So you like Country music? I hope you die.

Hey now, I like Country music! But I like Rock more. And New Age. I love New Age.

Classic rock pwns you all. Guns N Roses baby!

Gons N' Roses are pretty shweet. They are great and I do like classic rock. Not pussy soft classic rock, but their kind.

RAP...

rap has gone down slowly but steadily since the death of pac and big but im still a rap fan
