Rock is boring to. They just shake their head and nothing else it's not music. On the other hand rap has got rythm.

Topics like this make no sense to me. People have different tastes of music, and you cant really compare Rap/Hip-Hop with Rock because they are oddly different. This is bascially a spam topic because an arguement over Rock and Rap can go on forever...

btw i like both right now... :wink:

No, I just dislike rap :wink:

I agree with you, when you said: 'They just shake their head and nothing else it's not music.' , but that is 'Heavy Metal' rock.

I you take a great song, like.... 'Beautifal day', by the band 'U2', you cannot say that that is not music, because it has a great tune, beat etc, and it's not a real 'head shaker' song either. So i just don't understand, when you say that rock is "not music".

Anyway, I find rap music all the same, where there is a continues beat, with some guy talking, with a little tune in the background, repeating over and over again.
But this is only my opinion, and none of it matters anyway :)

BTW twinturbo , you've got some pretty sweet cars in your garage 8)

Ok, now you're really iritating me...
I listen rap when I'm in a "wrecking/badass" mood, and I will probably listen either to hip hop or techno while driving my car.
When I wake up in the morning, I listen to U2 (have all albums, favorite "How to dismantle an atomic bomb")
When I go to sleep, I listen my 2f2f soundtrack which consists of pure rap.
When I'm drunk I listen to trance.
Conclusion --> Each music has its purpose okthx?

No, i reckon thats great 8) It's cool when people have a variety in their music.

I listen to some rap, and don't mind it, but i just can't listen to it for an hour, or so. But rap songs are all in the lyrics.- and thats the coolest part.

Rock... But some aspects of rock are better than others. Also rock is a much wider genre than rap. It can be considered to encapsulate all metal genres, all punk genres as well as all the stuff in between like alternative-rock and folk-rock. Rap... is just rap, unless you include hip-hop and R'n'B. A fairer pole would be Rock vs. Other mainstrain genres, but it doesn't have the same ring to it :lol:
