Rap Sucks, Rock Rocks

ON MY OPINION, RAP SUCKS. IT ISNT REAL MUSIC. BUT ROCK ON THE OTHERHAND IS AWESOME. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Rap has a meaning unlike stupid pop and most rock! It actually is like a story! In my OPINION... rock sucks!

rap is like the rock music of the 60's. it has a message, like the music then. in the 60's music was about rebellion and rap is no different today. rock today is some funky lookin dude (or gal) whining about how depressed they are, when they have everything they could possibily want... its all power chords and distortion and whining. rap on the other hand is passionate (booty music is not rap) and does have lyrics of what is going on in america today. personally i'm not too big a fan of rap, i'm like classic rock... but this is some good writing......

Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
I know this: that people lie, people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears
What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse

I'm a rock fan, rap doesn't really do much for me. I have some in my collection, but not enough to call myself a proper "fan".

Ditto!

Rap is'nt too great in my opinoin but said by Happy Kine above it does have a message like rock in the 60's. I think every generation needs that kind of Rebel music but I am not fond of the violent lyrics in some of the songs.

I say that rap shouldn't even be categorized with music.

ROCK rules!!!

I'm a hybrid of rock and classical. ColdPlay is awesome to listen to and my dad has a bunch of rock stuff (well, sort of). Classical is also very cool, like soundtracks for films like Star Wars.

Yeah classical is really great, but my overall favs are:

Rock
classical
...um that's about it...hehe

Honestly all music has it's own story to tell, whether is is easy listening, hard core, rap, rock, country, jazz, folk, classical...etc
You can fight all you want about who likes what, but the point is music is an expression of the artist that created it.

must say rock too. THought there are lotz of rap songs that i like.
And by rock and don't mean these newbies (see linkin park) and so on.
I mean the heavy weights: manowar, metallica, aerosmith..etc.

I LOVE ROCK!!!! Rap is ok i can tolerate it....but i HATE pop and country.

me too

I live with a family that revoles around rap so I had to learn to tolerate it

Rock is my favorite kind of music, but some rap isn't bad. I like Outkast's stuff, and even though it seems "popular" Eminem is talented, no matter what you think of him.

Eh just cause I tolerate rap doesn't mean its grown on me. And I've heard rap my entire life. I think it just depends on the person

i like the old school rappers: run dmc, epmd, big daddy kane, boogie down productions, eric b and rakim, etc; the only modern rappers i like are the wu tang clan, dmx and naz.

rock sucks, rap rules, its mo' spiritual
classical is real music though, you got to admit

I agree with your concept on classical, but not too fond on your thoughts of rock and rap

rocks too crazzzy
