Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I love both so much. But I have to pick rap. These days I listen way more to rap than anything else - most of my favorite albums from this year are actually hip hop albums. But also because I'm an aspiring rapper myself.

Mus 7,848 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I’m REALLY shocked that the majority here prefers metal, cuz everyday there is a thread about a rapper here and I’m yet to see a thread about a metal band There could be a 1000 doves in the sky...

Whereas metal has never and probably never will be ever go mainstream? This tells me that metal is more authentic. That is not true. Maybe you never been through late 80s/early 90s and late 1990s/early 2000s or forgotten about it to form this kind of opinion Glam Metal, Rap Metal most especially were significantly huge and mainstream af that time (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ be delulu until it becomes trululu (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal is based on classic instrumentation. Rap is based on lyrics' shock value. If you have any example of a rap artist that hasn't used discriminatory vocab in his/her catalogue you are welcome to paste it and I 'll apologize. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love.

Magneto 13,146 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Rap =/= hip-hop. Just like pop isn't referred to as the genre 'singing' OT: definitely hip-hop Free my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornSimon 4,741 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Rap music sucks. It's probably the worst genre along with reggaeton. I can appreciate a bunch of songs (mostly from like 20 years ago) but most of it is utter **** imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal was never been ahead of punk rock, prog rock, disco, indie college rock or any of the other genres around at the time. All the genres were popular as was reflected by the charts Rap is nearly as old as metal (early 70s origin) yet its only gotten bigger and bigger the last 40 years, whereas metal has had a rise and fall and fracturing into many different subgenres Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,349 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Both have their great artists and terrible ones, but I voted metal. Heavy metal can be by FAR the most technically challenging genre to play, surpassed only by perhaps jazz. The guitar and drums of heavy metal music can be straightforward, simple, pop-like structured, or they can be incredibly fast, complex, and difficult to play. Rap does not have a tendency to push musical boundaries like that. Rap's production tends to lean heavily into trends and only requires a DJ to program it once, then they can hit play and rap over it. So even though I enjoy listening to both genres, heavy metal gets my vote, because I give my respect to those who put in the thousands of hours of practice learning to play it, usually to less reward and fame than rappers who lazily slur xanny-phrases into a mic.
