ROCK VS. RAP, Which do you think is better and why? Options

[aforce65]

I personally like rap, i like it because it has more of rhytmetic beat to its better than all that loud rock, i mean alternative rock is ok, but i think rap is better, it brings out the gangster in everyone

Well, it depends...

Personally, I prefer rock music. The members are talented when it comes to singing, and playing instruments, and writing lyrics as well.

Rap music, It's pretty much rythmic poem reading, with catchy beats in the background. Though rap music IS pretty good, I don't like the idea that so many rap stars only rap about sex and drive-by shootings and stuff like that. If they all talk about stuff like that, won't that send the wrong message to the public? It will make people think that african americans are all gangsters! I just don't understand that about Rap.

Rock music does have it's flaws too. Sometimes, just screaming is considered music in rock. What does that have to do with vocal talent? Nothing! Some vocalists can just scream their way onto top charts, which is just annoying. Other times, artist's songs on albums can all sound absolutely the same, every song. Alot of artists just don't experiment with other types of rock genre! If they reach out to more genres, they can reach out to more people! But that's mainly Mainstream rock. Other rock, I don't care about, except emo.

Yeah. That's my opinion. Both have their flaws, but both can be good.
