Sup bro. I think its obvious wat peeps on this site are gonna say but i do like a bit of rock. It has to be the right stuff, not no fuckin Korn or slipknot (altho i liked the shit korn did with Nas)

(X)eed 03-29-05 04:49 AM

korn did shyt wit nas????????Shyt dawg im lost...ai open 4 debate though

Dex 03-29-05 04:54 AM

Wen rock and rap come together it usually works well, i got a whole mixtape of tunes where its worked.

Seperatly it depends on wat type of rock you mean.
Hard rock is wack, but easier rock is cool i think.

Its like hip hop tho, differnet types of it all over the world

MC Virtuoso 03-29-05 06:40 AM

I like more rap songs than rock songs. But the rock songs I do like, I like more than the rap songs i like. But I tend to get sick of rock songs quicker than rap songs.
See if you can make some sense out of that. Hahahah.

E.C 03-29-05 06:41 AM

yeh man i have a strong taste in hip hop but i do like some rock like linkin park they aight n shit like tht they mix rap and rock together its gd

Legion 03-29-05 06:45 AM

its obviously going to be swayed toward hip-hop dumbass, since this is a net hip-hop community. Depends what your into, you cant really compare these genres of music. But i'd prefer hip-hop.

E.C 03-29-05 06:45 AM

^^ nopt necceserilly saken is a rocker n he could murk you lol

Legion 03-29-05 06:48 AM

Lmao, text maybe, but the majority of peeps on here, listen to hip-hop.

E.C 03-29-05 06:50 AM

yeh mostly... burt you always get some of the people tht are different

La Cosa Nostra 03-29-05 07:54 AM

I listen to some rock.. A lot of it is just wack meaningless bullshit with decent music..

But then, theres a lot of rap thats crappy meaningless bullshit thats only meant to get the party happening at clubs..

So I guess it all evens out in the long run..

Terumoto 03-29-05 09:11 AM

haha... how is this a debatable issue?

All the people who prefer rock are going to say rock. All the people that prefer hip hop will say that.

Its an opinionated matter, not something you'd debate about.

BUT YEAH... I listen to a little bit of rock. Not a lot though. Just whatever I like... Mainly jimi hendrix and some punk rock. But not gay punk rock like simple plan and good charlotte... The kind of punk rock from the 80's when punk rock was chillin and growing with hip hop.

Adam 03-29-05 10:14 AM

Rock was the gateway to Rap. If it wasn't for aerosmith, rap wouldn't of been as popular as it is today. Well...that is comming from music critics. In the song Walk This Way by Aerosmith/Run DMC when Aerosmith smashes the wall between them in the video...critics say this is when Rap finally hit it big, and that video basically symbolizes that rock let rap in. I like rock better than rap, probably because I live in a small town where everybody listens to rock, but I enjoy hip hop. All mainstream shit is gay, Gay Unit and all are just terrible. I listen to stuff like...Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Slug, Necro, Tonedeff...etc. I unno...

^ Word, all good music. Fire, All Along The Watchtower, Purple Fuckin' Haze.

Legion 03-29-05 10:33 AM

Its not debatable, two different things.

iamthatdude87 03-29-05 11:51 AM

Rock is gay Period..

L. Veracity 03-29-05 01:56 PM

^ says the small-minded individual that probably believes only white people listen to rock...

anyway...as was said above, it's about preference, not which is better or worse...Linkin Park is da shit, if you listen to their lyrics, they talk about some deep shit, they REAL as HELL and you can't deny that whether you like their "music" or not they're great lyricists...Evanescence iz dat shyt too...I'm into peeps like that...Maroon 5 is muh shyt too man...I love all kinds of music and don't really limit myself to a genre cuz well, the bottom line pretty much is that GOOD MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC...

Murdah.txt 03-29-05 02:17 PM

i hate anything but rap chea but i used to at one time exept tha song by tha used
is good

L. Veracity 03-29-05 02:22 PM

^ you'll never make great music if you're that one-sided and don't listen to anything but one genre..a great artist/musician appreciates all types of music, not just one...you'll never reach your fullest potential limitting yourself like that...open your mind to different things...only kinda music I don't listen to is country music and things like it, and hard rock shit like Korn and NIN..like I said, you'll never be great at what you do until you have an appreciation for what someone else does, though it's different from what YOU do...

Germ 03-29-05 02:37 PM

well, both have their highlights....people nowadays tend to generalize rock into the category of "heavy metal", where the singer gets on the mic and screams with no indication of lyrics at all......but if you are a musician, alot of that shit has some very unique guitaring, drums, whatever.....every kind of music has some good points......im not into "heavy" shit, but i do enjoy rock better.....mainly because i listen to more of the oldies now, like hendrix, trooper, springsteen, aerosmith (just to name a few)....70's 80's stuff, but i do feel that some rap is enjoyable to listen to, just not the shit where you gotta swear more times than actual lyrics or talking about gettin 'fucked up' on some shit and banging hoes the whole time, shit gets boring, some of it is cool, but alot of it is the same shit being said, but with different beats......but like i said, i find rock to be better, but thats just an opinion and what i've grown accustomed to, but i listen to pretty much everything.............the people who say one type is greater than the other, though, are idiots.......i think

Young Drama 03-29-05 03:37 PM

i like sum of dat Good Charllete but of course i luv hip hop

Know-Gimix 03-29-05 04:45 PM

This shit is debatable somewhere... but ona hip hop site, fucka rocknroll.

For$akeN 03-29-05 05:12 PM

Depends really, right now rap is starting to bore me
a lot so I turned to Rock Music and well I quickly found it
better the rap/hip hop genre. But then again I go through
phases when it comes to music.

Rock I listen to:

Dream Theater
Metallica
Box Car Racer
Fall Out Boy
At Midnight
Coldfusion
Idle Red
Emberghost
My Chemical Romance
MXPX
Coheed & Cambria
Green Day
Daphne Loves Derby
Velvet Revolver
Nirvana
Tool

(=And more=)

Master Minded 03-29-05 05:46 PM

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a fucking stupid thread........

Sir McNasty 03-29-05 06:04 PM

id have to agree with genius...stupid thread, but rap and hip hop are equal in respect from me

Wickedclown 03-29-05 07:06 PM

Terumoto 03-30-05 03:42 AM

because he expects you not to be the person who
has hip-hop tracks...thats all. and only has rap
stations on his radio. and then puts up posters of rap artists
and also steam rolls all other forms of music.
(visaversa for rock.)

..ADLIB.. 03-30-05 03:54 AM

Rock is dope. Fuck you fools. I love that shit as long as its old school. Kinda like Hip Hop most of the time.

(X)eed 03-30-05 04:38 AM

************** WELL rap sellllllls way more than rock......actually and sum rockaz....jus get on the mic and yelll 4 no reason......but........ rap has awesome beats...... ai...... but also rap is all bout sellin a dream.....i gues wit all flash cars and all....... rock is jus its self.....

Terumoto 03-30-05 05:11 AM

Believe it or not bling bling, hos, and flash cars ISNT what rap is all about.

Rock has a culture just the same as hip hop. The elements arent as clearly defined, but theyre there. And it sells just as much.

J-Money 03-30-05 11:40 PM

im gonna put it like this.. i dont listen to rock, its just something i cant get into/feel. but that doesnt mean i go around saying "fuck rock". everybody is entitled to their own opinion and their own choice of music. i live in a mostly all white area where prolly 80% listen to rock. in my school, almost every day i hear somebody saying "fuck rap" or "rap sucks". that shit pisses me off so fucking much. just because you dont personally like something doesnt mean others shouldnt

^ thats the stupidest generalization of music of ever read......quite ignorant as well......once again people are just sterotyping music, thinking rock is just guys screaming on a mic, sending no messages but death or drugs.........plus, alot of rock has really good writtten music.....people nowadays are just more fascinated with what you can create on a computer rather than with an instrument

(X)eed 03-31-05 04:37 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^Well tru dat....u got a point ai???/ but..... rap sellls way more den rock...and actually i wuz listenin 2 velvet revolver 2dae.dah song dirty lil thing...pretty gud actually ....liked it..i guess if u kinda force ..or jus go wif dah flow of any musik..u'll like it...and sum kat in this thread said u shud neva limit ur self 2 jus 1 genre of musik....... dat dsnt sho ur a musican or sum shyt like dat...i quite agree wif him ai......

exactly....but i think rap sells more because of the type of music it is....not saying that all rap is the same, its not........but you look at the shit that sells the most, example, gunit....and for the most part, that shit aint good, but people listen to it because everyone else does, and for the most part, i think people get into rap because its more rebellious, and they feel more "badass", you know, cause you look at the kids growing up these days, theres a whack load of violence and what not....and alot of shit, i think, is influenced alot by music........but thats just my opinion, i listen to both, but not as much rap, nothing really mainstream
