why are rock artist so overlooked in hip hop culture?
 

i seriously have an issue with the fact that hip hop heads dont acknowledge rock artist ne more.....run dmc damn near merge with aerosmith......i mean.....how can ne true lover of hip hop....not rap but hip hop...see ja rule as good but wouldnt give credit to linkin park...or fred durst?.....speak on it ppl!

i agree i think that every form of music helps inspire any other form i/e eminem with the sing with it chorus
i belive that all music is coming from the same place (the artists soul and heart)

i also belive that the discrimnation between types of music is increasing and i see no real reason why

another point at the VMA's this year do you remeber what band recived the biggest applause and gratittude
it was COLD PLAY

everyone from nelly. p diddy. mary j blige and so on gave credit to this talented band

i think this might be the 3214324132412343214 thread on this subject, and i think i speak for a lotta people when i say Ja Rule sucks...

and so does fred durst

and so does linkin park....








































lets see how quick opey jumps on linkin parks balls 2 defend them....

i do listen to rock occasioanally but one band that i like is Rage Against The Machine. Prolly the group that best merged rap and rock.

Also i dont see why we need to discriminate between genres i mean if a rapper like snoop can do a collabo wit guys like the Chili Peppers i dont see why we have to hate its all music and its all bout brining groups of people together not spliting them apart

is that why you ran out and bought their cd after i forced you to listen?

Linkin Park is nice...

That is all...

lol..... crap

lol...Is it me...or am i the only black dude
in America that listens to rock...well i only
listen to linkin park... cuz they are gully...

That is all...

Linkin Park are good

Coast 2 Coat lemme guess your tha typa guy that listens to ja rule aint ya?

First off, No one sees Ja Rule as good and Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit suck
Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and System Of a Down are dope and get sum recoginition (Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg and Wu-Tang respectively)
but agree that dope rock bands (ex. Radiohead) don't get props that they deserve as artists from hip-hop cats
I don't know why that is

who cares. thats like asking why dont rockers like show tunes. they just dont so shut up
