I&#39;d heard it was the biggest selling genre of music, globally, as well. Can&#39;t remember where I heard it though, I think it was on a music industry documentary on the TV. Although I&#39;m a BIG Hip-Hop fan it suprised me at the time, but I suppose they wouldn&#39;t have said it if there wasn&#39;t some truth behind the statement.

As for the "variety" question: It&#39;s been answered before in this topic. I can&#39;t think of one genre of music that doesn&#39;t have some variety within it. Rap has a lot of Regional/National variety: British Hip-Hop (London Posse,Etc) sounds completely different to West Coast "Gangsta" Rap. Same as Black Sabbath sound different to Sonic Youth - they&#39;re both in the same genre of music(Rock) but have differing sounds. Classical music is another case in point&#33;&#33; You could go on ad-infinitum on the subject of musical variety. All forms of music have variety you&#39;ll just have to live with that Adthomp - Sorry.

If a musical genre DIDN&#39;T have any variety it wouldn&#39;t survive very long. Hip-Hop has been around for 25 years and it has done pretty well for itself so far&#33;&#33; If it was stale and without variety it would&#39;ve died ages ago. Long may it&#39;s success continue&#33;&#33;

Does it fucking matter?&#33;&#33;? I enjoy both, depending on my mood... Stop this "better than you" shit and enjoy what different artists have to offer your fucking head&#33;

No it dosn&#39;t really matter but this is a discussion board where people should be able to talk about things without a personal flame war starting.

i gotta go rock all the way&#33;&#33;&#33; i used to like rap but it just seems so overrated and most rappers are in it for a popularity contest. or to see who is "the hardest" mofo out there.

BTW what is the vote count at this point?

Right On&#33;&#33;

I hate all these topics about what gebre is better, or who raps better. They always turn into people dissing each other. they should all STOP.
