Rap Rules And Rock Is Crap

[Jibbler]

I use drugs. Herb anyone?

The real advantage that rap musicians have over rock musicians is the beats. Most rap songs are a remixed beat, some new lyrics, and can be put together in an afternoon. DJ time is getting cheaper and cheaper, and this is why you see lots of new product from Eminem and others. Tupac made so much music before he died that we'll be getting new CDs for another 10 years.

Sure rock musicians could write a song in an afternoon too, but its far less common. In fact, remixes are very rare in rock music (Limp Bizkit aside), so an entire band must be assembled, songs are written, played, recorded, then mixed and mastered. Plus, hip-hop/rap music doesn't have the shelf life that rock music does. A rock hit will be played on the radio all summer. A rap hit, hot for a few weeks, until something fresh bumps it from the top.

How long has rap been around for ? 20 years tops
How long have te beatles and kiss been around for ? like twice that

They started establishing a fan base before most great rappers where
even born , and when there was hardly any compitition.

Do your own math ,comparing kiss and the beatles to rap is a waste
and a crappy arguement.Each are equally great leave it at that.

Rap is a great art form and willbe dominent in its own way ,just like rock.

Now trance is for retards, lets attack them instead.
