hockeytim18 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Okay all the time I hear of people that listen to rap talk about how metal music is just total screaming crap. People that listen to metal say they would rather listen to screaming than somebody talking about killing and doing drugs. So what do you guys think. Personally i'm on the metal side.

Miike 1 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 I'd prefer rap, seeing how alot of the beats are sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Oh I will toss no crap in here as I like both kinds of music equally. I just see the general stereotypes being tossed around in a little bit is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fury of One 6 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Well, I do like Slob on my Knob and Too Short's Yo neck, Yo back...Those are two of the greatest instructional songs out there...besides of course going the video route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stampeder 2 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 When you say metal bands are those dumb screamer bands you make people think the wrong things about the type of music. You can understand every word in METALlica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Absolutely, old school in both categories trump whatever crap comes out now. Dio, NWA, 2LC, all the other good bands with short names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M-Cohen 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 As Mack said, Oldschool rules both. I'm not old enough to be around when they were big but I would take oldschool hip-hop or metal over the "new" stuff any day. But to the main question, I listen to both. I try not to restrict myself to only appreciating one genre of music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fury of One 6 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 most metal isn't about worshiping the devl or anything evil. Exactly. I listen to a lot of hardcore & metal, but not all metal is kill your mother, father, rape your sister. Most of the insane satanic bands come out of Norway and of course there are some here from the states like Deicide. Take As I Lay Dying for example, their a Christian influenced band. If rap still sounded like anything back in the day, I'd still listen to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If rap still sounded like anything back in the day, I'd still listen to it. As I Lay Dying is definitely one band that disproves the typical metal stereotype...but to throw in my 2 cents, I'm a big fan of both. I prefer most 90's rap to the 2000's rap because of the topics being discussed. Although there is one rap group from around here (Philly to be exact) that is probably one of the most real rap groups out there. Jedi Mind Tricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who says that metal isnt talking about killing and drugs also? They both do. Metal just screams it and rap just bitches about it.I backup metal though.

For all the young'ns that don't know, Chuck D of Public Enemy doesn't smoke or drink and is actually an advocate against all that stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
