where did you hear this? that's a generalized statement. I understand some sorts of heavy metal and screamo, but most modern rock isn't that way
Linkin Park, Crossfade, Breaking Benjamin, blah blah blah they can all sing.
Wow...just wow.
Anyone can rap? I can't, that pretty much kills your statement. Can you rap? Its not as easy as it looks. It may look like it, just talking fast, and going with the beat but, it isn't. Even when the most horrible rappers may have horrible raps about pointless things, most of the time. They still have the talent to rap.
Rapping ain't easy. Most kids think they can when they can't. Can you make up a rap within a few seconds and make it go with the beat? And I mean rap battling because thats what happens on the streets. I don't think not a lot can.
Just because, rock bands have the instrumental talents doesn't mean they are any greater. Playing a instrument, you can take a lesson and teach yourself, your own style and make you own songs.
Being a rockstar and being a rapper isn't so easy. I personlly like Rock and Rap. Some rappers I don't like because of what they rap about. I don't like all rock bands becuase I like what they sing about.
I like rock but, do I like slipknot? No
My whole freaking school likes them.
I like rap but, do I like 50 cent? No
My whole freaking old school like him.
A lot of people here like rap or rock because a lot them grew with friends who like them. I lived in the city all my life and its was very ghetto there, gangs everywhere, a high school on probation and on the brink of being shut down. Most of all city teens like Rap, Hip-Hop, amd R&B. Did I see anyone like rock? Nope. If, they were, they were the outcasts. And everyone made fun of them.
I moved to the suburbs and I find people who like rock. They are the one who laugh at the people who like rap. They make fun of them.
People who like any type of music are influenced by there environment and where they grow. Most of them at least.
As for me:
Rap isn't the best.
Rock isn't the best.
Rap = Rock
Rock isn't the best.
Rap = Rock
They are both good but, they will always be enemies and this topic is my proof.
End. Of. Story.
I don't mind people that like rap. I think you're allowed to like what you want. I think to become popular, you've got to have some talent. I too grew up in a not-so-nice neighborhood. I mostly didn't listen to music back then...mostly because I didn't speak English and I couldn't afford to buy a bunch of CDs. But yeah, I think you're right Silent Soldier. People tend to join the bandwagon and say they like something. I don't like 50 Cent or Slipknot either. I tend to listen to a lot of japanese music...which no one at my school listens to since the only Asians are either Korean or from Vietnam. The stuff I do listen to in English tends to be the bands no one likes or thinks is uncool, though I do listen to the popular stuff sometimes too. ^_^" When I blast my Tsubasa soundtrack, my mother thinks it's opera or something. XD
Style=/= lyrics. I thought a music guru like yourself would know that?
What i'm saying is that saying "the reason I hate rap is because of all the sex and drugs" is hypocritical because then you also would hate most of rock.
Spoken like a true genius. Rap takes just as much talent as Rock. There will always be bad rappers and their will always be good rappers. The same could be said about Rockstars. I prefer Rap, but I would not go out and say that Rock takes no talent. They are both even, just like this guy said.

yup
like i said not really. And if you wanna become a successful rap artist, you don't have to go into a rap battle. You just need to make sure you don't get shot, and have connections with a music producer, spend as long as you like coming up with a beat and lyrics, and LOL PLATINUM ALBUM!!
that's old school rock. Rock nowadays doesn't really talk about that.

Can you rap good? Doubt it.
You underestimate how hard it is to get into the music buissness and succed. Connections with a music producer dosn't gaurante success. Do you really think just making a "good" song is going to cut it? Hell no, you're song has to be great, or its deemed garbage. I know, I've had freinds that have been shot down numerous times, and they had really good albums, but they wern't great. But once you become famous, you can write whatever you want and it will most likely sell. The same goes for rock. Trying to make it in almost any genre is hard. Very, very, very hard.
Personally, I like both. But I do actually like rock more. They pretty much have the same purpose, like all music, to tell of a person's feelings, ideas, to tell of the troubles they went through. Of course then, there's the mindless crap that is largely played on the radio...which is annoying. I prefer rock more because I've found there to be more rock that I can relate to than rap.Especially there being more and more rap about girls, sex, pimps, money etc etc. Also, I just like the sound of rock more, as rap seems a bit repetitive sometimes. I like the guitars, bass, drums and stuff =D
