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
They are both good but, they will always be enemies and this topic is my proof.
End. Of. Story.
