    Rap all the way, for me, but not the garbage mainstream crap that most people like to stereotype.

    As you can probably guess, I'm white. I had no idea what "wack" meant. Oh well, I tried to be cool.

    I don't like crazy heavy metal, but the occasional Metallica, Priest, or Maiden listen doesn't hurt!

    I like the new rock. Not so much the death screamo or hawthorne heights, but the new rap is worse than ever though. "Gotta stay fly ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Till I die ah ah.........Once again, most rappers speak faster than they can hear. People talk about how rappers had it tough when they were raised. No money to go around, but some rockers went through the same stuff.

    Rock, but I do like rap a bit. Just the old school though.Today, rap is just taking ho's and a car in a club. There is not any depth anymore to it. All I hear is about money and girls... gets stupid after a while. The music videos are a mirror reflection. There are of course exceptions, but that is the norm.Rock on the other hand deals with an infinite spectrum of variety (sounded smart huh?)... it has more history behind it and the music videos are actually different than the other.

    I think old school rock and new school rap are tied. Most of the new rock sucks.

    I don't think anyone will argue that lyrics today are horrible.All rockers talk about are love, relationships, etc.All rappers talk about are hoes, drugs, cars, pimps, etc.Again, I am speaking about mainstream bands

    There is much more than Love and Relationships in Rock.. but I guess mainstream, I have to agree a little bit.I agree the new rock is starting to suck, with all the emo bands coming out, it just sickens me.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Camby_Land @ Jun 28 2006, 02:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Rock N Roll is kind of outdated, most of it today sucks.

    Re: Rock'N'Roll vs. Rap

    Only rap artists I actually follow, not just listen to a couple of songs are Eminem, The Game, and Kanye. I used to listen to Tupac but out-listened him. His music just doesn't appeal any longer. I only listen to the type of rap that is not mainstream. Eminem has a lot of mainstream songs, but he doesn't say stupid things like "wait till you see my dick wait till you see my dick" for an entire song. Anyways Rock (all types -- Metal, hard rock, classic rock, alternrock, indie, nu metal, e t c) is real music. It isn't computer-generated music with people talking. rap fan boys say in rap it's all about flow. In rock, a song is messed up w/o flow. if a rap song doesn't have any flow people will just be like "hahaha i like this song a good rapper made it he has good songs". Rock music is original, guitars, drums, piano, violins, saxes, etc. I rap myself but I make my own music and I have almost like a signing flow/tune when i rap. not really rapping, but not rock either. I guess it's nu metal/rap metal by myself. But rock has a lot more variety.

    People stereotype rap way to much, with the exception of a few here I don't think anyone here really knows much about the genre or anything about the artists in general.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SunnyD @ Jun 27 2006, 07:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>The Ultimate Musical Debate. Which powerhouse genre wins?I'm with Rock 100%. It's older, it has more variety, and it's just great all around. Whereas rap is more:"I need a dime, top of the line.............." Maybe it's just they speak faster than I can hear, but some is just annoying "booty booty booty booty booty.......", while some is just too sucky.Kanye West and Public Enemy is all the rap I listen too. While the rock list can go on and on.</div>wow, that is the saddest comeback i ever heard. First of all there are diffrent rap styles. You are the type of person that stereotypes rappers. You are not liking the "booty booty booty...." but you know, not every kind of rap is like that. That is that rapper. There are diffrent rap styles. There is West Coast Rap (My style) East Coast Rap (old school is better) and the South style rap. So diffrent styles say and sound totally diffrent. Me personally I listen to The Game, Atmosphere, Binary Star, Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs, Mos Def, Immortal Technique,Tupac, Biggie, E-40, Kanye West, Common.. i could go on and on, but my point is all thoes peoples styles are nothing like that booty booty booty crap and that "im lookin for a dime..." I like Rock by the way. I love Boston, Tom petty, ACDC, Def Lepard, Van Halen, i can go on and on on rock to.. i love them both.. but in this Era.. Im saying I like Rap More

    I actually think most rap fans here don't know much about rap. They probably just know mainstream rap, and nothing else
