Rap or Rock?

[DarkCoffeeJazz]

Rock is anything from classic to modern to punk.
Rap... is... well, rap.

Simple enough. Place your vote. Explain what and why you voted.
That is all.

I vote Rock, since I find it to be more along the lines of what MUSIC is, rather than Rap.

I voted rock. Rap has too many bad words for my liking.

Rock can have just as many, if not more, bad words depending on where you look. (;



I voted rock, though I like rap music as well. I can see why people like either one really. For me, I just fell in love with overly distorted guitars and catching riffs, backed by epic drumming and a sweet sweet bassline, filled to the brim with lyrical goodness.
I exaggerate, but I think you get the point.

Rock because I love loud guitar. Can't help it.

Although I do appreciate rap, or hip-hop if you would. Just isn't my first choice.

 

[Tallerthanatree]

I like both pretty much equally.

 

[TexasHighlander]

Cant stand (C)rap. Its degrading and promotes violence towards women and to LEOs. Promotes drugs and generally gives out a negative vibe. If you want real music, listen to classical.

Yes, and rock promotes respect towards women, a drug-free lifestyle, and gives out such a positive and wholesome vibe. "Virgin Killer" anyone? Great family album.

Great, another rock vs. rap thread. Pointless.

I vote for Top 40 mainstream bubblegum pop. If you want real music, listen to Katy Perry.

That makes me LOL wasnt her first hit about Kissing a girl???? Anyways Rock all the way because it actually takes talent to play an instrument. Plus Guitar solos rock!! Slash, Clapton, Hendrix, Santana the list goes on and on....

 

[Oblivious]

Definitely rock!

 

[HotRhymez]

Rap.....but some rock is good too.

 

[whitesands]

neither

 

[christian78]

I sure love how people take mainstream rap and generalize the whole genre as dirty,female-degrading, drug-dealing crap. *sigh*

 

[antiarte]

also, don't forget rap is not music. but pig squealing is.

[Tinkerbell33]

Kate Parry isn't a rapper though? lol

 

[PhilosophicalBluster]

I vote rock all the way, but this:

Its degrading and promotes violence towards women and to LEOs. Promotes drugs and generally gives out a negative vibe.

Is a generalization.
Does some rap promote negative things? Yes. Does some rock promote negative things? Also yes.
