Then I want you to come up with a freestyle on the spot. Post it on here. I mean, if everyone and anyone can rap, there should be no problem, right?

Here's a random freestyle by Immortal Technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUBxB0mZj6M

Far from a great freestyle. I want to see you freestyle as good as him, since you think anyone can.

Until then, your ignorance makes me laugh.

LOL Ark, I would rather shove red hot pokers in my ears than to freely decide to listen to mainstream/underground/freestyle/nostyle or any other rap you can name.

Whoever posted that video on you tube thought the 3 year old could rap, not me. I simply did a search and that is what came up. I did not listen to it and it was hardly the only example.

Sounds to me like rappers are trying to come up with these "styles" so they can be special and not get lost in the multitude.

You can call my opinion ignorance if you like, but I really do not appreciate it. I suggest in future you disagree with people without resorting to name calling or insults, that behavior does not lend itself to your claim that you are a "mature 17 year old".

By the way my point of everyone can do it, does not mean that I would WANT to make any kind of rap. Although if I had the desire to I bet I could. Might not be what you would consider good but that is a matter of opinion isn't it.

Well, I am sorry he does not don a top hat and present his every reply with a gentleman's flair, but I would like to remind you regardless that you are irrelevant.

This is a really angry thread. So much angst, and pent-up frustration. Arkantos, do you listen to Linkin Park? All the time?

i listen to both rock and rap, both have good qualities to them and i can say that in the rock and rap genres each song is different and some with the same meaning, i believe neither is better than the other because its like comparing cats and dogs they are both different and you will always have people who dislike one side or like me love both sides for what they offer, if a person who singlely listens to rock of course they are going to put in stereotypes about people who listen to rap and vis versa, come one people be open minded

What about rock with rap?

Linkin Park - In The End

The Gorrilaz - Feel Good Inc.

There are probably many others, but these are my two favorite rock and rap infusions.

You just proved the ignorance of your post. I don't appreciate ignorant opinions. I'm not name calling, I'm not insulting. I'm calling an ignorant post ignorant.

You dislike rap, I like rap. We're disagreeing on that. Am I insulting you for that? No. You not liking rap is your choice, I'm not going to go and call you an idiot because you choose to not like it. I am, however, going to call you out when you say stupid, ignorant stuff like anyone can rap.

So from all this discussion, what did we learn?

Both people who listen to rock and people who listen to rap are dumb and have tunnelvision.

Love it, but that's because Gorrilaz is an alternative rock band. I like Clint Eastwood (song, of course) too.

Even funnier is how you try to defend with the argument "people like what they like" and so on, yet you deny my right to say that I think rap and techno are the lowest form of art.

if you seriously just cant even bother to look past the crap and respect the music for what it is, then i feel sorry for you.

I feel sorry for you that you listen to that. Because looking past the crap I see nothing. Compared to tons of rock songs from 1970 to 2009 I like and love, rap has maybe 5-10 songs that I like, most of them are old ones by Dr Dre and 2Pac.

I feel sorry for most of the people in this thread. You really should take time out to look over the history of music before you smash the kind of music you dont like. In reality, more often than not...you tend not to like music(or insert here) for what you dont know about it. You grow up around typically one sided and dont like the other side. If you grew up around rock, thus typically not liking rap......it could have easily been switched.

When are people going to learn about branching out and trying new things. Its one thing to get more enjoyment out of one type of music compared to others........its another thing to say things like....rap sucks cuz it only talks about getting rich/laid/and wearing crappy clothes.

I hate to disappoint all the uninformed people out there, but music has transcended through time talking about the same kinds of things. Music has been something for everyone to get away from the normalcy of life.

Lets look at how ROCKERS over the years have dressed completely different from the "normal" lifestyle........so do RAPPERS.....but so do almost ever other musicians. Lets look at how ROCKERS talk about getting sex/drinking/death/lifelosses.....OH WAIT so do RAPPERS and everyone else.
I could easily list more.


DO YOU SEE the correlations???? Music typically is the same things throughout genres, but is only expressed differently through words/looks/and beats. Music is not only an out for the fans, but for the artists too.


Its completely okay to enjoy one genre over another genre. But to call out one genre for the "same things" as what your fav genre talks about......is NAIVE!

After my rant.....i prefer rap over rock. Its just whats mainly on my ipod and whats makes me feel good. BUT the fact is.....i like all music. I listen to Hip Hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Dance, Techno, Trance, Rock, Country, Blues, Swing, Alternative, Old Rock, Jazz, and the list goes on.

Be more informed Not just about what you like, but about what you dont like before you make an uneducated post about........I dont like that cuz ...like ..gosh...like zomg.....its not what my friends listen to...like gee...skate or die...like ...its weird... oh ffs

LOL again. You can dissect your first insult and now your second insult about my "ignorant post" any way you want, it is still and insult/name calling, again I will state your behavior does not lend itself to your claim that you are a "mature 17 year old". Further if you do not like opinions posted here I suggest you ignore them or disagree with them in a civil manner. I will provide you with a example of how to do that:

Hey Tull, I do not think that "anyone can rap" is the case, being someone that listens to rap extensively I can assure you that the majority of rap on You Tube is garbage! True Rappers have alot more talent and here is a great example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUBxB0mZj6M

See Ark no need to be so nasty and insulting.

I may not agree with you in the end, but no matter what opinions are there is no reason to be angry and insulting to people about it. It is my opinion and I am entitled to it and you are also entitled to yours, but you are NOT entitled to insult people about them, which no matter how you try to portray it is exactly what you did to me.

Rock still wins!

Calling an ignorant post ignorant is not insulting in any way. If you get emotionally hurt when someone calls you out on that, then I suggest that you stop making ignorant posts. The only thing we disagree on is that you dislike rap, and I like rap. I really don't care about the other ignorant opinions, I'm just pointing out that they are ignorant. I'm not angry, and again, nowhere in this thread have I insulted you or anyone. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but again, when someone posts an ignorant opinion, I'm going to call them out on that. I'm not calling you a retard for having an ignorant opinion, I'm not calling you a moron for having an ignorant opinion, I'm saying your ignorant opinion is ignorant. If you dislike rap, that's perfectly fine with me. I don't expect everyone in the world to like what I like. Just stop with the ignorant opinions.
