^ I don’t care. I like rock better as do alot of people. It doesn’t matter what is chart topping, some people perfer rock, some rap.

Well yeah in the 70’s more disco songs were making the charts but that didn’t make disco the most brilliant form of music of the time. I am just saying that popularity at the moment should not be used in an argument like this.

Because music goes in cycles, right now rap may be at the top but it won’t stay there. Sooner or later people will get bored with rap and move to another genre.

nooo 80’s was poser metal. Well it wasn’t even poser metal, for glam metal is the bane of all that is actual metal.

people will get bored with rock right (no they wont) but yeah there will be another form of music to arise out of the ashes that is rap and you guys will probably hate that too.

besides rap is a million times better than rock you guys just cant hear it because your closed minded only liking white rappers yeah i said it eminem,kotton mouth kings,ICP and all that the only reason why most people listen to them is because they are white.

God are you stupid or something? White people can’t rap worth shit... I can’t explain it but we suck with the rapping, in fact I think Eminem is a digrace to our ethincy. I like Jay-Z and Ludacris more than any white rapper.

Well actually there is one none black rapper I like, Mike Shinoda, he’s pretty awesome, I love Fort Minor.

Heavy Metal falls under the category or Rock and Hip Hop under the category of Rap

Actually, I listen to rappers like Run-DMC and Tupac, I just think rock is better.

and rap being better than rock is an oppinion.

Ellie- GNR, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Van halen, Dire Straights, poser metal?

I was referring to Glam metal, which was by far the most popular form of “metal” in the 80’s. I would consider Van Halen to be in this group. Great guitarist, just too bad he had to join a band IMO. I should have been more specific because some of the greatest metal ever came out of the 80’s. It is just that it all took a back seat to hair bands.

I know but what I’m saying is that what he said was right, the songs that make the top charts are songs that white people can understand (not racist true seeing as they ae the majority in the U.S.)

but if the majority of the US population is white, wouldn’t it make sense if the top charts were songs white people liked and understood? Obviously if they are making the charts white people have to like them.

it may not seem like it but a lot of white people like rap not hardcore but mainstream stuff that they can understand

Rappers don’t sing about important issues and their lives probably aren’t as bad as they say. The songs about rapper’s lives are not even optimistic. People where I live who listen to rap have basically good lives and want to feel like their emotions of insecurity are justified. Some rock songs that are about important thins are “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who and “Free Will” by Rush. I think people who like rap just can’t wrap their minds around complicated things. Listen to Progressive rock and you will see that rock takes skill and is deep.
