Lots of metal Heads feel that this genre has
nothing to offer, that it is unintelegent and
without feeling, that it's all about smokin'
joints and gang wars.
But others may realize that rap and metal
arn't so different after all. Just look at
How Public Enemy Did a Song with Anthrax,
It's simple, both metal and rap can tend to have
rebelious and politically themed music. (punk to actually)
They both can indicate Drug problems and spiritual
Awareness.
For me, Rap is my favorite Genre of Music second
only to metal (Of Course!) Because I feel, well......
Pretty much the same as how I explained on the previous
Paragraph. It's intelligent, Political and for the most part
rebellious music. It also sounds good to me, If it's a good
M.C., the words flow like water with the Beat in the background.
So, what about you, is it stupid to you?
Do just not like the Sound?
Or maby you Love the sound,
and hey, do you relate to it?
Go Forth and Tell me!

EDIT: If you're going to critisize this genre of Music in any Negative way, Please make sure you critisize it with some inteligence. Statements like "The Only Good Rapper is a dead one,"

Written by Lucas on 10.01.2010 at 14:38 Oh I know Red Bandana, that's a good one. I would say Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", Wu Tang Clan's "Enter the 36 chambers of Death", Ice Cube's "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" Raekwon's "Only Built for Cuban Linx."

I downloaded Swollen Members' discography a short while ago based on their feature on an Infected Mushroom song (Artillery off Vicious Delicious). Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to hearing a lot of it yet, but I've really been liking what I heard so far

I really like Cypress Hill, Public Enemy and Beastie Boys but after that it stops for me. I really dislike rappers like 50 cent. What's up with him? He sounds so lame! With lame I mean that he just talks at a normal pace into the mic. Dudes like Cypress Hill rap at a 1000 miles an hour and are semi-forgotten while this guy just talks and sells millions of records...
---- What a tackastrophe!

I really like hilltop hills. i dont know why, i just do. also cLOUDDEAD. Not really traditional, the most bizarre hip hop band i've ever heard. elements of indie and art rock, but its still mainly rap.

Written by Bas on 17.03.2010 at 17:31 Yeah Swollen Members are awesome, I've got a compilation of 'em that came with Forum's True Life (Snowboard Movie) like 9 years ago and it kicked ass... I've not heard a lot of their newer stuff but it's good clean english-canadian hip-hop from Vancouver B.C. I also love Cypress Hill they are geniuses, their beats and lyrics are amazing... Puffing a large doobie is really cool when you listen to 'em.

Written by Jan on 18.10.2009 at 09:33 Go listen to The Roots, it's a Philadelphia band with true musicians, a very talented drummer and good jazz-rock guitar parts and, of course awesome bass and keyboards . These are rap's finest when it comes to the music. Also the lyrics are very good and poetic.

Account deleted Written by Arian Totalis on 16.03.2010 at 03:04 Late reply, I know. But thanks for all the recommendations. They really helped a lot. By the way, do you like Tech N9ne? I found his stuff to be pretty good. Also, a friend of mine showed me Jay Electronica, who is also very good.

Written by Malevolent-Jim on 01.07.2010 at 20:10 As a lone metal listener I learned one thing and thats searching deep underground for interesting bands without any recommendations. If you like Jedi and GZA I have a few suggestions for you and anyone interested. Jus Allah - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLRpr5nj16w what a king of the mic he truly is. "Im the difference between boxing and wrestling" sums it up. Mr Lif - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDYBX5VLj_E He's a real sledge hammer for the conservatives that claim that rap has bad lyrics. One of the best writers for me to date. Warcloud aka Holocaust - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_WVom-CHdk One of the Wu Tang Clan affiliates. I like him because he's just sinister. "Wu Tang Clan, warriors on the hillside!" Virtuoso - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o3_KfcaIJE Final proof that white boys can rap also. Cant even compare him to Eminem. The Devil'z Rejects - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LUlO4BG7Wo While I might not like Bomshot this track is titanic. Please do share opinions, Im curious.

I hadn't realized this until I went looking for some information on his Jazzmatazz albums, but the talented MC Guru passed away in April. RIP. Link.

Sad to say, some rap is better than certain genres of Metal.

Written by Zombie on 14.07.2010 at 02:44 Why is that "sad to say"? Is it not conceivable that metal isn't the undisputed "number one" genre in music?

In a metal forum full of metal enthusiasts, when u mention that a kind of music that is 'most of the time' pointless is better than some metal (keeping an open mind about it by saying 'most of the time' not 'll of the time' ) ... so, you have to pity the shitty condition metal has reached to be even lower than one of the lowest kinds of music !(not all metal of course. i'm talkin about commercial, poser, crap of course)

Written by Zombie on 14.07.2010 at 19:41 If Tupac and Eminem were the end all of Rap and Hip Hop then you might have a point, but there are many groups out there that were/are better than either of these two talented MCs. It's been said before, but to say that all Rap and Hip Hop is money, women, drugs, gangsters, etc. is to say similar ignorant statements about Metal. There is all kinds of good stuff out there. You actually just have to take the time to look past the commercial contemporary crap to find the better stuff. It's the same as any genre.

Written by [user id=28526] on 21.07.2010 at 15:46 Yeah that was "How I Could Just Kill A Man". The whole Renegade album was a remake. That's Bone Thugs new single, 'Rebirth'. Please go listen to it. For me it's release of the year.
