Rap- Hmmmmmm... google can't find the "Rap Hall of Fame".

Wonder why...

Because we don't need a rap hall of fame to tell us how good our artists are...

Do me a favor: listen to all those links and THEN say rap isn't real music.

And, also, a rap artist himself inducted Run DMC into that hall of fame.

quite simply put, it depends on the song

some rock songs pwn rap
some rap songs pwn rock

as a general group...meh they both suck generally

rap they always talk bout thier money and self centerdness and having bitches and cars and stuff
rock its emo/crazed/WTF?/goth anti war/pro war (make up your mind) potentially gay/bi/lesbo stuff.
(generally^)

now if you get specific and go for the better songs of both groups then they tie as they both usually nail the butter zone for songs when they are good.

so...they both win and loose.

I got more if ya need proof.

Invis, most rock has a hidden message that if you know what it is, it makes the song that much better. For example, Love in an Elevator is talking about sex the whole song, pretty much.

and last resort isn't emo kill myself ?

i said generally. not the good ones.

I have not heard a rock n roll song that speaks of being emo. Except maybe the Grateful Dead back in the 70s.

it doens't have to speek of emo to be emo..-.-

Most of it isn't emo.

No, make that all of it.

obviously youve never seen my friends Ipod

Ein, I spoilered your first post.

Its just waaaaaaay too long.

80's rock ftw.

no not metalica and i no the difference tween the 2

*in the general sense, not the good songs, just all the crap in between...

What songs are we talking about exactly?

Because if you can't produce a song or two, I think you're full of taurus fecal matter.

I like all types of music, but rock is my pwnage cookie. I don't listen to rap a whole lot, but rap isn't all self-centered and all retarded like what you guys would think.
