Unlike Metal music which is garbage, look at Slipknot, all they do is use swear words to appeal little rebellious 12 year old kids.
Ur kidding, right?
Find me a recent rap song that doesnt talk about how much money, bitches, or cars they have at their house and I'll be a monkey's uncle....
Metal may talk about the same stupid shit but at least I don't understand most of it :p I can't stand rap/ hip-hop these days....
Some Jurassic 5? Dunno what is considered recent rap (as I also listen to 70's and 80's rock), but this came out in 2006. Music video kinda a mockery of the Bush era without going crazy.
Just a sweet song about their history in rap
This one actually is point out state of modern rap as being nothing more than " money, bitches, or cars"/ gang posers.

It is so stupid people take music so seriously lately, just listen what ever you want and don't be bothered by the music you don't like little kids,
Sorry for contributing to the thread, call me crazy... You came in here just trying to derail and insult Americans... I don't listen to rap because I hate the lyrics and overall lack of talent that it takes to create a "popular" rap song. I do listen to metal because I loved the sound of an electric guitar and the fast pace. So please, european, go back to whatever hole you crawled out of and quit insulting americans for talking about the exact topic that a thread was created for....
I am not dumb I know most Americans aren't like you, but you really fit the stereotype. Screaming the loudest with your opinion as a "good" arguement. And saying rap doesn't take skill, is just as dumb as saying that all metalbands are satanic. You know better, because you know the bands. But like for instance Mike Skinner from the streets is also really good in his genre. If you like metal it is fine but don't act like you are listening to the superior music.
And by the way music doesn't have a linear line with how good it is and skillness. Some people listen pure for enjoyment, other for the technical compositions. Edit (I listen to metal to btw, so don't put me on the hip hop side ore something)

Metal isn't the only kind of music in the world.
Hip Hop and Rap aren't genres based on technical musicianship like some of metal is.
And "talking into a microphone" can be much more of an art than you give it credit for.
By the way - for an elitist metalhead, you have terrible taste in metal. Cannibal Corpse? Korn? System of a Down? lol?

wow u guys shun mainstream music u must be so kool!111!!
(P.S- I have a lot of respect for rappers like k-os or lupe fiasco, but there are plenty of "mainstream" rappers who talk about stuff besides "bitches, drugs, and whores")
Maybe it begins with really good songs from a genre to topple another.. BUT, Mainstream seems to be getting worse imo but doesnt mean you should hate it all..

99+% of everything is crap; 90% of all published professional work is also crap.
I like to think every creative genre has its gems. But styles that aggressively restrict their content (such as romance novels or screamo or dating sims) make that hope difficult.
I mainly listen to hiphop these days and alot of other sample based music.. metal doesnt really appeal to me. There was a time when I liked to listen to heavy music, be it rap or metal.. but now I pretty much only listen to more chill music. Which means I dont like most of the metal genre.. altho there is some I really like such eg some of opeths stuff.
Technical musicianship is great and all in both rap and metal but in the end its all about whatever provides boyancy for your vessel yo.
This is the kind of metal that everyone needs to hear whether you're a metalhead or not. That being said I'm not anti-hip/hop I just find myself much more interested in the Djent side of metal.
Where's all the love for traditional rock? I listen to different kinds, from softer rock like Billy Joel to harder stuff like Cold Chisel or Meat Loaf. I also listen to some glam rockers like David Bowie. I love it & the guys that play rock have far more skill than those who just use ridiculously distorted guitars and screaming into a microphone. Why did it grow so much more popular than rock, not to mention every other kind of music?
