You are not that much smarter or better than people. honestly you wont hear much better from mainstream metal you'll hear on the radio either. theres a big difference between metallicas And Justice for All... or Megadeths Holy Wars and Disturbeds Down with the Sickness, or Linkin Parks Crawling. | ||

I also listen to some nu metal bands like KoRn or System of a Down. I love it & the guys that play metal have far more skill than those who just use computer generated noises and talking into a microphone. Why did it grow so much more popular than metal, not to mention every other kind of music? True rap isn't just computer generated sounds and talking into a microphone. Also, rap didn't grow so much more popular than metal and every other kind of music (if you're talking about lil wayne piece of shit, it did. And I need its reason as well). True rap is unique. Just unique. No stolen rhymes, no stolen words, no stolen name, who you are and what you say belongs to you and you only and only few people can really rap: 2Pac Nas Big L Guru (from Gang Starr) You see, list doesn't consist of too many people. People like Jay Z, 50 cent, lil wayne are just wannabe rappers and that's it. | ||

It's especially true with mainstream hip hop artists. Artists such as Eminem, Drake, Lil' Wayne, etc. aren't simply products of media hype. They are doing what they are doing because they have gigantic personalities, strong opinions, and the skills to communicate their opinions. The same could be said about pop artists such as Katy Perry. One might say pop's all about mixing up catchy tunes, but you have to be ahead of the trend to even know what's catchy in the first place. No disrespect to technical music and the talent poured into them. However, I feel that music is first and foremost a medium of communication, and the masses latch onto rappers because they're there experimenting with language, playing with words, and communicating themselves through those words. | ||

I don't get why everyone likes him now when all he does is yell and sing. Totally agree.. He is so horrible now. He used to make good music  Also old hiphop used to be so so so super awesome epmd, beatnutz, biz markie, dj honda etc pp. I think NAS is 100% right hip hop died when he prognosed it.. The new stuff is just very very horrible. Some exceptions like the one guy from outkast still provides some quality stuff, i also like some of the new Kayne West stuff. But pretty much stopped listening to the new hip hop for the last 5+ years | ||

I'm not attacking you, but there are a lot of people that think ALL RAP is like you described and that's the IDEA I'm attacking and not you personally. No that assumption does not follow. Not trying to get into semantics here but there is a difference between "listen to" and "hear". They play it on the radio, TV so that is what I caught and heard. | ||

If it doesn't have these things, I'm OK with it: Auto tune You'd be hard pressed to find any musician that doesn't at least use some amount of auto-tune these days. Using auto-tune speeds up the production process saving artists literally thousands of dollars. Why spend 20 takes getting the song perfect when you could do it 3 times, auto-tune and get the same result? Time is money etc. It's not the most pleasant thought, but that's how the industry is evolving I guess. Just be glad that not everyone is doing it live yet. There is a secret to making popular music. All you have to do is make the listener feel good about themselves. Anyone saying otherwise is kidding themselves and living in fantasyland. To be honest I think the secret is just accessibility, ie catchy handles. Pop songs are just more intricate versions of the advertisement dittys you hear on TV/the radio. Their message is delivered through their catchiness, not the other way around. | ||

Now rap music is different kind of crap so they listen to it until they realize it's crap too. I call it the natural flow of crap in the music world.

I love metal, but I only listen symphonic, folk and power metal. Folk metal will be grunted in, but I think it blends good with the music (bands like eluveitie). I hate black and death metal, it's so boring. I hate rap and hiphop. It's just boring, not enough variations and no melody. I know that that is very generalising, but it's the only hiphop/rap I've heard. Next to that, I don't like black people who sing, it's not because they're black, it's just that I don't like their voices. (I see rap as 'singing' too though). Metal is quite popular with certain groups, you just don't here it on the radio since people who listen metal don't listen to the radio because there's no metal on the radio. | ||
