What do you like the most? rock owns

[Lprince]

Rage against the machine and the Beastie Boys- Rap and Rock work well together.
Beastie Boys- Quite a few songs with rock backing music.
Rage against the machine- Sort of rock music just that the vocals aren't singing, they're rapping instead.

RAtM isn't really rap at all. He's screaming, not rapping. Rap would be more of a constant beat, with no chorus, and rapping (Obviously).

Anyways, rock came before rap, and I agree with older is better. So my answer is rock. I'm against most rap, I like alot of the old school stuff (Even though some consider it hiphop, it's still cool).

You read my mind!!! Wow

Is Funk considered rock? Like Red Hot Chili Peppers or Incubus.

i like rock, but i like some old school rap, aka beastie boys and run dmc. i also like a little bit of jay z [just a little bit (and not only encore )]

so i cannot vote ...if i had to, it would be rock, but i dont have to

[Fabolous]

rap pwns you rockies

[Phorgot]

rock's the best

when ever u hear a rock song, its always different, rap just gets an old song and duz a rap remix

[serpharimon]

Seriously, the rap is trying to be like the rock songs. I heard a remake of an Ozzy song, being played as rap the other day. Freakin' Eminem taking that old rock song also, and redoing it. I'm sorry, but you can't mix any type of metal, with rap. Unless it's psychocore, that's different.

EDIT: 2200 post, w00t.

What about the verses? Not saying it's rap music, but talking or screaming to a rythem has always been rap to me. Except nower days rap does sometimes have choruses where the band usually sing. I like the old hip-pop where it was rapping but with the sort of extended notes and tone that would be assosiated with singing at the same time.

Why are you all so botherd about genres anyway?
It's all music and you either like it or you don't. Like those people who you see tapping their feet to something and then you ask them if they like it and they say no because I listen to another style - What's the point, a genre isn't music itself, just classifying it. So it doesn't matter if you start trying to mix different types of music because it's all still music. And listening to lots of types of music broadens your mind....

So who cares, I like mostly Rock, but I like rap too, and I like them mixed, not to mention other 'Styles'.

Ratm
Chronic Future
LP
Beastie
Limp Bizket

R all somehow rap/rock

[Atilla]

in my opinion, Faith No More did the best mix of rock and rap/hip hop. the only problem is that they never get any credit anymore, they were big in the late 80s/early 90s.

[Phieta]

Rock.

It's not that I don't like rap; just that rock tends to be more pleasing to the ears, and there's too much "crap rap" out there. Though, rock + rap =

[Bmatt]

well, based upon all the millions of rap artists out there, all of which *self-Censored*.... im going to have to say Rock. Besides, Queen (with Freddy Mercury) tip the scales so much in rocks favour, its hard to see a hope for rap.

[Lprince]

It's very strange but if you listen to Fire by Jimi Hendrix it's on the very begining of the path to rap...Just a thought. Anyone else agree?
If so then definatly Rap-Rock!
