Haha, there were like 83495389 :angry: similies after he said that. :lol:

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]Oh of course.

But don't say it in a R&M forum and think you are going to get away with it though...[/QUOTE]

But you guys are supposed to be cool and less touchy and stuff. :upset:

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]The easy way out would be to point out the humours irony of this statement. And you know what? I will.

And it's a Rock and Metal forum. I like Rock. I don't have to like Metal.[/QUOTE]

I never said you have to like metal. :confused:

I'm saying that I used to like rap, but I don't anymore... No hidden messages or meanings here. No hate either.

Well, my point is that to me, a lot of metal sounds the same, so it's funny when a metal fan says that rap sounds the same. And of course, a metal fan can say the same thing about me.

And the second comment I made was in response to the folks saying "Don't say that in R&M" and "Get out" and such.

Not when it comes to a point of insulting my beloved genre for a cheap shot. :thumb:

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]Not when it comes to a point of insulting my beloved genre for a cheap shot. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

My initial comment had no insult about it; it actually did not express any of my feelings on metal, other than the fact that I don't like it as much as I like rap (which is my favorite genre).

And please, I have to deal with 99% of MX (and a lot of dumba[size=2]sses[/size] in real life) saying "rap takes no skill" and "rap is 'crap' without the 'c'" so it's not like I don't have to deal with my "beloved genre" is insulted.

Lots of people say it sounds the same, and I don't see it. It's probably the same way with rap though.

I used to listen to tons of rap, but now I only listen to a few songs here and there. Mainly because my friends listen to a it a lot.

I don't know what's wrong with liking rap if you love metal. And I play the stereotype of a "bad" rap fan by being a white Jew from the suburbs, so I'm not supposed to "like rap", but liking metal is A-ok.

If you don't like a certain genre, fine, but don't bash the f[size=2]u[/size]ck out of it by being all "OMGZ RAP IS CRAP MAN FUKKIN LIL JON YEEEYAH" or "FUKK METUL ITS ALLL SKREAMING AMIRITE."

It's f[size=2]u[/size]cking retarted.

Well, I have to deal with people every day that say metal is no talent hacks that just bash on the drums and guitar and scream. So ya, goes with every thing in life for the most part.

And when the only insult they can come up with is "rap is crap with out the c" is some one to not even bother with.

I've given metal an honest chance, and it bores the hell out of me.

Fine by me.

At least you gave it a shot.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]I've given metal an honest chance, and it bores the hell out of me.[/QUOTE]


Just curious, what metal have you heard?

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]Just curious, what metal have you heard?[/QUOTE]

Metallica
Slayer
Megadeth
Anthrax
Pantera
Opeth
Symphony-X
Dream Theater/Liquid Tension Experiment
Morbid Angel
Mayhem
Children of Bodom
Iced Earth
Emperor

And AH: The Black-Eyed Peas? Come on, they are [i]abysmal[/i].

EDIT: As is Aesop Rock, of course.

[QUOTE=AntiHero3314]Rap is an iffy genre for me, I lean towards hip-hop moreso than rap.

Being white, it wouldn't be in my best interest to have the word "******" blasting in your car while driving through Detroit and/or Grand Rapids. I really enjoy hip hop that focuses on its beats and lyrics that do not have to deal with the word "******" as the apex of their music, and don't tell me that there are artists who don't try to use that term liberally. It's a calloused name to call a black person, and you're asking to get shot in a drive-by if you're a whiteboy bumping that music in your ride.

I also tend to listen to numerous white hip hop artists, not because I relate to their words, but because they don't speak volumes on "ice," champagne, loose women, fast cars, "bling-bling," or ebonics. That doesn't appeal to me. I find that form of music degrading and torturous.

Atmosphere, Beastie Boys, Rehab, Aesop Rock, Kanye West, Jurassic 5, Black-Eyed Peas, OutKast, and Cypress Hill are artists I regularly listen to.

I tend to stay away from Ludacris, Jay-Z, Mystikal, Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, Eminem, 50 Cent, Terror Squad, etc. because I don't appreciate them either because they aren't good linguists or I just don't enjoy the music.

That's all.[/QUOTE]

Well, what's the difference between rap and hip hop? I thought rap was the culture/lifestyle, and rap was the music.

I tend to listen to the first list and stay away from the second, too.

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]Just curious, what metal have you heard?[/QUOTE]

I was just going to ask that.

I say we play the "you send good rap, we send good metal" game featuring yousendit.

EDIT: nevermind, you've heard more than I thought.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]Anthrax[/QUOTE]
Piddles.

Well at least you're not mindlessly bashing the hell out of them.

Also, Jay-Z is great.

LTE is more like jazzy rock/metal influenced insturmental work.

I find it hard to believe, out of all those bands you have listed, that they bored the hell out of you?

Just weird.

I'm down. I have both :p

[QUOTE=AntiHero3314]"Let's Get It Started" was the NBA Finals theme song, and the Pistons won with that song, so that's where my bias partly comes from, although I don't mind their other albums.[/QUOTE]
:upset:

/me listens to Eminem, Deltron 3030, Wu-tang Clan...that's about it.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I'm down. I have both :p[/QUOTE]

Heh.

I have no problem with giving rap another listen.

No, they really are awful. gg.

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]Eminem[/QUOTE]
He seems to be the guy no one hates, whether they like mainstream or underground.

I'm downloading a song that all you metalheads would like. Give me a few minutes.

I actually kind of liked LTE, but that's it. And I guess they aren't metal, oh well.

My number one complaint with metal is that it comes across to me as very cold, joyless music.
