How important is Rock in your life compared to rap?

i Luv Da Cock · 04-03-2007, 03:18 AM

i'm an early-mid 90s rock fanatic, which I only started listening to 2-3 years ago.

Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Oasis, etc.

beautiful atmospheric shit, and i can understand why at that time these bands were huge

also the emo metal stuff like Kittie and KoRn....that shit is just lovely.

the problem is, that time came and went....i honestly dont see myself 10 years in the future listening to the bands NOW like uh whoever's out there....especially those punk/emo bands like My Chemical Romance or some shit like that.

I was born in the late 80s, but let's face it, the 90s was my wonder years.

But rap is a massive influence too. Once again, early-mid 90s is my rap flavor.

I think in terms of feeling a certain emotion, i like rock better. I guess rap is always been an aggressive genre for me, the macho tough gangster that every human male has. But never a phase. rap will always be in my blood, but rock is so special too cuz everything about it is melodic. it's a tune. rap is like bass and energy, but rock is an elevator.

But I'm no rock head. Rap head, a little. Rock? no im just a fan.

every genre is important...but jazz is the originator of them all, so i can really do without any of them as long as jazz is around...

Rock is my bitch... jazz is my mistress... hip hop is my wife.

Ignorant · 04-03-2007, 02:16 PM

And the blues is my fuck friend.

Rock is my passion.

Hip-hop was a brief fling and a ‘finding myself’ period..

Many fond memories, though.

I listen to classic rock whenever im bored with hiphop...which is more and more often these days.

Man, I keep tellin you... check out some early '90s hip hop... fuck this crap that's out now.

It's important. My parents were rock fans, so I grew up listening to classic rock.
So that will be with me forever.

And Just recently about 3 years ago, after rap was deep into its horrible stage and getting worse, I stumbled across some bands that were really amazing. So I'm a pretty big rock fan now and I think I will be for the rest of my life.

Rock is just more creative and seems more like art than rap.

But I'll always keep an ear out for artists like Lupe that come along every once and a while

Rock is increasingly becoming more important to me than rap. I've found myself going back to some old 80's LL and Biz Markie, amoung the obvious Slick Ricks and 90's Redman, but in the long run, my ears are currently still far more intruded by Rock.

I loathed it growing up. I was raised on Jazz, blues and Disco. Rap was the natural progression and I rock was always kind of sidelined. Then rap got crap and I needed a new fix...

And rock is far more creative and diverse than rap. Deep down I've always conceeded that. I mean, opinions are opinions and we all have our cutters choice, but it's frankly fucking stupid to compare two generes, one that's struggling after 20 years and one that continually reinvents itself and influences the struggling one....

word @ malo

i love hiphop, always will.

ive always appreciated rock too, it was my side dish. but like oz, ive been listening to more & more classic rock these days.. its a big diamond mine of diversity and creativity.

hiphop is more lyrical and much more quotable.. but rock has less limitations and more melody
