Rap is better than metal. It's not even a contest. Rap has and always will be more popular.
Both are not music.
>>122439907nobody ever accused normalfags of having any taste
>>122439907It's not that rap is more popular, it's that it's more real, increasingly more relatable to people around the world, and actually requires more heart and skill than playing a guitar.
>>122439907Two genres where every song sounds the same, who cares if one sounds better than the other?
Metal isn't supposed to be popular. If it was popular, I wouldn't want to listen to it.
>>122439907popular isn't equal to good
>>122441020usually does actually
>>122440366well both can be relatable and real. Black sabbath is a good example as they have been relatable to the working class people. Just different ways of expression
>>122440366>and actually requires more heart and skill than playing a guitar.being black doesn't take heart, and mumbling certainly doesn't take skill.
>genre that has gone nowhere in 25 years vs>genre that has gone nowhere in 10 years
>>122439907Metal was more popular in the 80s
>>122442679name a metal song lyrically good as thishttps://youtu.be/xjbRampe4qE

Metal is good music for sampling to find ways to make better rap, but within itself very uninspired music
>>122445508>stealing shit to further my "art"melanated post
>>122445534That’s the only time you gonna hear dat shit on the radio no way, they should be grateful to have they shit played for an audience
>>122445550and an ooga booga to you too
>>122445557baka bitch ass white boy
>>122445508All music exists so that it can be sampled for rap.
>>122445921yet with that, rap fails to be music itself. irony hurts.
>>122445968Rap is the logical conclusion of music. Why would I want to hear a white boy sing on heavy metal guitar when I can have Dave Free throw some 808s and Kendrick Lamar break down Pulitzer Prize winning rhyme schemes
>>122446008never mind, you're white larping as black. lol.
>>122446016I never implied I was black, but I accept your concession.
>>122445118Your Treachery Will Die With You - Dying Fetus
>>122446027you're a wigger, which is just as bad and even more embarrassing
>>122446061At some point you’ll have to stop inaccurately guessing my race and address my argument at its core, otherwise I’ll remain just as entertained as to whichever projecting insults you can levy against me because people don’t like your shitty music.
>>122446153yeah, stealing shit and whatnot, that's cool. also, metal isn't meant to be liked by the masses, so you already have no idea what you're even talking about. "metal" liked by normalfags is worthless ersatz garbage fixated solely on aesthetic.
>>122446192>achksually metal isn’t meant to be liked by the massesBwhahahahah it’s time to grow up and listen to rap anon, you’re just holding on to a long bygone hipster aesthetic
Rap isnt music. Metal is.
>>122439907Metal requires actual talent and skill to make while anyone can talk fast over a stolen beat
>>122446209>grow up>listen to rapmy sides
>>122446236Imagine actually thinking metal takes any skill compared to rap.

>>122446272as long as yout don't pop a cap in my ass nawimsayinnnnnnnn
I have a lot of empathy for hiphop rn. When I look at its state it reminds me a lot of metal right before it almost died for good. The same feel of a once rebellious genre been put through the corpo grinder where stale shit gets marketed as the next big thing that actually has no traction beside in the PR texts trying to astroturd its soullessness . Sadly, in modern times, this corpo zombi state can and has gone on much longer than back then when it happened to metal. I hope hiphop fags can find the same undying autism to keep their genre on life support till it heals. Will be much harder for you guys tho. Late stage "popularity" is a terminal disease.
no one in this thread can accurately define what music is
>>122439907>Rap has and always will be more popular.lol the day i see a rapper play in front of 2 million people get back to me
>>122446742That's easy.Music is stuff I like. Not music is stuff you like. We can't like the same things.
>>122439907both not music
>>122449404music.
poop is more popular than pee
>>122446766What is this image? A concert with 2 million people in attendance? If so what fuckin' concert is that? o_0
>>122450655Metallica, Moscow 1991, 1.6 million attendance.
only genre of metal that worth a listen is thrash and relatedfuck you all niggas listening music about dragons, mirrors in the castle and shit
>>122439907
>>122450822Clearly you aren’t a fan of pic related. Just how gay are you, anon?
Why would you compare not music to music, let alone say it's better?
>>122451004I know, right? How can anyone think metal is music or better than rap.
>>122446766For real. Rap, specifically in the modern day is atrocious and is for NPC ghetto white trash and/or degenerate blacks. Just what it is.
>>122439907Yeah, but metal doesn't have a bunch of rap people in it, so it wins.
>>122446008>Pulitzer Prizemuh good goy award lmfao
Eminem once performed in front of 80k people and I believe that was the all-time record for a rap show.
>>122444743Because half the “metal” bands were putting out glam ballads
>>122445118That's a weak ass lyrical rap song. And the same could be leveled against your claim in a different direction. Name a rap song that's more musically complex than any rock artist.. you can't be rappers aren't musicians. They sample all their work.
>>122446008>Dave free>kendrick lamar >pullitzer prize winning rhyme schemesYou need to go back faggot
>>122445550>they shit
>>122439907geeIwonderwhocouldbebehindthispost.jpg>>122439930Metal is one of the few remaining genres that has any kind of traditional musicality.
>>122454614>Metal is one of the few remaining genres that has any kind of traditional musicality.lol
>>122446008Good bait.
both are niggerlicious genres with an even more niggerlicious community
>>122439907Apples and Orangesfuck off dudet. big fan of both
>>122439907Popularity =/= talent. It’s amazing we still are having this argument at this point in time. Plus metal predated rap.
>>122441278No, it doesn’t.
>>122445568Speak English >>122446016The worst kind of “people”
>>122446252Okay, buy a guitar and shred for us
I prefer punk tbqhwyl
Both are music.
>>122454623You wouldn't know "traditional musicality" if it bit you on your faggot ass.
What about rap metal?
I just think from a lyrical perspective metal has a hard time competing with rap, you’re not going to find many metal songs written as intelligently or as much humor as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSLlIPmBJaUfor instance, obviously rappers resonate more with people who haven’t watched lord of the rings recently
>>122441278so taylor swift is good? anon, please blow your brains out, thx x
>>122439907Two most obnoxious fans online
>>122440366>more skill than playing a guitardifferent kind of skill but I dont think tech death metal comes anywhere close to nigger mumble and I'm a fan of hip hop. Shit like this takes forever to nail properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZfoooMROVE
>>122440366>increasingly more relatableThat's because you're all becoming poor illiterate mutts.
>>122455883what about classical guys?
>>122439907silly comparisonmetal is a subgenre of rock
>>122455533Worst of both worlds
