Music would be boring without rap. Rock is the only genre that held a candle but it died to early

Rap is a lot more trash than other genres, sure, but music just isn't as good nowadays. Pop is mostly garbage. Country is no longer country. Rock is still decent, but a lot of it is starting to become pop.

Now that I'm going through it, rap is probably better than most other genres right now.

Man! I hate today's rap music, but I enjoyed listening to some of them, most from the 80's and early 90's. but not today. Nowadays, guess all the lyrics within each rap song has to have the "n-word" sung over and over. It does nothing but to promote violence in every way.

Those artists from the 80's have more talent than they have today.

they said the N-Word in both the 80's and 90's. Hell i would say rap was worse in terms of what they said then it is today. It was way more vulgar

Rap hasn't been good in years. Every now and then something good comes out, but it's usually combined with other vocals. Good pure rap is hard to come by these days.

Old school rap from the 1990s and early 2000's is still the best.

I feel like objectively, rap's requirement to weave clever wordplay and create imagery while coinciding with a beat makes it at least more difficult and complex than the overlooked pop.

Pop songs are literally "love" the emotion or "love" the sex. Every song. Two topics only.

Rap is more diverse I feel, in general, to the point where you can't really not find something or someone you like.

Rap can have all the clever wordplay and whatnot but that doesn't make it musically better.

Like I said, I'm looking for good melodies. (In the case of rap that would mean a good flow but instrumentals matter, too.)

Lemme give some examples of good vs boring melodies in rap and metal so you can get a better idea of what I mean.

Good rap song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lvaIu0Wj_E


So lyrics won't be counting towards quality. Just sound. For example, even if I didn't know English, I'd still find this song appealing because of the interesting flow and the instrumental is nuanced like that of a good song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvTRZJ-4EyI


This one sounds just like he's talking. He may rely on lyrics for appeal but musically it's not good.

Good metal song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFKdFYKzGEA


The instrumentation in this is super catchy.

Bad metal song (not like these are hard to find lol):

Dragonland - Calling My Name

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJYGJL7zXA


This one is just kinda all over the place.

On rap I have and I tried a lot of things. Found out that there are only a handful of rappers that sound good. The problem is that most people seem to be fixated on "muh clever wordplay and lyrics xd" than actual sound so there's not a lot of rappers that focus on that.

I used to. I mean, I've always been a metal head/punk goth. I used to not listen to anything except rock and metal.

Theeeeeeen I joined the Army. And everyone's musical tastes suddenly became my tastes. Now I pretty much like every genre. I'm still a metal headed punk, but I'll blare some Three 6 Mafia, Biggy or Dre just as loud as Dio or Sabbath.
