It is about music.

Death Metal. ...is what Rap WISHES it could be.

Most other music, is what Rap is just having a childish revolt against because it wants to be music, but also wants to be its own thing. Either way, it wants to focus on words not tunes, though it wants some tunes too.

But it is too scared to go all the way. So instead it tries to just be a poet with a beat. It sometimes succeeds at this.

80/80 only because I was 81 because I put a period at the end of a sentence (or rather, topic title) because sentences should end with punctuation!

why would rap wish it could be death metal?

there have been rap/metal fusions before, and if the artists and/or fans wanted more of that, no one was stopping the music from going more in that direction.

also, it's "too scared to go all the way"? which way?

don't get the logic

what do death metal and rap have in common that you claim rap wants to be death metal?

people like different things

rap is about a steady low bass beat
deathmetal is about a really fast paced mix of things not just low bass and usually a guy screaming his lungs out while in rap people don't do that

I don't get it

And at one point death metal was my favorite genre and is probably still in my top 3. For getting anger out of your system there is nothing quite like it (or really aggressive thrash).

A little stuff from America.

And then a few Japanese things that added random crap to it.

I preferred the latter, because I prefer music to have actual tune and words are secondary to me.

Which is to say, at least Death Metal actually goes all in on putting ALL its focus on some vocials. Or making them basically the drums.

Rap is poetry combined with music while in rhythm to the beat

Comes from the slang term rapping, which basically means talking. Like when an old head says "Let me rap to you young blood"

So it's always going to sound like poetry to an extent, the better it is the the more in sync or in melody it is to the beat in the background it will be

Thats where Kanye comes in for me imo

[the rest of the comment is snipped]

I want to say I get it, but most rap just sounds the same to me. And by most, I mean almost all of it.

As others have noted, rapping basically means "talking with some drums and some minor tones behind it" to me.

About the only "rap" I have ever liked so far was, well, Libera Me From Hell. Which is half opera, half rap.

I get what TC is saying because rap nowadays is certainly very comparable to Death Metal in that it's driven more by music than lyrics. The lyrics in modern rap and death metal are very subversive and often have an implicit meaning behind them. Drill rap has a very similar vibe to death metal

Both are very style-driven based on their roots in large metropolitan cities.

I would argue the difference is the rap TC is listening to now isn't a truly original style because labels and product placement have affected it to generate revenue while death metal doesn't have the same outside influence.

yeah a lot of death metal with higher raspier screams are easier to understand, morbid angel was my first thought as well
