Apparently you didn't read my post in which I (factually) stated that rock and rap come from the
same musical origin (
the Blues). Secondly, a lot of rock musicians collaborate with rap musicians. I guess then musicians such as David Bowie, Sting, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Queen and Prince, just to name a few (I might add), have terrible music. Third, many of today's rock songs sample riffs and beats derived from rap music (a two-way street). Fourth, "Hip-Hop" is a culture and not a style of song genre.
On a separate note: So much for a great debate. I guess people of "rock" are not so hard after all (how's the generalization for ya).
It's ok to
bait someone into a discussion but make sure that next time you bring the hook, line and sinker. :knockedout:
