Why do some people who prefer rock music, find it necessary to hate on rap music!


Question: Why do some people who prefer rock music, find it necessary to hate on rap music!?!?
and call it crap!?

I have yet to see a rap listener to hate on rock, and flame these forums, but I guess I can understand where they're coming from, most mainstream rap these days is total crap, e!.g!. Soulja Man, 50 Cent, and Lil Wayne!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Well at least you said 'some', rather than 'all' as the people who come into this section to ask this exact question usually do!.

I have seen many Rap listeners 'hate on' Rock!.
It doesn't bother me too much, people are entitled to like or dislike whatever they want!. The problem I have is the people that ignorantly criticise music, having listened to one or two songs!. "Rock is just screaming and satanic" is something that has been said here a number of times!. Anyone with even a small amount of knowledge of the genre will know that that statement is incorrect!.
The same has been said about Rap!. "Rap is just about hoes and money" anyone with a small amount of knowledge of the genre will know that that is incorrect also!.

We're in the same boat really!. The mainstream music on both sides is terrible!. As you said, there is Soulja Boy and 50 cent on the Rap end, and rubbish like Fall Out Boy and MCR on ours!.

The problem that I think both the Rap and Rock fans have when criticising the other is that they don't dig deeper into music - past the mainstream and into the more underground music!. That's where the good stuff is, I think!.
The music industry today is so much about conformity and being a package - that very few people or bands with actually talent get the recognition they deserve!.

Of course, people may still dislike a genre, and that's fine!. You can't expect everyone to enjoy every single type of music - within Rock alone there is a great deal of variation, I don't even like all of the subgenres within it!.
But ignorantly criticising something just makes the person look imbecilic!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They're haters that's why!
And because they think that listening to rap/pop/dance etc is kind of a betrayal !.!.!.
I've had a rocker bf and he used to get really angry when he heard a rap song or saw me dressed in coloured clothes!.!.!. I know not all of them do this but idk I kinda freaked out!.
And last but not least, they think that everyone except rockers is preppy!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

naw i don't hate rap!. i hate mainstream rap like soulja boy!. i DO recognize that some rap is good sometimes as i remember listening to an Anthrax combination with Public Enemy and I really liked it!. and tho rap listeners don't flame rock on this forum, in real life they're always calling it crappy and emo music!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

hey man i like old school rap not this pop rap crap thats around today!.!.!.on my ipod under rap i have tupac, biggie smalls, easy-e, bone thugs & harmony (early 90"s) public enemy, N!.W!.A, snoop dogg, Run DMC, i just can't stand that crap today in my opinion its worthless in 10 years todays hip hop stars will be WHO!?!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't like most new rap for the same reason I don't like most new rock: it sucks!.

Take it back to Dilated Peoples, Wu-Tang, The Pharcyde, and I'm in!. The Roots new one is pretty damn good!.

But Lil' Wayne and Soulja Boy!? just crap turned out to make money off of 14 year old kids!. Britney Spears with gold teeth and dreds!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

d0nT di$$ $0uLja b()i,

lol im just kidding! soulja boy is ghetto!.

i think its living up to like the "status quo" of music!. Like it's impossible to find an african american in country, its boundries simply putting it, which is how a lotta things are, and its sad!.

i prefer rap and rock!. lil wayne is annoying, 50 cent got super annoying, soulja boy WTF is that!!?! but some rock isnt that great either!.

music is just my life, i love all kinds :]Www@Enter-QA@Com

i like rock for instance, my point of view is different from those who like rap!. for me rock lyrics have more meanings in it than the lyrics in rap!. e!.g!. like the ones u mentioned up there!.!.!.!.soulja man, 50 cent, lil wayne, etc!.!.!.!.
even if the rock vocalists tend to 'growl' when u get wat they're presenting it's all a great perception in the genre!. makes rock even all the cooler than it already is!.!.!.!.=]Www@Enter-QA@Com

because most of it is crap!. personally i listen to a lotta rock and metal along with a lot of other types of music and i don't like rap for a couple of reasons!.

mostly because i think it's the spread of ignorance, just listen to the lyricsWww@Enter-QA@Com

Everyone has their own taste in music!. I for one don't like the hip-hop genre, but I don't see the sense in acting immature and insulting someone else's taste to prove your point!.

We all have opinions, we need to learn to live with that and accept it!.

:)Www@Enter-QA@Com

You are going to hate me for this but isn't the phrase
"rap music" an oxymoron- (kinda like sayin' jumbo shrimp)!. The two words just dont' go together!. But I hear you!.!.!.!.we do get a little rude when it comes to our opinions on rap!. Sorry!Www@Enter-QA@Com

same reason some people who like rap dont like rock
i call it musical racism
me!.!.i love music
it dont matter what it is!.!.if it sounds good to me!.!.i like it
=)
although i do prefer rock
weird cuz i grew up in the hoodWww@Enter-QA@Com

hi

i thoroughly enjoy rap, hip-hop, rock, pop!. i just love all types of music!. it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, rap or rock it just doesn't matter!.

hope this was a good insightWww@Enter-QA@Com

I guess in my case it's just because of the instant headache rap gives me!. but don't feel singled out jazz, reggae, and especially country does it too!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Because rap is not music!. What talent does it take to sample other peoples music and put your own words to it!? None!. An auctioneer does exactly the same thing as a rapper!? Is that considered good music!? no!Www@Enter-QA@Com

theres no reason for ne one to critisiz your type of music but rock generated for something and rap was just there all the sudden i get generated from poetry idk!.!.!.country generated into southern rock that into rock rock to heavy metal!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Its Soulja Boy Just To let u know Just Kidding!. I love rap and rock!. Especially when they mix together like RATM, Flobots, 311 and Etc!. I love bothWww@Enter-QA@Com

because i find rap boring!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i like pop and rock, and don't mind some good rap!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i know why, cuz those haters are all WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Some rap is kool, but most of the new stuff is lame, like all the dance songs!.
Most people feel that raps lyrics are degrading towards women and music it self!. Although I personally perfer Country because I tend to relate more to their songs!.
But I listen to rock and rap too!. Both to me are no better or worse then the other genre!.
Rock has it's hardcore metal like Slipknot, their lyrics are pretty horrible!. And as for the same with rap with their artists like Soulja Boy!.

Edit:As for Brotha Lynch and X-Raided that, that dude above talked about, they are worse then these lame rappers now, You call lyrics talking about eating baby guts talent!? They are a shame to rap!. The Underground rap like Brotha Lynch and his wife Zig Zag, X-Raided etc etc, is the type of rap people find degrading!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

95% of rap listeners i know hate rock they just dont post it on forums!. the reason you only see rockers hating on rap listeners could be to down to the fact that computer nerd sterotypes (dont have a go im a geek at heart!!) that listen to rock these days are supposedly more likely to use the forums more!. However, people have been criticising rival genres for years (mods and rockers in 6o's/70's britian) - its just part of the culture to listen to one type of music and hate another!. However, i listen to nearly everything like metal,jazz,rock,blues,hip-hop,techno,dan!.!.!. drum and bass,grime - (british rap for those who dont know) etc!.!. and i dont like to call any music crap because its all down to preference and somewhere out there someone likes adam ant !.!.!.!.!.!. :PWww@Enter-QA@Com

Rap is a bunch of older songs chewed up and made into simplistic dance beats with someone talking fast!. It is perceived that it takes no skill to be a rapper!.

Now some rappers do have a talent lyrically, like Brotha Lynch and X-Raided!. But most don't!.

EDIT: What's the matter!? A little sensitive are we!? You give me two links both to Gang Starr and you think that dispels the many shitty mainstream artists!?

You want fluidity of lyrics you should see old english poems/songs!.


Here lets show you some real talent, this is live by the way:

http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=ULEBSxP72!.!.!.

Now I don't care for "rock" mainstream rock is just as shitty!. Metal pwns rock like underground rap slaps a dick across mainstream hip hop's face!.

And I never said that rapping takes no skill, I said it is "perceived that it takes no skill to be a rapper"


Slipknot sucks, as with all nu metal!.


I pick on country much more often than rap!. I actually listen to rap but not country!.

And Jr!. Gong, I want you to be honest, have you never said anything negative about country music!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
