Why do white guys like rock so much

[rlsmooth775]

Rap and pop are far superior and they dominate music today rock is not relevant but a few white boys still hold on to their crap bands

Are you an idiot?

[Meticode]

Depends on personality, environment, peers, experiences and growth.

[GimmeThat]

same reason why people still like classical music?


don't mind me though, just an uneducated ignorant fool

[JimmyMcAdocious]

I don't understand how anyone likes music in general. Hearing is obviously the least important sense. Why waste time *********ing your ears? It's like those idiots who buy and wear toe rings for their style.

crack rock

[DonD13]

the same gene that that makes the skin white also causes the brain to enjoy rock music.

[masonanddixon]

Rap is seriously for low IQ apes.

Steely Dan is where it's at. Thats the GOAT.

Ya, hence the :biggums:

That's because white folks appreciate art in their music. Rock is breaking sound barriers and story telling while rap and pop stick with the same generic bullsh*t.

Nah. If anything rap is storytelling.

You cant give that an honest listen and say you could tell that story so well in a rock song.

And I have nothing against rock. Or anything really other than current "pop" and current country.

At any given moment I could be playing Cream, Killer Mike, Albert King, Bob Seger, Vivaldi, the Eagles, Ghostface, Bobby Caldwell, or Billy Paul.

Im just saying...rap is built for storytelling.

Even good stories told in other genres don't have the depth. I Hung My Head is a good song. But it cant compare to the depth of storytelling in say.....I Gave You Power. Or Loves Gonna Getcha. They just don't have the time/tempo.


Anyway....

Ive often been bugged by the idea that rock is for white people. The best rock bands for a long long time were direct ripoffs of black southern blues musicians....and not like that's my opinion.

They would tell you themselves.

Its all just music. Black people just didn't get into what the blues became for a while.

But the Rolling Stones are named after a damn Muddy Waters song.

Rap is pretty deep if you listen carefully, but I have no time to sit there listening to the meaning and story of each song. Give me a nice beat, good rhymes and I'm good.

Let's see how many will fall for this weak bait. You want people to just shit on rap, ay?
No need to, contemporary rappers do perfect job shittin on rap/hip hop

[Cactus-Sack]

There's <10 rappers/groups who don't absolutely suck.

[That_Admiral]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3pQFmfLDzE
beats & lyrics cannot ever go wrong with this song

[cuad]

I've been thinking for a while now that rap needs to combine forces with rock, particularly those guitar solos. People keep telling me it exists already, but all the examples I get kinda suck.

[fiddy]

Thare probably more, they are not mainstream worthy

[pauk]

I like only old school rock, 90s and backwards.

[Cactus-Sack]

No such thing as a good mainstream rapper.

[Nick Young]

cus cool guitars doe:bowdown:

its like blues only taking out most of the sadness and covering it up with sick guitar solos:bowdown:

black people like blues, rock is just blues for white folks who dont want to sing about sad shit all the time.

Wow I feel like you just invented a completely new and innovative genre of music! I never would have thought that rap and rock could go together:eek: :eek: :eek:

[pinhead]

You see plenty of white people listening to black music/artists. You very rarely see black people listening to white rock. Black people are racists.

music is an art form. Art forms are almost entirely subjective.

Art has very little objective criteria. If you enjoy an art form its good to you. If you dont enjoy an art from its bad to you.

Its not like the 100 m dash. If you run 100 m in less time you are better than your competition. Music/art has nothing close to that objectivity.

[GimmeThat]

because letting your body move to complex dotted notes is an art form.

Rock music today is crap in general but 60s/70s/80s/90s/00s rock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hip hop...and I actually like hip hop but great rock is on another level.

[FatComputerNerd]

Rock & Rap go well together

example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sQ3K5GjsSs

You could also just look at some of the mashups out there to see how well the two blend, this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bMM7tGV9MI), or this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka3GznTXur8) both being good examples. Or check out the entire album...it's awesome =P

Story telling in rap is lame anyway. Lyrically makes it a lot more simplistic and boring to listen to. Would rather listen to straight bars.
