Rap is a bunch of monkeys talking shit to each other walking around grabbing there crouch.
Metal is brutal and makes me day dream about killing people.

Better?








Eayser to laugh at people then to write down what you actually think of something.





Theres alot of layers to it because each "track" is doing its own thing... you can focus on listening to the drums or the guitars or just the vocals, and there each doing something different but making a song out of it. Maybe im the only one who listens to metal like that.. i dunno, i find it hard to believe that im the only one who listens to it like that.
Why would i wanna download ableton and do that.. its not something im interested in. I would rather eat glass then do that..

the way you look at rap is the same way people look at metal
asking alexandria
breaking benjamin
etc.
just close-mindedness
and btw brutal death metal is terrible, it requires probably as much talent as making the average rap song

I've kinda grown out of metal. It's a whole lot of the same, after a while. Finding new bands wasn't exciting as it used to be, because metal is compressed into this tiny little box of possibilities. It's just not a very expansive group of genres, once you get down to it. That said, I still enjoy listening to it from time to time, but mostly Prog, Folk, Black. I enjoy BM that isn't all "Raw raw blasphemous shit satan satan ahhhh anti jesus shit on the virgin marys vagina", that gets really tiring. Anti-religious/spiritual music is just as bad as any fundamental christian country music. Lyrical themes in metal are more stagnant than an unflushed port-o-potty at the fair. Death Metal is even worse. They hardly ever discuss aspects of death, or anything philosophical or interesting. It's all just " GRRR I DIG UP CORPSES AND FUCK EM IN DA BUTTTTTT THEN I RIP THEIR ENTRAILS OUT AND USE THEM AS A HAMMOCK TO SWING IN THE MOONLIGHT IN THE GRAVEYARD!!! " I'll listen to Metal again when it comes out of it's little hidey-hole of "Tr00 kvlt" bullshit and begins experimenting with new sounds and ideas.

Rap and Hip-Hop is too culture based for me to enjoy. I don't want to hear about other peoples problems, how hard their life was growing up in the hood, how many people they've killed, or how much they enjoy various concoctions of purple drank. I realize there is Rap/Hip-Hop out there with interesting lyrical themes, I just don't enjoy the beats enough and get bored listening to somebody talk about stuff that isn't really that profound.

Rap: Someone talks into a microphone with some rhythm saying the same 40 words that everyone has already say before and uses in every fucking song. Most rappers can only do it because they use the word "ni**a" which helps make a rhyme eayser. Generaly the rap is to a beat that some person has put into a computer and spit out taking hardly any skill to no skill, anyone can get a set of turn tables and make one of those beats. Rappers also try to get famous off of "dissing" other people.. which is just the most retarded and lamest way to on to charts.

Metal: Growel/Grunt/Pig squeal... not easy to do. Lyrics are generaly based on people who dont exist, so theres no "beefs" started and there for no drama in the metal music industry.. Which is good. I dont like it when people are bitching and complaining about other people, its fucking annoying. alot of lyrics i listen to are about murder and killing people... but alot of music i listen to is empowering to ones self and i believe helps build character. Also with metal the band has to be pretty in synce with each other, members have to be able to understand  how a song should sound to the lyrics, or the vocalist has to be able to get the vocals to go with the drums/guitars,That takes much skill. For 4 or 5 people to sit down and make a song thats all in synce and is brutal but still is so harmonious is amazing to me.

Why i like metal: Its complicated, theres so many layers to it to listen to.. you have drums you can focus on, or the guitars or the vocals.. or you can listen to it as a whole. I like the brutality of it, it calms me down when im pissed off, or it charges me up when im tiered or when i just woke up.. theres nothing that wakes me up better then listening to some metal, weather its loud or turned down low.. it helps me wake up in the morning. Metal is my therapy, as dumb as that sounds... but im sure that metalheads who read this wall of text will agree. I really can get sick of listening to metal, i listen to metal hours everyday, if i want something brutal, then i put on brutal death metal or death metal if i want something thats foot tapy i put on melodic death metal, if i want slow and brutal i put on slamming brutal death, if i want something really technical i put on technical death metal... theres always some type of metal that i want to listen to. I used to listen to rap, i was very angry at the world and angry at myself. When i started listening to metal about 5 years ago it all changed, metalheads dont judge you.. they dont care how you dress or what you look like. Its a brother hood and i have respect for any metalhead. Its more then just music to me, its a way of life. And when you find a new band that you havent heard before, theres a sensation thats hard to describe... its like finding another peice of yourself.

Do the right thing and go back to NWOBHM. I thought you loved Maiden?
