honestly, Rap shouldn't be considered as a type of music. Just that in my oppinion, it isn't as creative with instruments, or with rhyming anything. Rock is so much better, and that is because, in most senses, it is more pleasureable to listen to than some dude talking trash about someone else, or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I mean one of my favorite songs is "Gangsta's Paradise", but that's because Weird Al did a parody of it. And "Operation Ground And Pound," one of the rock-iest type's of rock, has it's downsides (of which I can't think of any) but that's so much easier than the former.
Well since all the crap on the radion sucks so much balls, and theres so little good hip hop and rap, and i loooove rock/metal I'm going with the right side. Though i am very confused, we have rock, metal, heavy metal, and death metal. If your going to get specific with your metal subgenres why not throw them all in their, i mean Black metal, Doom Metal, Power Metal, Speed Metal, Folk Metal, Death Metal, Heavy Metal...and the list goes on...waay to specific with the last to since the first 4 were so generic
