metal is definetly better than rap because now and days rao has become the worse. Old school rap is pretty awesome such as Easy E, Tupac, Bone Thugs And Harmony and just back than artist, but these artist such as Drake, Lil Wayne, and Soulja Boy has ruined the rap culture. And metal has ben around longer than rap. Side: METAL

Metal has been around since the 60's and it has been around this long for a reason. Playing instruments, singing is true artistic talent. Rap rips off music from real talented groups and change the lyrics to meet their needs. Rap also has a bad "rap" for promoting gang violence and making the law sound like the enemy. Look at movies today, when gangs are doing something or even shown, rap music is played. All in all, rap stars are poets gone mad. Side: metal

If I must choose between the two than it's metal all the way with the exception of head-banging metal. THAT gives me a frigging headache for sure. To me metal is a viable genre where rap, no matter what they tell us, is certainly not. Here and there comes a song I like with a bit of rap in it and I don't mind that but all Rap...no way! In any case, like Nichole, I prefer Classic Rock rather than these two we're choosing from. Side: metal

meaning lyrics I am going to assume you meant "with meaning in the lyrics" To say that rappers don't have meaning in their lyrics is absurd. When you take the O.G.s of rap they are truly feeling what they rap about, whereas there are some rappers i.e. Soulja Boy whom posses no true skill and also lacks a basic understanding of the English Language. There are definitely rappers that deserve plethoras of kudos to their ingenuity with the English Language. Rappers such as: Gangstarr, AZ, Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Fabolous and the list goes on... Rap isn't what it was in the 80's Yes it is, if not better. Listening to your local radio station isn't going to let you delve into the true world of rap, that will take you as far as iTunes ( current ) top 100 will. You have to go underground for the good stuff. something of real life struggle. So what the rappers that grow up in the worst neighbor hoods, have no money, and are constantly fought and abused don't count due to making it big? So as soon as they land that record deal and move out of the slum they all of a sudden don't fit into the category of rapping about real life struggles? Side: RAP

Effing neither. Most metal music sounds the same and makes you want to kill yourself at some point. Listen to that stuff in concert; and you'll feel lucky you still have functioning eardrums as well as a brain that hasn't exploded in your own damn head. (I'm 80% deaf and still think metal is loud as shit). Rap music is somewhat toleratable if you actually give a crap about lyrics and if it they're not talking about raping someone and being proud of it or some dumb shit. But I don't prefer it because I don't care for lyrics. The only rapper I've ever been able to tolerate is Eminem, and it was mostly because he had good background beats and rhythm to go with his rapping, and his rapping was usually funny. He stood out in a better way. Either way, they both suck. I prefer classic rock. Side: Neither

You have obviously not heard any REAL metal. Were you listening to Asking Alexandria? Suicide Silence? If you listen to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, etc., you would not think the way you do now. Maybe you still wouldn't like it, but you would have different thoughts.

I dont like metal that much, but rap is pointless all they refer to is 1. sex 2.drugs 3.gangs all they do is rhyme words to a beat that you hear in other songs.Even my 3 year old cousin can do that. I rather listen to screaming voices, and awesome guitar chords, and awesome beats that are unique.Than listening to rap. Side: metal

Metal, because it borrows from many genres and is not just screaming as many people think. Rap, if you forget about the mainstream crap of today, can have some very good lyrics and songwriting, but is somewhat limited by the form in which you must express it, while in metal artists have more freedom in the delivery of their sound (basically all rap songs are going to have something in common while metal songs can be more varied: death, within temptation and queensrÿche are all metal but they don't sound alike at all) Side: metal

Metal, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, ect is a very rebellious type of music much better then rap, why you ask? Metal music has more opportunitiesto join in the music world because their is the Guitar, Bass, Vocals, and drums. Rap is just waving you hand in a "W" or or "Y" pattern, ryhming words that never change, wearing clothes that look to heavy to carry (that the reason why their asses are showing), and or course Sex, drugs, rapeing, whores, women wearing tiny clothes that get men to horny to resist having sex with them and then the teenage girl gets pregent or has some kind of nasty disease. I don't see that in Metal music listeners. We just know what to say about the world and who curropted it is and we are making a statement and screaming at the higher class people who don't understand who the little man is suffering. So its offical rap and Hip Hop so die out because of these reasons. support Metal music please thank you. P.S. Slipknot, Pantera, 1980's Metallica, Ozzy Osbourn, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Motorhead, Iron Madien, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Van Helen, and Pantera(sorry I had to say that again) Are the Greatest Bands in the whole Universe long live these Greatest Bands!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal is better because it more diverse every sub genre is different than the other. Metal talks about everything and the instruments are energetic. Metal is about being different and yourself it teaches individuality. Metalheads are family we all stick together like if that person was my brother or sister. the skill it takes is unbelievable the vocals and instruments and it BADASS. Side: METAL

It depends on what you define metal as... I personally prefer to listen to 'extreme metal,' meaning death, black, thrash, doom and speed (I don't like this type) metal. They all require just a tad more skill than rap requires.' Here's a quick wikipedia summary of death metal: 'It typically employs heavily distorted and low-tuned guitars, played with techniques such as palm muting and tremolo picking, deep growling vocals, aggressive, powerful drumming featuring double kick and blast beat techniques, minor keys or atonality, abrupt tempo, key, and time signature changes and chromatic chord progressions.' Now. let's look at rapping: 'Rapping is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a backbeat or musical accompaniment.' From just this, we can see the difference in skill required on average for each of these different genres. Is everyone the same in skill? No, there are talented artists like Qvkata DLG, Keranov and Eminem in the rapper field. Then, they're are plenty of skillful groups in the metal field... Whourkr, Meshuggah, Cattle Decapitation, Slugdge, Nile (George Kollias is legendary!). Then, there are awful artists like 6ix9ine and icejjfish, and countless bands that I do not listen to. The beats for rap are normally produced electronically, and remain very consistant throughout the song. Metal is normally produced with real electronics, but sometimes with fake drumkits. There are also 4 or 5 musicians in the bands. A common layout is one vocalist, two guitarists, one bassist and one drummer. Sometimes, the vocalist is also a guitarist. Metal can be very progressive, or it can be technical, or it can be repetitive, or it can be a combination of these things along with others not mentioned. Even the more repetitive bands can be skilled, like Meshuggah with it's extremely odd time signatures put back into 4/4. There is also the matter of lyrical content. Generally, I believe rap talks mainly about topics like women, drugs, and gang-related actions. Metal covers a wide range of subjects such as the occult, politics, hatred, violence, society, aliens, slugs (I'm looking at you, slugdge), gibberish, death, and more. While many may write away metal's vocals as just screaming, growling, etc, only a portion of metal does this. Many subgenres like thrash metal and progressive metal mainly use clean vocals. Even if you cannot understand the lyrics, nothing is stopping you from going on Encyclopaedia Metallum or Dark Lyrics and seeing the important things they are singing about. While metal vs rap is mainly a personal matter, I believe that one can objectively find metal to be better as I have shown through my several arguments. Side: METAL
@Quake3FTW You are completely objectively wrong. Rap is the most lyrically advanced form of music because it is structurally designed to place emphasis on the lyrics. Like with all modern music, the mainstream stuff is usually stupid and therefor your statement about the subject matter of rap is based on looking at only the worst of rap which happens to be the most popular. Also comparing rap to metal is like comparing painting to poetry because metal is about the sound and the atmosphere and rap is about rhythmatic poetry. You can technically rap about anything so your assessment of rap is inherently flawed. Here are some raps that will change your mind: https://www.youtube.com/ https://www.youtube.com/ https://www.youtube.com/ Side: RAP

Metal sucks. Too much screaming. Industrial ftw~ Rap is GREAT when you get a great artist performing rap. The problem is, it's also one of the easiest forms of music to get into because all you have to do is rhyme and look 'cool'. So it's flooded with shit artists who want a piece of the pie. Side: RAP

Well, since i don't care about the score on either side, i'll post here since the other side is filled up. I like both. Don't see the big deal between which is better... why does it matter? I prefer metal, but that's only the hard stuff (ranging from System of a Down which is alternative/nu metal to Animosity which is Technical Deathcore). This is mainly because Extreme Metal sub genres make me more excited and happy. It's all about energy. Also why i like Techno/Industrial. Rap is fun too, and I like to freestyle on occasion. I even try to combine Death Metal and Rap in my own writing. Side: RAP

metal is better rap music because there is more meaning to it than rap, rap talks about racism, cop killing, sex, drugs, and dumb crap, rap is just stupid, completely stupid, it's worthless like a piece of trash, put a rap disc in a dead carcass and burn it with fire. Side: METAL
