As for the entire rap/rock thing....

I havn't read the topic, nor do I intend to. but it was brought to my attention that a large contingent of people have said, in this thread, that rock and rap music are similar and alike, with very few differences...and their "proof" was the large amount of rappers who will take a cut from a rock song and add in some snare and extra drums and whatnot and turn it into a beat for a rap song.

Now hear me clearly. This does not make rock and rap similar. It just means that those rappers who have to use rock songs for their own beats apparently can't come up with good beats of their own.

Rock and rap are two opposites....they're north and south, top and bottom, hot and cold, Oprah and Weight Watchers, George bush and a brain, John Kerry and charisma......catch my drift? The two have very little....if anything....in common. Let me educate you kids a little:

Rock music is performed with multiple members in their group or band, and each member has a different role in the band. Each member plays a different instrument (guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc), and there is a frontman, who is the vocalist--he or she can either do nothing but vocalize, or vocalize AND play an instrument--usually guitar--at the same time. Rock music, for the most part, is predominently comprised of guitar and bass guitar music, including a heavy emphasis on the drums. The music itself is constantly changing...it's a song that's constantly flowing and changing (for the most part, that is). Songs usually have a period without vocalization, which is used solely for instrumentals, possibly guitar riffs or drum solos. Rock is performed mostly by members of the caucasian race (with exceptions, of course), and breaks down into various categories including alternative, punk/ska, and metal. Song lyrics and references vary drastically, and sometimes or usually require a firm intellectual understanding to grasp their true meanings.

Rap is usually performed by a single person....sometimes with one or two others. With only VERY FEW exceptions, there is no true instrumentation involved...no guitar, drums, or other instruments. The background music is usually created electronically, using computers, sound recorders, synthesizers, etc. The background music "beats" are comprised primarily of drum beats (usually and primarily the bass drum) with other "digitally mixed" music mixed in, and is mostly repetitive in nature, occuring in sequences of three or four beats, then repeat. If there is a single rapper, he or she generally vocalizes in sync with the beat throughout the song...if there are multiple rappers, turns are usually taken. Rap is mostly performed by african-americans (with exceptions, of course), and breaks down into a couple categories (gangsta rap is the only one that comes to mind, i can't think of the official name of any other categories). Most of the lyrics pertain to urban life or life in the inner city or ghettos and hip-hop culture.

Now please tell me how rock and rap are one and the same
