Rap ruins most music, the background music is legitametly good sometimes but the rap over it just fucks it up. Only exception is Rage against the machine.
You speak like you have authority by making the bold statement that the ONLY exception is RATM, but I can safely presume you haven't heard cLOUDDEAD, Sage Francis, Buck 65, Subtle, Madvillain or any other groups or artist that they don't play on the top 40.
I know you're all going off 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, which is fine, but don't pretend like you have authority to judge an entire genre of music based on the select stuff you've heard. Judge what you've heard, and until you've heard what Rap is capable of, don't make some bullshit conclusion. It's lazy as hell.
It doesn't have to be either metal or hip-hop. It's all music and there's good and bad in any of it, instead of focusing on the image associated with it, try actually listening to the music.
