Theres always a lot of depth to rap that you can't find in any other genre of music. Examples of course are Eminem albums where he deals with themes of childhood trauma. This is a lot more emotional than rock music and because the lyrics are believable they can be better than Emo music, too (:

So anyway, rap is better than any music around; discuss (:

Dude, I think you're completely wrong. No offense to people who like rap, but rock can show a more emotional side. Like in rap, all you do is talk fast in rhymes, big whoop. But in rock, whatever song you make or listen to have a different sound each time, depending on how the artist is feeling. Like depressed rockstars will make screamo songs, it's normal for that to happen. But rhyming to a computer generated sound shows no creativity for the rapper whatsoever. As for rock, everyone in the band is doing something to create great music, not just rely on a whole bunch of other talented people to make it for them.

well, like, you couldn't, like, find it because, like, you're dumb, god

Go listen to some real music, like Nirvana, Metallica, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, ACDC, etc.

I love threads like this. Rap is NOT music, its bedtime stories for teens and some grown ups.

I love hunting for Blam points!!!

Sometimes rock has nothing to do with anything. A good example would be Buck Cherry's "Crazy Bitch". But rock is, in general, more emotional.

But I have heard a lot of rap songs that are emotional. Take 90% of Eminem's songs for example. Rap is just a way to communicate through music, as is rock. Some people can't play instruments and they can't sing. So they rap. The genre is just the style of delivery - not the contents. This is why every genre of music has different content.

Also, freestyle rap does take a lot of skill. It's basically making a song off the top of your head with no time to think about the lyrics. Rappers such as Cassidy, who is famous for his freestyling, probably has more skill than a lot of other music artists simply because he can make up a song, filed with metaphors, rhymes, and meaning, in 10 seconds.

Country is the worst music around. Ragggae and Raggetone (or however you spell it) is the best kid friendly music around.

Anyone who says no to that is a communist

's not bad. If you're going to debate about deeper meanings I wouldn't generalize all of rap since theres icons such as Soldier Boy out there. However theres a few rock/emo bands that could easily compare in depth if you were to make that argument.
