Poll: Metal and Rap Fans

[bigwon]

I'm more of a chill person so hiphop definately takes my interest over the 2. With that said i lean towards the underground scene more, that radio stuff is just desensitizing at points.

You know the power of media when you have so many who only relate rap to the 'crap'...heh..

My favorite genre is metal, but I can appreciate good rap. Not commercial shit, but the legitimately talented writing that rap can be.

Which of the two genres do you prefer if any?

I guess Metal. However, my taste in music changes all the time. It's like the northern lights. Constantly shifting hues. Right now, I'm into electronic/house/techno. But I just started listening to Weezer again, too. So we'll see.

Who is / are your favourite metal artist(s)?

Ensiferum, Finntroll, Turisas, Eluveitie, Korpisklaani, Kalmah, Wintersun, and possibly some more that slipped my mind. I love folk metal.

Who is / are your favourite rap / hip hop artists?

Stress, PVP, Gimma, Deichkind, The Streets, The Beastie Boys, Fatal Bazooka, Run-D.M.C. and Rage Against the Machine. Props if you've heard of more than three or four of those groups. The first three are Swiss, Deichkind is German, The Streets are British, and Fatal Bazooka are French. I love rap in other languages.

I've never liked rap, I really like metal, Power Metal and Viking metal to be more precise.

I listen to a lot of Alestorm, Hammerfall, Sabaton, Iron Maiden, ManOwaR. But I've recently gotten into bands like Ensiferum and Tyr.

Depends what subset of metal it is. Black metal and similar styles drive me nuts, the music is amazing but as soon as the vocalist (i refuse to say singer in these cases) starts the song gets skipped.

Operatic and symphonic metal are a lot nicer, still have a nice musical background and decent singing, a great music to have on in the background. my favourites are Nightwish and Sonata Arctica.

for more headbanging styles i stick to Five finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Avenged sevenfold and Sonic syndicate as they all have great music and vocals.


As for the rap i used to listen to a lot of it but i got bored of always hearing about bling and hoes. Eminem is really the only rap artist i listen to now but i will only listen to the old stuff. the old stuff sounds way to whiney to be 'proper' eminem
