Oh dear am I not meant to like ren then? - well up to the 2 minute mark anyway after that i wanted to pull my face off.

Nah - first i wanted to take the classic "walk this way", but then i thought i take something newer, and that´s 2 weeks old, and it also features fast speaking which i found funny. Else i´m not much into rap music, but i listen to it every now and then if i come across something interesting, and that Ren guy seems interesting, and he knows what he´s doing, and seems to be good at it. Imho.

growing up rap was initially that annoying sounding people.
Then with the limited scope of music i had back then hearing MC Hammer you cant touch this and the dancing and Vanilla Ice being all cool sounding (I was young!) I started to like individuals rather than the genre.
In school we did a thing on Benjamin Zephaniah who at first was yet more work to do but we got to watch teh vhs video of him and his poetry and interview . He became cool guy and i more or less forgot about him until after few years out of school and his name popped up every now and then.

I'll spare the forums my essay of listening to various rap of past 30 odd years.

I'll listen to Ren again see what he is about some more.

Metal and Rap together is just speaking very fast....
Guns and Roses if anybody is interested in Garden of Eden not to be mistaken for gadda da vidda a truly great song but not for here.

lol...

I like both rap and metal. I grew up as more of a metalhead but I think I've shifted more towards rap as I've matured. Generally I don't like a lot of the mainstream garbage rap and tbf I don't like most of the more-mainstream metal either.
I do listen to metal sometimes, but I lean heavily towards older metal since it seems the majority of modern metal bands have strayed down one of two paths: Whiny p*ssies or edgy death/black metal.
Prog metal and power metal are still very much alive and kicking, though.

My fave rap artist is OG Loc.

what hip hop do you like?

[tom five]

Interesting. I've found that out of the people who typically don't listen to rap, it's metal heads who are able appreciate it the most. Assuming you're showing them stuff that's somewhat in the same lane. Metal heads usually hate mainstream rap, but so do a lot of people. You have to go underground. Let them chew on something Aesop Rock, or Clipping, or MF DOOM.

There's good and there's bad in every genre, and with how popular rap has become, most people have extremely limited exposure to what's actually out there unless they're actively searching. Saying that rap music is bad, as a blanket statement, is like me saying that rock music sucks, and then you find out I've only heard Nickelback and Imagine Dragons. You'd be like, "oh yeah ok, that makes sense. You're wrong, but that makes sense."

Well metal is generally quite melodic whereas rap is abrupt and stuttery in its sound. That would be the first reason

I can show you harsh noise metal and I can show you melodic rap music.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

Hence why I said generally. Even still in rap you inherently can’t get away from stuttery vocals that’s by design

well being a metal head/punk and hearing everyone talk about inclusivity all my life yet constantly being excluded can make you a little bitter, i went out of my way to attempt to give everyone a chance but the truth is that everyone is exclusive, everyone in society just wants there own niche diversity is a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's more like exclusive diversity which means we accept only that which we think is cool, i also suspect that the government has it's own agenda which they subtly push i've thought this for a long time, what is socially acceptable is anything that is what i would call a soft dissent, basically you can disagree as long as you still work and fit into societies systems kind of like someone who i would call a weekend rebel they work a normal job in a suit and then go and protest to fit in with the crowd on the weekends, the hypocrisy is almost funny at this point.

You really can, though. That's like me saying metal can't get away from growling vocals. It's simply not true. There's diversity in all genres.
