I used to hate Hip Hop, now I can't live without it.

 

I use to be all into rap, back in high school. Since I graduated, and started singing/playing piano myself I have leaned more towards pop/classical music. I listened to rap from like age 8 - 17, then pop/classical to this day (17 - current age). Been playing piano for 8 years now though.


Favorite rapper was: Eminem

Now favorite singer: Ellie Goulding

 

13-14 : something bad.. Britney spears?
15 - 16 : Hiphop
16 - 17 : Rap/hiphop
17 - 18 : Rap/hiphop + techno
19+ Rap/hiphop/techno + hardstyle

 

You know hip-hop and rap are the same genre? I can't believe the amount of people who still don't know this. Hip-hop=rap+beat.

You just pointed out the difference. Rap is more of a branch off of hip hop. Rap is hip hop but hip hop isn't rap. It's like saying Deathcore is metal. Any deathcore fan is probably into metal but few metal fans are into deathcore.

 

Of course there is a difference, but it's still the same genre. Actually hip-hop is rap, because it has rapping in it unless it's just an instrumental. You can have rap without a beat though, but then it wouldn't be hip-hop. Rapping is something you do. There are different types like trip-hop, jazz rap, death rap, etc, which are all branches of hip-hop. So any song you hear that has rapping and a beat in it is hip-hop. I guess you could call it rap since it does have rapping in it, but it's still technically incorrect. Saying you listen to both hip-hop and rap doesn't really make sense.

I don't know as much as you about this, but isn't deathcore still considered a type of metal, but with hardcore influences?

 

My music taste timeline-

2005/2008 - Indie rock
2008/2009 - Heavy rock
2010/2011 - Dubstep
2012/2012 - Dubstep/Grime

 

My point is you can still favour one more than the other I like hip hop that has a good bassline and beat but don't really like rap as much because theres not really anything else to really enjoy other than the lyrics and the artist's way of speaking them. But that's not to say I don't like rap in my hip hop, you get the idea. And Deathcore is technically considered a branch of metal but it's basically the production of two subgenres of metal coming together, which makes the actual metal in it pretty diluted. If a bunch of deathcore bands were putting on a show together it would be misleading to call it a metal show.

 

11-13 - Mostly chart music, I would have probably been able to name the new top 40 every week.

13-14 - Grime, mainstream hip-hop

14-16 - Mostly classic/underground/90s hip-hop, old rnb/soul classics and a little bit of folk, soft rock and dubstep whenever I feel like it.

 

From 6th grade to 8th grade I loved rap music - mostly 50 Cent lol.

From 9th grade to 12th grade I loved metal. Metal metal metal.

12th grade til now I love rap and songs with BASSSSS <3
