You're saying rap isn't music, but death metal is? deathmetal is not written by guys who are proud to have been shot 5 times i mean why would you be proud, unless your in a warzone, you must have gone seriously wrong in life Edited by sabre, Jun 3 2009, 06:20 AM.

To be fair, sabre, there's a difference between rap and gangsta rap, ya feelin' me nigga? And Freki... I think I may have to agree with that assessment Technique aside, I can't help but laugh at some of the things death metal bands sing about - dragons, for example. Not my cup of tea, I suppose.

You're saying rap isn't music, but death metal is? deathmetal is not written by guys who are proud to have been shot 5 times This is "rap" not rap. Try something like CunninLynguists, The Brothahood, Immortal Technique, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco or the like...

Yeah, less artistic value in a song will usually mean more listeners. It's more or less how any form of art works. Freki: Your post sounds like someone not listening to death metal properly

I'm not talking about telling stories or anything like that, that is story telling ability not lyrical ability. Post me two lines from a death metal song that show lyrical skill, ie multis, inrhymes, wordplay etc.

Tupac, shot dead, not that much better lyrically either. Possesed, never shot, genius. Lowkey, never shot, brilliant.
