[QUOTE=XChris557]ANY kind of music can SOUND like crap - it's all an opinion - i never said it didn't take balls to get up on stage and either - rap bout dem hoes - or sing/scream/...mumble. about deep stuff - but u can not disagree with the fact that making beats on a keybord/synthisiser bla bla takes more talent than learning a guitar/drums/bass/SINGING (witch Alot of bands can't but .."try") and play together - Now lets look at eachother concerts lol - who do u think has the harder job ... playing guitar/drums/bass/singing without messing up for a couple hours or having yer beat play'd for u and all u have to do is walk around the stage and throw yer little pimp lyrics at yer crowd of fans that are just listening to wtvr MTV plays for them which is the only reason rap has lasted so long - rap is a disgrace - and it MOST of it does not diserve the name music - and i know alot of people don't have rythem but it can be learned - which could look good for the rapper if he had to learn that - and to sum it all up Over all what do u think takes more talent...

Setting a needle down on a specific point in a record and manipulating the turn tables and sliders to produce a specific sound at a specific point in the song = "having yer beat play'd for you" and doesn't require talent? Nor seemlessly synching two records recorded at different tempos together live, in front of an audience?

How about a human beat-box and MC duo? Do they not get a nod for performing a full set without messing up or losing their audience?

And who says Rap has to be performed to samples and a DJ spinning records? Is there any reason there can't be a live band backing up the MC?

Last I checked, Jurassic 5 played their own instruments, do they not get a nod for doing that or were you simply ignorant of the fact?
