    Hey don’t knock the metal itself. It actually requires people to know how to play instruments and sing. Unlike some rap I might mention.

      I agree that people are often unfairly dismissive of Metal as a genre.

      But people are also often unfairly dismissive of Rap and Hip Hop. A lot of the time that dismissal is rooted in racism.

      Now, go listen to some MF Doom, and tell me rap doesn’t require talent

        Tbf rap doesn’t require talent. Go listen to lil peep and tell me talent is required.

        Now, is talent required for good rap? Yeah, and there’s no shortage of it if you know where to look. But goddamn lil uzi vert sucks ass. I know we can’t all be KRS One but do we have to be takeshi 69?
