I consider rap very dangerous, because only your unconscious mind can really hear all the words.  This would be especially true when you are wearing earphones.  If you could hear all the words, you'd have no trouble choosing gospel instead, if you have any feel for gospel music at all.  Personally, I think jazz is better than both.

Let's see...I'm a big fan of both Jazz and hip hop and the artists I listen to I find that they all usually have a common style because of the producer they worked with.  Below is a list of [*=producers] who I'm listening to now, and some of their work:\n\n*9th wonder-\n     Little Brother (The Listening; The Minstrel Show)\n\n*James "Jay Dee" Yancey aka Jay Dilla (RIP)-\n     A Tribe Called Quest (The Low End Theory; Midnight \n     Marauders; The Love Movement), The Pharcyde \n     (Labcabincalifornia), Common (Like Water for Chocolate)\n\nGuru (from Gangstarr)-\n     Jazzamatazz vol 1-3\n\n*Pete Rock-\n     Pete Rock & CL Smooth (Mecca and the Soul Brother) \n\nThere is many more that probably should be on this list, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head. Most of the music I listen to utilize a lot of jazz samples and integrate them into their music in very obscure ways...very creative ways. Tip: find a producer(s) that you like and stay with them ;-D

You are soooo right ... JAZZ is the way to go !!! Though I am grown now (42) ... I was an avid fan of JAZZ as a teen ... even sang it (still do) . So much of the music today is way to harsh ... all the undertones & shattering vibration's messing with the delicate system's within our bodies ... literally making people ill mentally & physically ... no wonder people have so many problem's these day's ... just think about it !!!!! I think like you ... I will just stick to the beautiful , calm & soothing sound's of JAZZ :) . Have a great dance !!!!

Hip-hop/rap is uncreative, unimaginative crap.\n\nMoney this, cars that, ho's this, bling that and on and on and on.

definitely rock. coz it involves a heck of a lotta talent than rap in my opinion...i mean if your a rocker u have 2 have a good voice,timing,and a good year..and 2 b a rapper u just need 2 speak fast...or have a girly name like nelly;)

i think it depends on who your asking. im an african american and i like hip hop. you would never usually hear a black person say they like rock. but im one of those who do. i like both. my favorite hip hop artist is kanye west and my favorite rock group is my chemical romance. they both bring good music. some people shouldnt be so "one type". everything has its own style. hell, i even like a little bit of country!!!!

im sorry but it would really help if you said what type of music you listen to. I really like all the 50 cent music lately. but thats just rap.

R&B is softer, slower, hence the Rythm and Blues. And Rap is harder, more parental guidance is needed (in my opinion) as there is more swearing in it. I feel that like Jagged Edge, Genuwine, Keith Sweat, Usher, there are so many, are  R&B and Ludacris or Jarule, those ones are more considered  RAP...

I like Alternative like punk and grunge the most.  Then rock.  I also lately have been listening to Christian ( I believe in God but I'm not Christian), Jazz, and Classical to get in a relaxing or calming mood.  \nPop and R&B are somewhat ok, and I can tolerate a few rappers, like Eminem, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, 50 cent, and just a few more.  But rap was my thing in Junior High not now.  So anyway mostly Alternative/Rock.

I Love gospel music. It is the only music i care to listen to. It lifts me up.  When God saved me, He put a new song in my heart.  Good gospel singing brings joy in my life. It makes me more spiritial in the Lord.

As a singer Beyonce is very good, has a great range and obvious gospel learnings.  A lot of people will probably mistake this question in go into a diatribe about her music, which is not really what you are asking.  (Personally the high note towards the end of her cover of Emotion shows an outstanding range I think.)

Whoever said 'neither' or 'none of the above' should've not answered your question. I believe lyrically LiL Wayne is the better rapper. I think thats more or less because he is inspired by Jay-Z. And if you listen to a lot of rappers tha look up to Jay, they kinda sound the same, lyrically i mean. Just listen to Carter II. That album, especially Husters Musik tells it all. T.I. is hott but, not in the same range as Wayne.

The issue about music is a couple of days sermon on its own so im gonna try and condense it into a few words. please bear with me.Music is not just music. its about the spirit behind music.Whatever music u listen to the spirit of the person where the music originated from follows the music wherever it goes(see Davids example from the Bible 1 Samuel 16: the spirit departed from Saul because David had the Spirit of God within him which he played through the harp into Saul causing the evil spirit in Saul to leave since darkness and light cannot mix).So listening to music can open u up to spirit(s) that it is carrying.\n Also music is a form of worship to God and we all know how the devil tries to copy or at least pervert everything God does because the devil wants to be God. The devil was originally an angel of music til pride set in and then he was kicked out of heaven.(a word of advice stay away from pride dont praise yourself coz once u do u tend to lose focus on the fact that God gave u ALL you are) The devil didnt lose the gifts or talents he was created with so he uses those things to pervert  whatever he can. Now the devil knows that Christians still like entertainment and the devil intends to be worshipped whatever way he can so he cunningly infiltrated the music industry and will make you believe that anything goes as long as it has good lyrics. See i dont know where rap started from but i know half the time u cant hear what their singing anyway so they could say good stuff run thru bad stuff and youd neva know. The Bible says we should abstain from all appearance from evil(1 thessalonians 5:22).Rap appears evil- its hard to tell Christian rap from  secular rap if the two are just similar then shouldnt we stay away anyway. I definitely know about hip hop that it is a no no coz u will find that the form of music was started by people who claimed there was no God and that the black man was God. The spirit that started the music still hasnt left the music.It has just modified itself so it could appeal to more people. the devil will deceive u any way he can so dont think just because the lyrics sound right then all is well. Disclaimer i am not saying all the people writing Christian rap, hiphop, rock or whatever other kinds of music are not right i am saying the spirit behind the music isnt right.\n\n whether u know the truth or not the truth stil remains the truth. i hope this truth will set someone free. u dont have to take my word for this music thing. Go to God and ask that the Holy Spirit will tell you Himself more about this music issue.When Jesus was going to the Father after His ressurrection He promised to send us the Holy spirit to be our helper.(John 14:25-27) If u ask that He helps you , u will find that anytime whatever music is played your spirit man within will either be disturbed or be at peace. Also ask for the gift of discernment(1 Corinthians 12:9-11) that u may grow in this respect and live to please our Father in heaven. Take care y'all and may God bless you. with love. P
