what is r&b and the differance between r&b and rap?
407609
R&B means rhythm and Blues.\n\nRap means hardcore lyrics over a Bass-filled beat.\n\nTHEY ARE NOT THE SAME, unless of course you have no rhythm, no talent, or are just not clever at all aka an idiot.\n\nR&B singers are talented in the form of voice, they know what to do with their voices, and how to make it sound good to people who don't even speak the same language.\n\nRappers have talent in the form of verse, some are more talented than others in all of our opinions depending on where we r from and what we r used to hearing. Poems come in many different forms, and rappers take poetry and form it in such a way so that it is both clever and rhythmic, but also put a bit of themselves in it.\n\nSometimes, rappers, and R&B artist "collabo" on a song together; Ja Rule & Mary J. Blige, Jim Jones & Trey Songz, LL Cool J & J Ho. . .\n\nThe thing is tho, in most case R&B artists sing, because thats what you do in R&B. Rappers don't sing, well they try, but they only do it for a hook to their song or something similar.\n\nSome R&B artists that you can look into are John Legend, Boyz II Men, Janet Jackson, Keysha Cole. . .\n\nSome Rappers tha are worthwhile; Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Kanye West, Twista, Devin tha Dude, Cam'Ron, the Beastie boys lol. . .

Because back in the Grandmaster Flash days and then in the Beastie boys days it was all about hip hop music.  Now it's all about bling and money not the meaning of rap and hip hop.  It is really ashame.

depends on if you like to dance in nightclubs, or if you like listening to music at home with headphones. \n\nsouthern & western rap is better for clubbing, and New York rap is better if you like complex lyrics and more intricate beats.  \n\nNY rap is more pure to the culture , and rap from everywhere else is more likely to mix styles of music, generally speaking.

I am not sure about your full question. Are you saying that Gospel music has something in common with "secular" R&B music? (R&B music often being about sex and romance.)  I think there are similarities in the two styles of music. Gospel music uses the same instruments as R&B. Many secular R&B artists have family backgrounds in churches with gospel choirs. It is a legacy in their lives and is where they first cultivate their talents.\n\nGospel music is vibrant and exciting because the singers wish to convey a love for God. That excitement is a common emotion. It's possible for people to be excited about their significant other AND also to feel that similar excitement about God. \n\nIt's probably a matter of personality as well. Some people are naturally reserved and their worship of God is quiet or refined. Others are passionate and their worship of God may be loud, exciting and fun. People tend to like and even perform music that reflects their personality. I hope this helps!

Really that depends on your preferance. It would take a long, long, very long time to describe each genre specifically, one reason being sub-genres which seperate it even further. \n\nRock = Heavy Bass Beat that you can follow\n\nRap = Well, overall some awesome rythyms, okay lyrics, and lots of bad words.\n\nCountry = Usualy tells a story about something, sometimes really spiritual.\n\nyup, theres a few others but those are the big three

for me alot of it is the music. not the words but the music. rap and hip hop is definatly the music to dance to and some of it is cool and not all of it is bad. there is also bad stuff in other kinds of music. i agree that some of it is rather shall we say over the top. but like i said not all of it is bad. some of the songs are real. alot of it is expressions of real peoples lives and honestly the way they talk about women is the way alot of us are. i mean to me it brings to light the truth about some of us and it you dont like what they are saying dont be like that and they cant say it enymore. let me clarify that when they say bad stuff about women they are not degrading all women some of the songs glorify women they are talking about the ones that are like that. so take rap as you want it but it is the good the bad and the ugly. hope this helps you to see why people do find rap and hip hop cool, and do like it.

Significant other! Duh! That's what a guy normally calls a girl, but it could be vice versa. (Why'd you put R.A.P.? It's rap!!!!)

Is it a rap song or a pop song or what?

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.

Now let me say this. To compare Rock to Rap is to compare and apple to an orange. So to say one is beter than the other is not a proper statement> I personaly like both. I listen to ALL music and every genre has somrthing to offer to its listeners.

Rap in general. All they "rap" about is sex, drugs, cars, gangs, and fights. None of them actually write songs with meanings, just things little tween kids want to be or do when they grow up. Music is important and special and shouldn't be treated like shit to telling people how to smack their bitch up or something stupid like that.

I don't even consider rap a valid music genre.\n\nSo...no.
