Title: Rappers and producers love metal?
Post by: Drudge on November 18, 2004, 08:23:33 AM
I've notice alot of hiphop heads love heavy metal. For instance, Scarface said one of his favorite groups is "Slayer and Kiss" with the latter group being more hard rock fame than metal. Dr Dre says he loves "Manson and Meshuggah". Jayz with mashing linkin park and Lil john using a Slayer and Ozzy sample in his music. Birdman says his favorite genre of music is "heavy metal". Even though I love hiphop, I also love Meshuggah. Any metal heads in this piece?

not really, i prefer other types of rock music, i listen to very little metal except some 70's shit, but none of the metal bands of today really. i prefer grunge or punk stuff, ska-punk especially or what is generally labelled 'alternative rock'. But I noticed that too, i think it's similar among fans, there's indeed people who basically listen to rap and metal

And don't forget, Non Phixion and Necro are big metal heads. Linkin Park isn't metal, LOL. Metal kicks ass. Hatebreed, Black Label Society, Tool, Ozzy, etc.

Ice-T is a big metal-head, this heavy metal kid I knew back in high school spotted him at a Slayer concert.

Not a big metal fan, but I'll listen to it if it's on.

Remember all the shit Ice Cube has done with Korn, too (tours, songs)

Personally, I can't stand it.  I'll listen to a couple Metallica songs, and I've been to a couple concerts, but that's it.  Slayer and all that shit is useless to me... I understand where people would like them, but it's just not my cup of tea, respectfully.

slayer , megadeth , and pantera are all good bands and all but ......on the real they try to hard or milk off of other bands . also they try too hard to sound "heavy" than sounding good. i hate that

Linkin Park maybe hard rock, but not heavy metal. Listen to Pantera or even late Metallica there's a major difference. Linkin Park fits in the realm of Limp Bizkit and/or similar groups who are hard rock.

Yeah I love metal & some real hard rock.I mean,after hip hop thats my second favorite genre in music.& I really like metal combined with rap,for example Xzibit's remix of LA Times with Endo is a fuckin classic to me,MOP's metal-rap shit is dope too.
