Classical as in one person playing an individual instrument? There's a lot to learn there, theory, reading music, and generally being able to play well, instrument maintenance. Hip Hop is similar in that many Hip Hop artists, though they might not play an instrument, they do things with their voice most cIassical musicians could never do.
I don't understand what you mean by this. I hope you are not comparing a hip hop voice to a well playedclasical instrument.:?
Rapping is tiring, it's difficult, and it's insanely hard to memorize lyrics and spit them at rates of 100bpm without a hiccup day in and day out. There's a handful of Hip Hop artists too who produce their own music which also requires music theory, though different from what cIassical musicians learn.
Rapping COULD be tiring, it COULD be hard to memorize. Doesn't mean all rap is like that. All of the majorclasical musicians made their own, unique compositions from their own minds, singlehandedly.
It's no slouch though, producing Hip Hop beats well is an art form, it takes massive amounts of time and it takes a lot of years to learn the best combinations.
I agree somewhat.
I will say though that cIassical instrument playing takes more practice over any music genre but since cIassical isn't a popular art form today, it's kind of obselete.
This statement is laughable and I won't get into it.
As for metal, you could bring up the whole 'they play their own instruments!' argument but it's not one guy playing four instruments, it's four people while a Hip Hop artist may just be one man. There are tons of Hip Hop groups though that use live instruments like Jay-Z and The Roots but that's besides the point.
I don't understand the point at all. Bands are a group of musicians. Rappers are not. I will say that truly exceptional bands must be on the same page and have great chemestry to make the music they do.
Hip Hop vocals take as much and sometimes more then metal vocalists. It's a different type of vocal styIe for sure but from the metal songs I see, a lot of the lyrics take a more poetic structure whereas Hip Hop songs can sometimes run up to 400-600 words. Hip Hop vocals also have to have a great flow which is also seen in metal as well.
Saying words very fast is better than a metal singer giving his voice his all how? The styl*s are not the same, but you present only opinion in this regard. Bruce Dickenson, Geoff Tate and other rock vocalists deliver tremendous amounts of soul and energy in their singing. Speed does not equal "better".
As for the instruments argument, I'll use the example of production again. Being a great producer is like learning an instrument and an artist that can produce well is equal to an artist that plays an instrument deftly.
I highly disagree. A producer does not pursue the craft of producing the way a guitarist or bassist does in their respective instruments. It's not just complexity I'm reffering to either. It's also reaching new sounds and breaking the molds previously set by other works. Also, most metal bands have a heavy hand in the production side as well. Metal bands sing the songs, write the music and play the instruments while being tight in their playing with each other. You have no basis forsome of thestatements you made.
