As someone who listens to Rap (and R&B,Jazz, etcc... No Rock), I get no enjoyment out of the music in Guitar Hero, so the times I have played I had to look at it as a Rhythm Game. And as a Rhythm Game, its not fun and unbalanced. It goes from Boring (Easy and Medium) to frustratingly difficult on Hard and Expert (They expect you to know how to play an actual guitar, and I don't have one friend who knows how to play the guitar.) So to answer your question, No.

I've been listening to rap for 18 years it is by far my favorite genre of music and the genre I most listen to (even though the state of Hip Hop is in shambles these days). Still I consider myself a music lover instead of just a rap fan. I like just about every genre of music and at least can find an artist or some songs that appeal to me. Even so I listen to Rap about 75% of the time.

I love Guitar Hero andI can't wait for Rock Band.

If you only enjoy rap you won't like the game... If you say you like the songs on guitar hero, then you're saying that you like rock...

But IMO the whole deal of only liking 1 type of music is extremely ignorant. I respect having a favorite genre, but only 1 genre... geesh!! There's too much good music out there.

Maybe they should have a rap hero with turntables and a microphone. That would be pretty sweet if they made it right.

I know some that have no interest in the music or using the guitar to play the game. But when I tell them that you can use the controller to play it, they enjoy the game. I know one or two people that can go head to head with someone on hard using the controller while the other person uses the guitar. It's impressive.

i like SOME rap (Common, Black Eyed Peas, Tribe Called Quest, Gangstarr), and I don't listen to heavy metal that much, but I still enjoy GH2 and it's heavy metal songs. Some of it has actually turned me into listening to metal, and recently I've gotten into Metallica and Rammstein because of GH.

You do know GH and Guitar have nothing in common right? Most guitarists have more difficulty making the transition because they aren't used to it because in GH there's 1 style of playing and in real guitar there's many.

Rap is my favorite genre, but I'm no ignorant close minded listener. I love soul, R&B, Jazz, funk, etc....

I'm not really a fan of rock or the songs on GH but it's still a fun game.
