Black Metal = Rap? Although the two music styles are seemingly as far apart as you can get, there are some eerie similarities between rap and black metal. Let's take a look at a comparison:
RAP Obsessed with "keeping it real", an arbitrary set of rules BLACK METAL Obsessed with "staying true", an arbitrary set of rules RAP Band members with fake names Band members with fake names BLACK METAL Complaints about opression from white christians RAP Complaints about opression from white christians BLACK METAL Overly concerned with making money RAP Overly concerned with not making money BLACK METAL Cheesy synthesizers Cheesy synthesizers RAP Barely in English BLACK METAL Barely in English RAP Strong feelings about God BLACK METAL Strong feelings about God RAP Black skin BLACK METAL Black leather RAP 100 guest appearances on every album BLACK METAL 100 side projects by every band member RAP Musicians arrested for murder BLACK METAL Musicians arrested for murder RAP Closed-minded fanbase BLACK METAL Closed-minded fanbase RAP Very expensive tennis shoes BLACK METAL Very expensive leather boots RAP Imagery containing dogs BLACK METAL Imagery containing wolves RAP Negative portrayals of whites BLACK METAL Negative portrayals of Jews RAP Rips off samples from pop music BLACK METAL Rips off ideas from classical music RAP Videos with super-shiny floors and cars BLACK METAL Videos with super-shiny swords RAP Imagery of the urban jungles BLACK METAL Imagery of the bleak forests RAP Pride in geographic region BLACK METAL Pride in geographic region RAP Pride in own race BLACK METAL Pride in own race RAP Songs about hanging out BLACK METAL Songs about hanging people RAP Overly concerned with appearance BLACK METAL Overly concerned with appearance RAP High number of guys with either no hair or long hair BLACK METAL High number of guys with either no hair or long hair RAP Vocal style masks lack of singing ability BLACK METAL Vocal style masks lack of singing ability RAP Take pride in their (unintentionally) humorous lyrics BLACK METAL Take pride in their (unintentionally) humorous lyrics RAP Musicians face accusations of selling out BLACK METAL Musicians face accusations of selling out RAP Unusual interest in ancestry BLACK METAL Unusual interest in ancestry RAP Videos with scantily-clad women BLACK METAL Promo photos with scantily-clad women RAP Booty Calls are a common theme BLACK METAL A Call To Arms is a common theme RAP Constantly drinking alcohol BLACK METAL Constantly drinking alcohol RAP Axing people kweshuns BLACK METAL Carrying battle axes RAP Bitching about being enslaved BLACK METAL A bunch of bitches called Enslaved

I like rap better than black metal...but the only rap I'm really into is early 90s g-funk (west coast shizzit nigga), such as Ice Cube (it was a good day is a great fucking song), Dr. Dre, Snoop etc. and then a few artists here and there. Like Kanye West, bitch. black metal I'm not overly familiar with, but I like death metal way better from what I have heard of both.

not all black metal is racist, NS black metal is really the only stuff. Stuff like Darkthrone and Burzum are NS. And frankly, those bands suck shit. But, non-NS stuff like Immortal and Sigh are pretty decent(imo) Black Metal's not really my style, but those are two bands I think anyone can get into.

one of black metal's trademarks is piss-poor production. they try to get the whole feeling of the recording experience. also constant blast-beats of the drums, lots of tremelo picking and a real emphasis on screaming the lyrics as opposed to growling. With bands from Scandanavia, usually lyrics about the environment(winter, cold, etc.) Mysticism is in there too, fantastic stories of nature. Usually a lack of solos, and when they're in there, not usually anything special.

Usually a lack of solos, and when they're in there, not usually anything special. sounds like a not as good version of death metal or metalcore... excessive tremolo picking can be annoying...same with excessive blast beats...I do prefer screaming to growling, however. I'm kind of picky about singing in metal bands, but I like the sound of as i lay dying, in flames, and at the gates, for example, when it comes to their screaming...

some people really dig black metal for that reason. The music is aggressive, but it's not really varied. And I agree with you on the blast beats and tremelo picking, but, I'm not a big fan of the screaming. and if you wanna hear some melodic black/death, check out Dissection. I think you might like them.
