The lyrics of rap music are generally ignored because in most cases i cant understand a fu**ing word of it, only eminem can i listen to properly, he's taken a very black music, added some white sensibility to it and found a whole new market.

You wont hear much positive about current pop music because it's crap and the only people who listen to it are kids, theyre are hardly likely to be able to see it for what it is, or form any sort of intelligent opinion.

I'm not sure about that, i think this hip-hop rules the roost at the moment

Based on my tastes and what is generally thought about them. I have never heard anyone say anything positive about the lyrical subjects and actual music in rap. I rarely hear anything positive about pop in the same way. It is adhered to my taste, I must admit, but a lot of people do share my views. Rock is the most popular genre nowadays sales-wise, and that is a figure that does say something.

No it wasn't. It was good.
A refreshing change from all the pop crap.

Slipknot's main influences are more likely to be bands like Napalm Death and Brutal Truth, and I can't see many similarites between Metallica and Linkin Park.
> true genuis LINKIN PARK AND SLIPKNOT THEY CHANGE THE MUSIC
Them being influenced by people like Mettalica and various other "old" bands.
But so is country music :P
