“The Believing Game”
Alison Clark
Country vs. Rap
A type of music that not only gives
a good message, but also gives its audience something to relate to, the genre
of country music is one that never gets old.
Every song has a story or a lesson to learn, maybe even something to
make the audience laugh. Country music
is heartfelt, it is there to raise one’s spirit or to give someone the feeling
that they’re not alone when it comes to tough times in life. Every age can enjoy this diverse genre of music. From old country music to new, no topic has
ever been off limits for the message or story of a song. Yes, rap music can have good messages too and
can be relate-able, but country music just gives its audience a whole different
feeling when listening to it. Country
music is summertime music, party music, love songs, feel good songs, slow songs
when needed, and songs that give chills.
When
it comes to creativity, powerful lyrics, and intense rhyming, rap is hands down
an incredible genre of music. No other
type of music could ever compare to the beat of a rap song. A rap song can tell a story. It can talk about anything from the highs and
lows in life to everyday situations, love, heartbreak, and everything in
between. Rap is distinctive, no other
genre of music compares to its upbeat tempos and fast rhyming. Not just anyone can rap, it is a talent that
makes the music only more unique. The
diversity of rap makes it perfect for anybody of and type to enjoy listening
to. Rap music is sometimes thought of as
being more explicit and ‘dangerous’ than country music, but that is just a
matter of opinion and only makes the music more exciting and different. Rap is a universally loved genre for a reason.
It was really hard to tell which one you like the most, both paragraphs had a ton of good points. Though my guess is that country music is your favorite over rap. You seemed to mention a lot more examples of cases when country music is listened to, as if you listen to it all the time. Rap it seems like you still appreciate since you mention how unique it is.
ReplyDeleteI think that country is what you chose over rap. You said in the first paragraph that "county music is heartfelt" which makes it seem like you listen to it more often. It was great how you really proved why these two different genre of music attracts people and why it attracts them to it.
