Although I do prefer understandable rap from mumble, I do like the vibe it creates and the beats it accompanies (most of the time).

It’s exactly the same as hair metal, it’s about drugs alcohol and women and the only redeeming feature it’s the fun music/beat

But the good news is hair metal spawned grunge so that means in about a decade there’s going to be dope as rap again

Grunge was a mixture of punk rock and garage rock. How did grunge spawn from hair metal?

I don't really care about lyrics, so I'm cool with it bc it allows the emphasis to shift to the melody, rhythm, etc
ResearchByJoe
Nirvana's lyrics were mumbled, and too cryptic to understand even if you could make them out. Didn't matter, dope melodies and rythms
Yinyang107
Rap is generally about the lyrics though. The main difference between it and singing is there's no melody to rapping.
CaptCanada
Rap is lyrics through and through like the beat should never be the focus in a great rap song, hip hop sure but not rap
MrBinns
Music evolves
CaptCanada
That is true. But one of the key things on rap that seperated it from funk and later hip hop was the focus of on lyrics, removing 1/2
CaptCanada
The focus on lyrics from rap is akin to removing the focus

Fucked up, the focus of the guitar in rock, can you do it and keep it in the genre yes but it has to be done well

They like it for the same reason a lot of people like metal music that has lyrics you can't understandable. They like the beat/instrumental
dishadowspectre3
I care less about lyrics than on the tone and timbre of the vocals. Even without meaning for words, talented, post-processed vocals 1/
dishadowspectre3
that are placed purposefully within a track can add immensely to its feel, much like expressive drums, instruments, sounds, and atmospheres.
StewieWonder
I can understand that logic and I'm not trying to be rude, but when I hear mumble rap beats it just sounds like a lazy repeated loop.
VampriruM
It's basically just that. At least with the more extreme metal genres there's a live band playing interments, although lyrically it's BS.
Showmeyourotters
Even lyrically, I can appreciate the effort metal singers put into their screams. They may not always be appealing but they're also not easy
pineaplexprs
This has made me rethink a little about mumble rappers. I can understand metal lyrics fine but I get that many can't/ don't want to try.
