Rock will last forever but Rap should be the one to go, and soon. I don't mind some rap but for the most of it I can live a long time with out it. I hate the vulgar lyrics in most rap. There are so many ways to express a thought without adding all the vulgar language.
I wouldn't want my cats to listen to that nasty stuff.

Rap. hopefully, i have been praying to god to strike down these "prophets of false" as Lordi would say it, and to create a new brighter world where rock would be the official music of all nations, and no one will argue otherwise.
But seriously, rap will definitely die, i mean it's basically always the same and very monotonous with no room for evolution, plus being very poor in musical content and value seeing as the rapper essentially just talks along with a couple of repetitive drum beats.
Rock on the other hand will live onwards, seeing as time has already proven it will live, hell over 40 years and still going strong! With the older rock songs being played along with the newer ones, I mean it's a sign of greatness that great songs will continue to be played.

Oh...you haven't got the memo?
Both have already died, at least as forms of art. Seriously. It started with the 2nd and 3rd (catastrophic) reiterations of *Woodstock* and ended with the RIAA's suing Girl Scouts and Dead Grandmas.
Really. I have bought exactly *one* new cassette or CD in the past decade, and no, I do NOT download jack diddley squat online either, I am stuck on dial-up and it's just *too slow* for that to be an option. Aside from some occasional listening to the radio, I don't even bother with music anymore....
Because there are too damn many suits earning a parasitic living *coming between* the artist and the public that listens to them, too many managers, lawyers, bookkeepers, you name it. Really, even the bands that have been around long enough to negotiate "sweetheart" deals like Metallica only get 8-9 percent of the CD profits of their music sales....
And the overwhelming majority of the rest get more like 1-2 percent at best. The rest of the over-priced CD lines the pockets of Suits, Managers, and their Lawyers. And we *are* talking about a CD that costs a total of *fifty cents* per unit to burn, with an average price of what, $20 USD? With the artists getting at most *ten cents to a quarter* per CD sold?
Not to mention that the *bulk* of what passes for "rock" or "rap" is so much paid-for stupidity anyway (crunk *does* need to die a slow, hideous, flaming painful death, **OK???**--get back ON the Short Bus now, retards). Really, you know you suck when *Bob Dylan*, a man who could *not* sing without full use of his nose, says your sound sucks..... ;)
So yeah, Rock *and* Rap are dead, Nu-Metal (that rap-rock hybrid) and Country/Western are practically *undead*, and Techno is taboo because the DEA calls it druggie music and says so.....O_O
It's enough to make a grown man want to *go deaf*, especially with the way MTV is just plain *psycho* on their censorship of lyrics....

rap cause it's a limited kind of music to express oneself. Rock is soo diversfied and with loose borders that i cant see it disappearing any time soon. Rock is for anyone, you have pop punk to hardcore and metal, so it pleases everyone and rap doesn't. And rap is starting to wear out, the whole attitude and look.

Rap for sure, Rock has been with us since the 50's. And hasn't died yet. That's called staying power.

i dont know, rock i think has merged into other sub-genres, rap has kinda too. i think rap will die first only because it wasnt the way it used to be.
