Between singing and rapping, which do you think is more difficult or requires more hard work than the other

rapping of course

Mr. Globe:
rapping of course

taaa reason?

its definetly rapping coz wen rapping u must be saving much breath nd u punch lines mata most...so rapping is a'nt a joke o

Gbengadavid: its definetly rapping coz wen rapping u must be saving much breath nd u punch lines mata most...so rapping is a'nt a joke o

my bro i strongly disagree wit u, cos in singin u also save breath, nd u hv to knw wen to go up pitch nd low pitch, nd in singing u hv to also write nice lyrics. Wit any kind of voice u can rap, but in singing if u dnt hv a nice voice, my broda no way o, even if u use ulto tone, ur stage performance wil be fu*ckd up

OP,
seems you know little about music. Its obviously rapping.

mikuz: OP,

I dey tell you. is it even arguable?

mikuz: OP,

bros na lie, if u rily knw music den u will knw dat proffesional singing no be come chope. Most singers can also rap well, mek rappers sing na mek i hear, e.g chris brown raps well, mek lilwayne sing like chris brown na mek i hear, banky w, kelly handsome etc also raps very well, mek mode 9 or ibliss sing like banky na mek i hear, bros luk at it in a proffesional way if u rily claim u knw music

Tenderly1: and you fink you do?everybody can rap but itz not everybody dat can sing.if itz punch line you can get it from anytin or place.if you really music you won't spew tra.s.h

my bro no mind am, dey re jus lukin at the atittud rappers have, i thought some pple knws music, i no knw say dem no sabi anytin abt music

Tenderly1: and you fink you do?everybody can rap but itz not everybody dat can sing.if itz punch line you can get it from anytin or place.if you really music you won't spew tra.s.h

its obvious people like you see rap as just writing punchlines. You dont know there's hardly a part of art that rap music does not embrace.

i knew timi back then as a rapper when we r in secondary school and he won a sum of 50thousand then in an nta rapping competition,after 4years we pass out he suddenly came out wit singing and then change his name to timaya.
He knows that rapping is not easy thats why he switch to singing.
And to say as a song writter and an artist,i do rap and i do sing thats i cal my style of music as a rapsinger,so i can easily do both 2geder bt rapping is stil harder one.

so you really want us to break this thing down? Do you know what rapping entails? I see the other guy saying Chris Brown raps well. that shows you don't even know rap. Chris Brown has never been taken seriously with rapping unlike Drake has done with singing. do you know what is called auto tune? with that almost everybody can sing well. Tpain built a whole singing career with auto tune. Everybody sings whether at home, during shower etc but how many raps. you may say it's because they are not interested but no, it's because they can't because people also rush to buy rap when someone does it well.
Singers get studio enhancements, can get ghost writing, etc but ghost writing is considered a sin in hip hop. you have to do every yourself. It's as simple as if you can't rap, you can't rap!

odizzy: bros na lie, if u rily knw music den u will knw dat proffesional singing no be come chope. Most singers can also rap well, mek rappers sing na mek i hear, e.g chris brown raps well, mek lil wayne sing like chris brown na mek i hear, banky w, kelly handsome etc also raps very well, mek mode 9 or ibliss sing like banky na mek i hear, bros luk at it in a proffesional way if u rily claim u knw music

lol. You just reminded me of how Brandy made mockery of Brown's rap talent,saying she could murd him in a rap battle. That said. So Drake cannot sing and rap well? Lil wayne? Eminem? Who did the chorus of as$ like that ? Who did the chorus of Lollipop and Fat Joe's make it rain? Shey Banky W or Wakonzy fit do punches,pun/wordplay,metaphors,similies and multis like Mode nine? Illbliss? Who did the chorus of That Ibo Boy? Sauce Kid?M.I?Therry? ICE? Jesse? They cant sing?
If dem dey call singers wey sabi sing and rap you go dey call Kelly Handsome? You sure you aint high?

mikuz: its obvious people like you see rap as just writing punchlines. You dont know there's hardly a part of art that rap music does not embrace.

guy the more u re arguing dis, the more am lukin down on u in terms of music, wot is it again dat rappers do if not save breath, create punch lines n ryhms. I hope u do watch mtn project fame or the past nigeria idol, do u see the kind of trainin dey pass tru? Guy in singing, 1: u most hv a gud voice, 2: strong vocals. 3: u must knw hw to back ur sng up wt anoda turn. 4: song writers re equivalent to novel or literature writers, cos ur song must hv a story line, d list is endless wen it comes to singing, lets jus leave dis argument til 2moro.

seems this guy does not want to learn. hell bent. carry on, singing is harder if it makes you sleep

What are some people saying on this thread? Rapping and singing? Mah, its rapping oh, forget

Music is an art form, whether singing or rapping, I respect both forms of music, I'm inclined to say rapping. Som1 says everybody can rap, but not every1 can sing. U have bad singers as well as good ones, same goes for rapping. So the question should be - singing well n rapping well, which is more difficult. A lot of work goes into singing, but I believe much more work goes into rapping. Consider a rap lyric n that of a singer, a good rap song with mayb 3verses, with each verse prob the total num of words a singer would spread over 2/3 verses. Some rappers go into INDEPTH research, indepth bin the operative word.you have the voice factor, singing well requires a good voice, dat nature could take from u @ anytime, same doesn't apply to rap, well well, I'll pause hia

If u believe singing is more difficult, ur entitled to ur opinion, iv just laid down mine.

so you tink ice,jesse sauce kid and the rest sings gush you rily knnw nothing.dare is an example of a good naija singer ask him how singing is like.

.Singin is natural. Many are born talentd singers.Except u have d voice, forget it.no wonder almost every gal is in choir.

Rapin isnt a talent. It involves flowin for minutes. Going witout air for a long time.

well said man, thats why people cover other peoples songs in reality shows and we have song writers as different from performers in R&B. Rapping on the other hand is very personal and requires actually developing self not relying on your producers etc to fix you up.

guy so u classified all dis rappers u mentioned as gud singers, n i see some one mentionin timaya as a singer, pls dia is different btw singing n screaming, pls wen i say singing i mean proffesional singer like R.kelly, ushar, bruno mars, banky, 2face, dare etc. And 4 the fact u hate kelly dosnt mean kelly cnt sing n rap, put his controversality aside, as far as am concern kelly is one of the talented artiste alive, Andre blaze gave hm thombs up at his rap delivery, n wen it comes to singing kelly has a gud voice, strong vocals, lyrics on point, his backups re teriffic. Haven said, brandy u mention of makin mockery of browns rap talent, y did she went ahead promoting d track she ft brown on dat he rappd, in as much as am a vry big fan of brandy, d sister made a mockery of her sef. My man proffesional singing no be come chop o.

if itz about lyric i give it up 4 rap but if itz about holding of breath just 4get abt it

my brother who told u pple dnt fix tins up 4 rappers. Pple give out punchlines n ryhms, i came across an interview were ice prince was saying, back den wen he was starting, he shares punchline wit mode 9 tru BB. Am a singer n i also rap, i create so many punchlines n ryhms almost evry day frm d tins i see around me n i share some wit my frnds who re hiphop heads. Ask ur sef y is it dat some one can freestyle wit rap n stil mek sence, but always vomit rubbish wen doing singin freestyle

rap is an immature way of singing,you dnt see matured men and women rapping. I want to read ur response to my post.

Tenderly1: rap is an immature way of singing,you dnt see matured men and women rapping. I want to read ur response to my post.

no dault bro, u can wake a rapper up frm sleep 4am in the morinin n ask hm to rap, despite the dull, cracky voice, he wil stil sound gud, but dat can nvr happn to a singer. A rapper can rap in any environment or situation he find hm sef, but a singer cnt, a singer hv to train his voice a little b4 start singing. If birdman can compile an album n sell platnum, den wot the hell is rap. Imagine the hard work of birdman in an album to dat of R.kelly

Now this is the height of lame.
Wen u say singing - I'm guessing ur referring to Rock,Pop, R&B, Soul,Country; all those genre are about love, I respect Country music most out of that lot, coz its lyric focused.
Ofcourse theyr others like Gospel etc.

I like Music that teaches, that sends a message and still Entertains, HipHop leads in that respect by miles, tell me that's immature. Wot ur so-called respectable/mature men/ladies do is sing about love. Well well. Reggae, at least the brand from Lucky Dube, Bob Marley is one rich genre too n guess wot, it's not voice focused like singing. Admittedly theyr some singers that pass messages, but I bet we can count em, hiphop mayb falling off, but its known to pass a message

If we want to separate, the writing and voicing processes, then singing is harder than rap.you have all em breath control stuff in rap. I think its utilized more in singing. So I'll give em that, but if u combine the processes : writing + voicing - rap is way more difficult. Most rappers write their own stuff. How many singers write their stuff n make sense? Most of ur western singers even with song writers backing em spit garbage, oh well

omoh no try am ohh.. if you no get breath control no try to rap.... singing is much more easier but not in all areas e.g like when it comes to changing pitch...heheheheh but bottom line is rapping is much more difficult.

odizzy: my bro i strongly disagree wit u, cos in singin u also save breath, nd u hv to knw wen to go up pitch nd low pitch, nd in singing u hv to also write nice lyrics. Wit any kind of voice u can rap, but in singing if u dnt hv a nice voice, my broda no way o, even if u use ulto tone, ur stage performance wil be fu*ckd up

dude trust me you cant rap with any kinda voice..... listen to most rappers...wen the talk on a normal day and when they do their thing, the sound different... av got a deep voice and innitially when i started rapping, that voice just wasnt it... it sounded wack so had to change ma rap voice,.... take for example MI... the way he talks and rap are'nt the same...

Thank God for the likes of Rkelly, Michael J, I respect wot they have done, music that entertains yet wit a message. How many of em do we have?

you guyz did not tel me any matured man dat stil raps.and pls dnt tel me birdman
