Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 58/@comment-25881888-20150918225354

(oh boy i'm in for a lot of hate)

Am I the only one who's kind of indifferent about Bach vs Tupac?

Don't get me wrong, it's a great suggestion and it should definitely happen, buuut

If it were to be the ONLY music-related battle to come out for some time, I'd be slightly disappointed, and this is why:

Bach is really the only problem I have with this suggestion

Yes I know Bach is definitely worthy, but I honestly don't think we need a third representative of the Classical genre of music.

I know Classical is probably one of the most important, influencial, and historical genres of music out there, but we've already had it represented by two different people quite eloquently (Mozart and Beethoven) and doing this again would seem redundant to me.

That's why I put other musician suggestions such as Eminem vs Cash over this one-

Not only does it introduce the first rapper (ok I'm not counting Kanye since he represented the "rich but has a heart" scenario in Trump vs Scrooge rather than rapping itself), like Bach vs Tupac would do, but it would also bring in a new style of music that Cash makes.

Not to mention rock has many different "styles" to it, which is something that Hendrix vs Cobain can show, whereas Classical really all has the same kind of feel to it.

I know probably nobody would agree with me but I just wanted to get my opinon out.

I really do want this suggestion to happen though. I'm just saying that if it does happen, I'd also really want Cash vs Eminem or Hendrix vs Cobain (or hopefully both) to come out, just so other genres of music can have their time in the spotlight.

(and yes, I know that other artists like John Lennon and Freddie Mercury have been used and are in bands that classify as rock, but that's my whole point of how rock can have sooo many different styles to it that it even has it's own sub-genres, whereas most classical songs have the same tune to it.)

TL;DR

Classical music needs to let other genres of music have the spotlight, pls
