If You Could Be a Singer or Rapper, Who Would You Be?
 
:ar_15s:Me i'm a fan of rap music and i'd like to be Ludacris because he's a good rapper and is a good role model to people.

someonecompletelyrandom 03-03-2009 07:11 PM

I might be Kurt Cobain or B.I.G. I'd just avoid the whole... you know, untimely death thing.

Whitechapelfan200 03-03-2009 07:14 PM

I would want to be Ronnie Radke without the drug problem or Matt from I set my friends on fire.

dac 03-03-2009 08:16 PM

Being Hendrix would be sweet... when you're known as the "god" of something it's gotta be cool.

jacklovezhimself 03-03-2009 08:20 PM

John Lennon.
If you think about it, he had an amazing journey with the music, the traveling, and the experiences (drugs). He just saw the world in a new light.

you have got to be kidding me. now i would be lying if i said i dont like some of his songs, but he his 'game' is relatively weak. his lyrics are essentially about having promiscous sex with lots of slutty women, doing drugs, and talking about how bad ass he is... not exactly quite a role model

i think being a rapper would be pretty cool, but i would definetly want to stray away from the stereotypical material modern rap is at. maybe try and do something a little more expirimental. being a singer on the other hand would open you up to alot more artistic freedom.

I'd like to be some bass player, not in the main spotlight, but still in an awesome band, experiencing all the greatness that comes with it.. So then I could still have second vocals, and I'd love to do that John Frusciante type of singing along. So yeah singing, maybe some scream-speaking aswell. But rap? no thank you

7gaugejames 03-04-2009 06:30 AM

This is Easy....E
 
Elvis, the King. :tramp:alive or dead?:banghead: Alive is Michael jackson, i could do anything i wanted, and everyone would be, like",look... Michael's acting so wierd now, :yikes:he surfs everymorning." And his taste has gotten better, and he just released an Elvis tribute album.... I'd have Ludacris do a duet with me on love me tender.:rofl:

khfreek 03-04-2009 08:00 AM

In terms of vocal ability, I'd want to be Matt Bellamy.

In terms of wanting their life, probably Paul McCartney.

pahuuuta 03-04-2009 08:35 AM

eh i would wanna be a good singer, rap takes no skill, but thats just my opinion, think what you like

jacklovezhimself 03-04-2009 09:03 AM

you just love to cause a commotion don't you?

MagneticVoodoo 03-04-2009 10:18 AM

i would say Zappa, but he didn't puff, so i'd have to go with Bob Marley.

LOL. You should make a recording of yourself rapping so we can all laugh at your lack of skill. :p:

Janszoon 03-04-2009 10:37 AM

I think I'd probably be Mike Patton. Not only would that mean I'd have a great voice and put out a ton of amazing music but I'd also get to live in Italy and marry a sexy artist.

mr. goth glam 03-04-2009 10:41 AM

I would be Bob Dylan.

crash_override 03-04-2009 11:04 AM

I would be Johnny Cash.

Or Bono so I could punch myself in the face as often as I wanted to.

TumorAttitude 03-04-2009 07:07 PM

Think what you want about the music, but the guys in Roxy Music, Cheap Trick, and Motley Crue seemed to have the quintessential rockstar experience, as far as glimmer and glam goes.
Nikki Sixx seems to have it pretty awesome. He did it all in the 80s, died and came back twice, and maintains a strange elegance about it.
As rappers go, Mickey Avalon is just ****ing arrogant and awesome.
As females go, Joan Jett.........yah, I'd rather be Joan Jett then anybody.

gunnels 03-04-2009 07:33 PM

I have two I guess.
As far has having an amazing vocal ability and loving life, I'd love to be Freddie Mercury.
On the other, all the X-files-esque that goes on in Cedric Bixler-Zavalas life would be interesting as well.

Grunge_Junkie 03-05-2009 10:37 AM

i would be Kurt Cobain or Layne Staley.
two great singers and two great minds.

ChiliColdBlood 03-05-2009 01:25 PM

I'd be Maynard James Keenan. Except taller.

Geoff25 03-05-2009 04:35 PM

I'd like to be a singer because I don't want to twist my tounge so bad.

Shoe 03-05-2009 05:24 PM

I would be Michael Jackson in his prime! Because I could do really sexy dance moves....

And be black.

Are you ****ing kidding me? You can't even compare the two, Mickey Avalon is horrible. Case closed.

i just looked up this clown on youtube. No. Just no. He's like a special needs man-child who just escaped from his uncle's sex dungeon and stumbled into a studio. It's just not on mate, there has to be more to life than this.. there just has to be ...

Surell 03-05-2009 09:54 PM

Lemmy. Can't think of a rapper.

Yea, I don't trust Jen Chiba, I use to agree with you but gave up the good fight.

Foamy 03-06-2009 08:31 AM

Wow now this is an easy choice... I would be Sean Morgan... hes a legend. I mean the way he can write then sing hes songs... my word.. !!!

TumorAttitude 03-06-2009 02:13 PM

Fine. He's insane, but HE HAS FUN BEING INSANE. Good rappers never have any fun performing.
But I know nothing about hiphop. So yah.

kniff0311 03-08-2009 03:41 PM

for me it's a tie between zack de la roche or eddie vedder

musica 03-10-2009 12:44 AM

SINGER obviously!

garbanzo 03-10-2009 03:06 AM

i'd like to be Maxi Jazz. not only is he incredibly smooth, but he gets to hang out with Dido and Sister Bliss. i love those short-haired blondes :)
