I ask because it's too close to call.

Hip Hop. It's one thing to sing about Satan and another to glorify the fucking hell of your own community.

Metal is sacrilegious (though it is so much so, that it sometimes seems religious to me, but more on that later).

Hip-Hop As It Is is corrupt and debauched.

The music itself... or everything that surrounds it?

I'd say hip-hop easily... I mean there are people getting shot and killed in hip-hop... is that going on in heavy metal?

Music, despite that each genre has a culture.

Back when I was younger, I'd say metal but now that I've listened to so much hip-hop and hear some of the most incredulous things I ever heard anybody say on a record, hip-hop (least the hip-hop from 1991 onwards) has some of the most evil/sinful stuff I ever heard. With metal, people would think someone was talking about committing suicide forcibly hearing the music backwards but then hip-hop will have songs that talk about artists saying "I'm gonna kill your whole family" and yet it sells. Kids born in inner cities sell their soul to the devil when they do gangsta rap.

when you say music are you talking about the sound of it and are you including the lyrics?

Hip Hop. Simply because it has now brainwashed a whole Generation of Kids to think that its "Cool" to call women Bitches & Pop a cap in your own Brothas ass. It's actually Glorified the whole Ghetto Experience.

Now its gotten to the point where Rappers actually LIE about having gone to Jail for Street Crimes to be able to be accepted in the Hip Hop Community. If that isn't Satan , I don't know what is.

These days, lying about your cultural background isn't enough to be a successful studio gangsta. Now some studio gangstas need to have survive being shot a few times (regardless of the person/people that shot them) to quality for a chance at success in gangsta rap alone.

Dunno which one of them is more 'evil' or 'sinful'...
all I know is that they both suck monkey balls

Shit hop
