Hip-Hop Is More Emo Than Rock
November 20th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News, Magazines, Music News | Print This Article
Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy fame cannot understand why people label his band’s music “emo”, because he considers songs by rappers like Kanye West and Lil Wayne to be better suited to the genre.
Pete admits he is a fan of hip-hop music, but would reclassify certain rappers’ work as “emo”, or emotional rock, because some tracks are more heartfelt than those of Fall Out Boy.
He tells XXL Magazine, “The most emo music that’s come out over the last year has been rap, everything from the new Jay-Z record to Kanye. Lil Wayne is pretty much emo. Everyone who kinda delves in deep enough (is emo).”
Pete should watch who he’s calling “emo”, because these rappers are sensitive!
