Back In Black

ONE could call the bond between rap and rock as sweet love making.

  1. Or you could call it rape!

  2. It's a fine line as commentators around the globe share their views when the 'greatest rapper alive' Jay Z (pic) took centre stage and covered Oasis's Wonderwall and AC/DC's Back in Black at the Glastonbury Festival recently.

    (Glastonbury Festival is the British version of the famous Woodstock)

    While the younger hip-hop loving generation thought it as cool, rock fans were left aghast with the rendition - which most say is the worst cover ever.

    So can rap and rock co-exist? Or are they just two arrogant genres playing on different levels, catering for two different set of listeners?

    As long as it's music to your ears.
