Rock songs can be written by amateurs, but it takes talent to put together quality hip hop
What a load of BS. I can also compare your average gangsta hip hop to "quality rock". Is that fair? No.
Are you a musician? If not, then don't make ridiculous statements you can't back up. If you are, then you should know better than to talk like this ok.
I am a musician, and refuse to judge my own work's quality.
Rock runs the gamut. People can happen upon formula (Pink Floyd). Charisma (Jimi Hendrix) usually trumps technical prowess (Herman Li).
Hip Hop can be equally varied, but the greats are built, rather than born. Practice builds mastery, and means the difference between Humpty Hump and "Souja Boy".
Edit: Re-reading this; yes, I do know that Humpty Hump is a fictional character.
