Not every rock band has a lead who plays guitar at the same time. Likewise every lead who is playing guitar is not playing while singing NOR is he or she doing anything other than playing a basic rip. The equivelent would be a rapper tapping on a mixer's button at specific points. Alot of the beats you hear in rap songs are actually made by the rappers themselves. Not all music played by a rock group is written by the members, and both types of music have ghost writters who come up with lyrics from time to time but more previlant in rock/r&b/ska/punk. This is an individual who is not known publicly "ghost" who writes the songs for them.

True a rappers vocal range is way more limited most of the time, way closer to monotone, but tonality does come into effect in some rappers music. Instead of learning to sing they instead concentrate on lyrical styling and a beat to back it up.

I actually have slipknots cd's, creaming aside the lead has a nice voice and the use of a percussionist and a drummer was inovative in contemporary music. Likewise it was one of the first contemporary non rap groups to use a sampler/turntables, I believe Limp was the first within the last 6 years.

Oh yeah by the way I am not some kid who just loves to listen to rap music. I have been around multiple forms of music my whole life and have spent much of my life as a percussionist, this is a person who plays more than one instrument that is hit or struck so no I am not just a set drummer. I learned on Piano and then got into rudimental snare drumming and then into melodic percussion like marimba and vibraphone. Did not even listen to rap till the mid to late 90's when snoop hit.

I see a lot of people talking about how all rap is the same..... there are actually multiple forms of rap and most rap does not hold to the "control the bitches" format you are talking about, that was a very specific point in rap's history, but of course closed minded people would have listened to one song and then turned a deaf ear to the whole genre lol
