One: I (fortunately) haven't really listened to a whole lot of Linkin Park's stuff, but from what I've heard, the rapping parts did sound somewhat more rap-like than just speaking short sentences.
Two: The "rapping" is really a miniscule part of the song, enough so that I don't think it should have been a deterrent to releasing the song as a single. Actually, the rap parts weren't in the original EP version of the song, so you would again be better off listening to their older stuff. |
