General Music Discussion

[thefirestarter]

I don't listen to the radio either. I just managed to channel surf and the remix came on the digital cable station for hip hop. 

I guess she thought that would be a good topic for a song. And I gotta say it was for the most part because she does come off crazy in it. That hook was in my head for a little bit. I would just randomly say it.

[SmilezDavis]

that's my favorite song on her album. could be awhile before anyone wants to date her, though.

[thefirestarter]

I would assume so.

[slyfoxx2]

Oh, you hadn't heard that awful song?  She's going to get some poor, misguided woman hurt.

[Darkspyder86]

Never did like that song, encouraging women to catch a case smh

@firestarter: lil bow wow with a porn star seems so wrong.

[FullMetal_Beauty]

No, I hadn't heard that song before and it's not awful because nothing that makes me laugh like that can be considered as such. Also, any poor, misguided woman who gets relationship advice from a song needs to get hurt.

Tempted to read Code Geass of Nunally. If she's got a manga that makes me assume something funky happens at the end of the first series.

Word.

I knew I forgot something.  To make the list more cohesive to this thread you can substitue T.I.- Papertrail for Santogold.  I've been rotating that pretty hard last month.

darkspyder- I feel you.  I've always been lax with the R&B.  :C

mykucklehurts- Because he actually made a solid album and though he's mainstream he is fairly good artist?

You coming on to me? I find old black male animated characters who profess love for whitey to be immensely arousing.

I don't read a **bleep!** thing.

Because ignorance is the gift that keeps on giving.

[PossumAloysisJenkins]

none of that made sense. i didn't need him to tell me that he doesn't read, though. i just assumed that was the case.

[Oda]

I've been hitting up a lot of Dilla ... and Madlib.. waiting for the Doom album to drop

[thefirestarter]

Nah I was just goofing around and had that stupid sh** in my head and wanted to cause it to be in somebody else's had. If I had an auto tuner I'd sing that stupid azz song with it.

Umm you almost got me in trouble because I let out a nice sized laugh in here when I hit that link in your sig.

Mr.Bootleg-Yeah I don't want to think about that again. Hank spending all that money I see...better get to the WS next year.

edit: Now excuse me I've gotta a link to click that will probably lower my IQ points

What are you reading right now to help you…

I don’t read a **bleep!** thing. That’s why I don’t write music. I’m too cool to be reading and writing…I’m a very intelligent **bleep!**. I can read like a motherfuuuuuudgea. I don’t want motherf**kas to think I’m illiterate.

Well you failed. Failed failed failed.

Also, don't be hating on our "Crown Royal" Vaiders. And yes, I feel all school-girlish and what not, which is why I made it. Time for a change though.

dragonbeard (and other lil' wayne fans) -  i guess we'll just have to write it off as a difference of opinion. i don't think he writes his music for fans of hip hop at all i think he writes it (if he actually writes any of it) for radio listeners and money, and i think that's one of the major problems with hip hop today.

Don't a lot of rap artists produce music for these exact reasons?  I mean, they are getting paid, right?

I don't feel like engaging in a discussion about the motives of artists in our day and age, because to a certain degree it's conjecture (I don't know why they do half the **bleep!** that they do), but I'm sure there are a fair amount of artists out there who make music because they love to make music.

I appreciate your civility.  Especially considering that a lot of this is subjective.

Anani- Stuff it Booberry!  I already know what you're sipping on.

[Anani]

Ha! I didn't even get to type it. Man, whatever.

[thefirestarter]

See you're mistaken it wasn't just intended at just messing with you. If I managed to get that in anybody else head than that = win for me.

I stopped caring about sneakers years ago for the most part because they a.cost to much, b.take away money from something that I can buy that will have more value & c.I'm cheapskate.

Spacadetz-I didn't even Evidence released an EP this year. You haven't made anymore threads messing with people about how you buy shoes and don't wear them heh?

I generally don't care about shoes that much either, but for some reason I've just been buying a lot of them lately. I almost wasted madd Christmas gift money on some black Supras (which I'll now probably buy anyway).

Im actually selling a pair for 260 right now
yeah cop that evidence its dope.

Idk if this has been posted but oh well.

Dr. Dre, Eminem, Others Used As Torture Music
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that declassified Army files approved soldiers to use various forms of popular music as torture devices for known terrorism suspects. The files approve "yelling, loud music, light control: used to create fear, disorient detainee and prolong capture shock." Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who served as U.S. military commander in Iraq, authorized the torture technique in September of 2003.

Binyam Mohammed who was held at the "Dark Prison" in Kabul, Afghanistan says U.S. forces bombarded him with repeated listens of Dr. Dre, Eminem, Nine Inch Nails and Metallica, which left inmates screaming and smashing their heads against prison cell walls.

"There was loud music, [Eminem's] 'Slim Shady' [click to read] and Dr. Dre for 20 days. I heard this nonstop over and over," says Mohammed. "The CIA worked on people, including me, day and night for the months before I left. Plenty lost their minds."

While few are sympathetic to the plights of alleged terrorists, despite the fact that many of the practices violate Geneva Conventions, some of the artists whose songs were used are quite upset.

Tom Morello, whose work with Rage Against the Machine was also used, has joined with a group of other musicians to protest the use of their music as a weapon.

"I suggest that they level Guantanamo Bay, but they keep one small cell and they put Bush in there...and they blast some Rage Against the Machine," Morello said.

[SmilezDavis]

plies would be more effective.

[Spacecadetz192]

some gucci man maine ?

[musiclovr89]

there weren't that many good albums that came out this year actually. I mean I like the new NeYo, some of lil Wayne's new stuff, and Brandy's album.

[myknucklehurts]

yes, i think a lot of rappers do what they do for money, i can't blame them for that but it's like you say there's others out there that do it because they love the music and those are the ones that i'm usually drawn to. i guess i wish that the guys doin it for the love got more money and recognition than they do instead of being overlooked for some of the radio $h*t out there but if that's what people like then i guess that's how it's gonna be.

you're right, this is pretty subjective. next topic.....

I didn't realize Obama had any noticeable affect on hip hop.  Probably because he didn't, and I'm happy.  Don't stop the gun talk because America went to **bleep!** and elected a **bleep!**.
