OT: Artists who you just can't listen to
Because of Darius Morris's top 5?
Actually no. My cousin posted one of her songs on my fb wall, and I responded by deleting him as a friend.
I don't know if I have a specific artist might be Drizzy Drake but he can flow though. Nicki can actually flow too, I don't listen to her or the radio but I have heard a couple joints she was on. There has only been a couple female rappers I would ever listen to spit. Eve, Kim, Queen, Foxy maybe. Nicki spit harder than all them no doubt. I like this thread it provoked some thought. Have a great day.
Of the vast majority of her music, but her verse in Monster (by Kanye) really makes the song.
damn straight
i freaking hate pop music and especially pop rap. Bahamadia is the best female rapper hands down. She may look like a mack truck hit her, but she has the dopest flow out there for female mc's. Kanye, drake, jay z, wayne, all suck in my book. Give me Gangstarr, Wu-Tang, Jedi mind Tricks, Above the Law, any day over these clowns.
I hate people that are all like "WU TANG IN THIS BITCH, LIL WAYNE SUCKS, LOLZ".
How is Wu-Tang any different than a Lil Wayne mixtape? Both flows are fucking sick and the rhymes are tight - but neither of them make any sense. Just rapping off the top of your head, sounding good, getting your listeners to "bobblehead".
FYI I am a big Wu-Tang fan (at least when they had ODB back in the day). I was also a big fan of Biggie and Tupac.
If I were born 10 years later, I would have felt the same about Weezy. Groundbreaking for what he is. Don't hate.
Do you listen to the arrangement and production at all?
Because you just called the production of RZA, possibly the best in hip-hop ever, to Lil Wayne rapping over recycled beats.
I'd say that's one pretty fucking substantial way how listening to Wu-Tang is different from a Lil Wayne mixtape.
Also, Ghostface is roughly 100 times the lyricist.
We'll never see eye-to-eye on it. But I do agree RZA is a master with the beats.
That being said, Ghostface (and most Wu members) might have been 100x the lyricist of Wayne, but that was damn near 20 years ago bro.
Hell, listen to how Dr. Dre sounds now (terrible) versus The Chronic.
You're under the misconception that Ghostface didn't drop an amazing album in the last 6 months?
Not to mention Fishscale being insanely good. Shakey Dog is probably my favorite hip hop song ever.
Just want to get your opinion on Bad Meets Evil - Hell: The Sequel. So far I can't stop listening to it.
agree that Dre is washed up now. I have been saying that for years, but it is like that with most hip hop nowadays. Even Wu-tang isn't as good as they used to be. But their older music is timeless. I can pick up Only Built for cuban linx or Liquid Swords and still listen to it from front to back. I could name you at least a hundred great albums from 94, today I can name you a handful at best.
heart over my Lil Wayne sucks comment, but if Lil Wayne came out in 94, dude would be laughed off the stage. Any rapper who makes a song like Lollipop should be denied respect forever. Wu-tang had 6 classic albums from Enter the 36 chamber to Meth, Raekwon, ODB, Ghostface and GZA's solo. What is classic about the Carter....nothing! I don't like a majority of these rappers today because they put the cheddar above the craft and the music suffers because of it. As far as southern hip hop, these new cats suck. Try listening to UGK's first couple of albums, Scarface The Diary, Odd Squad. That is dope shit there.
Think that Jay Hov belongs to pop rap then you know very little about rap music.
is just not my type of shit. Reasonable doubt is no doubt a classsic, but everything else he has put out is just not my flavor. Saying I know very little about hip hop because I don't dickride a POS like Jay Z, shows what a ignorant moron you are.
You've got good taste. Bahamdia is one of favorites and it is a travesty that Above The Law (or DJ Quik for that matter) don't get their props for being the pioneers of G-funk while that poser Dr. Dre gets all the glory.
Pioneers is what ATL are for sure. Uncle Sam's Curse is hands down the greatest G-Funk record out there. 187um's production is sick. Dj Quik is def in my top 5 producers. I love that Jazz Funk sound.
I still find that Vanilla Ice fella to be pretty neat-o...is he still around?
+1 for mentioning JMT... And I really liked Paz's Season Of The Assassin. His album with Ill Bill was disappointing though... Although "The Final Call" and "Splatterfest" were worth the price of admission (the first verse of Final Call is an all time favorite).
Stoupe is one of the greats as far as the beats are concerned and Vinnie's solo was heat. Stoupe just released this album with this chick Lorrie Doriza called Vespertina. I saw them live in NY a month ago and they blew my mind.
Listing the obvious: Creed, Nickelback
Friend had a few tickets to a Nickelback concert nearby...I thought it was bad when he thought I'd attend such an event in the first place...but then he expected me to pay??...I wasn't sure if I was more upset that he asked or embarrassed for him
as Rascal Flatts is country. My idea of rock is Zeppelin, and when I think of country I hear bluegrass. When I expect one or the other and what I get is Nickelback and Rascal Flatts instead it causes me intense pain.
Nickelback? More like here is your ticket back.
Cold Play
Coldy Play and U2 are on the same level of terrible for me.
Amen
Steely Dan.
The Beatles......o.0
/s
The Beatles? Those guys ruined music /Beavis and Butt-head
It cracks me up when people hate on the Beatles. You can trace influences from just about everyone's favorite bands back to them. They were operating on a whole other level.
Rihanna.
any boy band or Disney/Nick creation
Black Eyed Peas
EDIT: And I was reminded by my girlfriend blaring it on her computer... I also can't stand Lady Gaga. Or most of Glee's remakes
nikki minaj is sexy
she looks like a female Humpty Hump from digital underground.
Getting Dongpunched is quite an image.
Rebecca Black..she may only have one song but it is one song too many
But the memory still haunts me.
Lady Gaga, kesha, all the like will cause me to change the dial instantly
I hear if you play Ke$ha backwards you can hear Satan talking.
Even worse, if you play it forwards you can hear Ke$ha singing.
You use singing where I think you meant "holy shit my ears are bleeding."
That is all
"Dang Boy! Why you gotta be gettin' all jealous Yo? (Wink, point, fingers in hair - wink)"
If you say this sentence in a high-pitched Canadian accent you can't help but agree with a2.
Lady Gaga put me into some sort of heat stroke / panic attack last year during Lollapalooza. I can't listen to her bat shit crazy ass anymore. She sucks.
The twang kills me. Glass shards shoved into my ears is a great visual of how I feel when I hear country music.
No offense meant to all the good folk who love country music. I know Radiohead (my favorite) isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea.
Accidentally had iPod on shuffle and my morning alarm was Myxamatosis (sp?).
Worst. Wake-Up. Ever.
