Biggie fans?

yu · 12-09-2005, 09:15 PM

Any Notorious B.I.G. fans here? His new CD is amazing. My favorite album ever by far.

shimshimhada · 12-09-2005, 10:35 PM

I thought he was dead. Rap sucks. lol

yu · 12-09-2005, 10:52 PM

He is dead... but I don't see how people can't appreciate all types of music. I listen to everything and I mean everything.

I think it comes out the 13th. If I hadn't downloaded it, I would definitely have bought it. I actually might buy it anyways. It's amazing.

Not a biggie fan but I do listen to his hits on the radio time to time and don't mind if its on. Not as painful as some people think.

I try not to listen to rap anymore, I do hear it though.

I don't understand the people who say they listen to ALL types of music and that everything is good, blahblahblah. If I don't like a genre, I'm not going to say that I do or that I "appreciate" it.

I should have said that the MAJORITY (95%) of rap is complete and worthless garbage.

The left over 5% is for Common, The Roots, Talib Kwalie, Pharcyde, and Kanye West.

Kanye West doesn't care about black people though.

yu · 12-10-2005, 04:23 PM

I listen to everything, but that doesn't mean I like it all. I can go around saying the music I don't like is garbage, but I won't. I have a fine appreciation for all types of music. I'm not saying it's wrong of you to say rap sucks, but I don't really think there is a need to. You're entitled to your opinions though.

That was a bad joke, really.

Kanye is a brat, period, i give him mad props for his dope beats and his no holds bar approach ot his lyrics. If any music is worth listening to at all, it's music w/ a message.

What's his message?

Sorry but I can't help you if you're intellectually challenged.

I'm kidding. i'm talking about all the different taboos these artists adress in their songs that so many others in the industry aren't willing to talk about, and people in general. That's why Kanye is so good at pissing people off.

Yep! You have to be a genius to understand lyrics like:

"(She did me wrong)
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she ain't messing with no broke ni**az
(She did me wrong)
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she ain't messing with no broke ni**az
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head"

People in general cannot talk like this. It is unacceptable to society as a whole. I would not last one second on a decent job if I talked in ebonics and used the N word twenty times in as many seconds. I also could not get away with speaking to women with the disrespect that is heard in so many of these type of songs. Also, if I talked constantly about putting a "cap in someone's a**" I would probably be commited.

Are you kidding? Kanye is tame compared to "hardcore gangsta rap". He is controversial for saying the things he did at a charity event. He probably sold more records for it while the victims were probably given less money because of people changing the channel.

I changed my mind, Kanye is a musical genius.

What taboos? Sex? Drugs? Black people being poor because of the white people? Religion?

All of these subjects date back to the earliest blues music. So that can't be it.
