Thorin Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 now surely that is not all bad. Well it looks like he didn't realise that slavery was abolished a long time ago. Oh no wait, it's cool to rap about calling everyone a racist when you're black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no wait, it's cool to rap about calling everyone a racist when you're black. your not getting the point matey. so he's not aloud to rap about history. WHY? anyway we could be here all day picking at song lyrics of rappers and golden oldie music. i could say the lyrics of the golden oldies are so cheesy and comical. and that they sound like a bunch of hillbillies. but i wont. anyway i do like some oldies like like phil Collins and Spandau Ballet and not to mention Queen. I think they great. But the likes of bowie, Elton john, tom Jones and johnny cash is terrible in my eyes. OH AND THAT ROD STUWERT. GOD SOMEONE SHOOT HIM.

Mike Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I think this is a generation thing... I've been around Hip Hop since the eighties and hadn't really noticed 2Pac's apparent 'God-like genius' until he was dead... I think the media had a lot to do with hyping him and Biggie... when I was a lad it was all PE, NWA, Bombsquad, 2live Crew, Ice T, BDP, De La Soul, Snoop, Beasties, Cube, Dre etc. no sign of these two..? ..and now every 20 something has a tattoo of the geezer...? very odd..

vvteye Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Just shown my bird a video clip of Wilko Johnson when he was in feelgood on youtube and another of the sensational Alex Harvey band, she thinks I am mad. But there again she was only 2 when I was travelling up and down the country to watch them! Saw both these at Reading festival in 1975. Headliners were Wishbone Ash, Hawkwind and Yes. American band stole the show though .. 5 robotic guys all in yellow boiler suits called DEVO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNATa3JBoU http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2497629351067187102&q=devo+are+we+not+men My son has also pointed me to Weird Al....you're pitiful This'll stop my wifes obsession with James Blunt! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnt48N1OFm8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a generation thing as i am in to all of the above and more. my collection is outstanding. I think its just the music that your into. that's my opinion anyway and I'm sure you'll all think differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 he has achieved so much in little time. No he achieved a little in little time. It's only after his death he's become the messiah. Same with biggie, he'd have just been another 10 a penny black american rapper if he hadn't been shot dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Heres a few to through the Spanners in the works Howard Jones . I was a big fan of his in the 80's, even had the same hairstyle until it fell out.. I remamber sitting watching his video being shot in Trafalgar Square for "like to get you know you well " 1984 i think.. And was a big Toyah fan 80 -82 ,,, met her a few times back then she was tiny about 4ft 10 god sounding really old But i may be getting on but i have huge range I can listen to anything from Abba to the very latest Trance music but some of this 50cent rap type gangster music does get on your nerves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazla Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 like i said. if you don't follow his music then you wont know. its not rocket science is it. He was as big back then as he is now. and the same for biggie. I'm sat here laughing, I've grown up listening to these to rappers buying all their albums whilst they were towering over the rest. how can you say they were only big when they had died. They were the richest rappers going along with p diddy. now how can they be that rich if they didn't sell records and are unpopular. GETS ME.

Thorin Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 He was as big back then as he is now. Bollocks, most people not into the scene outside of america would never have heard of them until they got shot. Like sonicsoop says, nowadays when we've got other artists releasing "new Tupac material" years after his death you've got every other chav sporting his tattoo. And comparing either of them to P Diddy, please, are you joking? He's a good business man but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 so what music are you into genius? A wide variety of stuff. Including some proper old school hip-hop to classical stuff, to metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day we are all different. I can listen to all the old stuff. I like alot of 80's music but i hate trance and dance music. Oh and abba. Its all about taste. If you don't like it so what. And if your gonna slag something off then make sure you no the facts instead of jumping on the band waggon. If 50cent was to get shot now, you'd all say he's only made an impact because he's dead. Wrong. He's made an impact now. He's one of the many rappers who who is doing alot of business and selling the most records. but if you don't follow the music you wont know.

CJ Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 In the 60's there were a few new bands on the scene like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, etc. These are still talked about and revered today. I wonder if we will be talking about some of these "gangster boyz" (sic) in 40 years time? Somehow, I doubt it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
