i’m like that also. mainstream rap for the most part was competent when it was NY vs LA back in the early-mid 90’s. once the south got involved with mainstream it took a serious nosedive i’m not sure it will recover from.
not exactly. black people have to be around to tell that whiteboy to STFU with some of their lyrics or else he’ll turn in to Denny Blaze within 2 albums. Eminem has D12 and Dr. Dre; CopyWrite has the rest of Eastern Conference; Atmosphere has MF DOOM and MURS… Marky Mark has nobody; Vanilla Ice has nobody; ICP has nobody.
see what i’m talking about, goodm0urning? that’s not even a group/artist. the poor guy is oblivious. if he’s talking about Anarchy Reigns soundtrack… that crap is* C&C Music Factory* tier. still oblivious…
yeah, and sometimes rappers will also have inside jokes or surreal metaphors that you might miss. great site for the beginner/everybody that listens to rap. if it wasn’t for rap genius, i’d have no idea what Earl Sweatshirt was talking about.
didn’t you calf check a girl a “hottie” a few weeks ago? i definitely scratched you lightly. my zombie virus is slowly taking over. you should have killed me in 2006.
You know what isn’t cool? Listening to rap, or even pop in general (especially the materialistic stuff) when you’re out of a job. Last thing you want to hear is how great somebody else’s life is when you’re scouring job sites and panicking over your bills. After a LONG music blackout, I can finally stomach hearing squeaky voiced bitches and a trance DJ who’s washed up in Europe having the time of their lives, or a fake boss and his Learjet flying over the Caymans.
would you rather listen to depressing music by someone who is also broke, sad, lonely, etc… and how you are both struggling, life sucks, and its not getting any better? LOL, what kind of logic. are you going to also not watch movies and tv shows that show people doing well for themselves and enjoying it? i mean i know what youre saying because i went through that back in like 03 maybe. i mainly listened to house and good rock with some hip hop, because i thought it was just too materialistic and condescending, and i use to be at the fleamarket every weekend coppin cd’s like they were going out of style for years before this.
03 came, i was broke, broken hearted, young, confused, angry, etc… you name it. once i did enough soul searching (long story), got a job, started hanging with my friends again new and old, and started going back out to newer places, meeting great people and beautiful women, i realized there is a balance to all that shit, and also ways of interpreting shit that doesnt always have to be negative.
nowadays, i’ll crank a track where a rapper says broke niggas can eat a dick, just as much as i’ll sit back and enjoy some frank sinatra. i just dont take it that serious. rap is entertainment, and the ultimate american dream is not to be broke and sad. in that process of elevating yourself financial, mentally, spiritually, etc… you usually tend to surround your mind with things that lean towards that goal. so although you might be the broke nigga in the track right now in a way, that doesnt mean you have to be, or will be forever. maybe one day you can sit back and bask in that track of hatin ass broke niggas who can eat a dick, because youve seen the change in people through your success.
i prefer to hear how great someones life is if im having a down moment. it gets me amped to try things i know but keep putting off out of fear, and or laziness. you could look at those rap lyrics that offend you as some tough love. dont tell me you cant handle a little tough love, and need people to hold your hand all the time through life and say, “taito, now you know they arent talking about you, so you just stay positive while mommy makes you some cookies”.
cmon son.
shit, ive been broke with 20 to my name until pay day, and just whatever is left in my fridge for the week, no extra shenanigans, but i didnt just crawl into a hole and be like, lemme come home from work to my apt, sit behind my computer and see if anyone online is as depressed as me and wants to talk. lol. id come in, make a drink, cook some oodles of noodles, go on youtube and see who was ballin in vegas lately, so i can try to get my mind to a better place with higher goals.
im sippin and ramblin. lemme stop before i get to preachin. stop being so serious nigga, and just change your life position to something better, even if you have to temporarily lower your standards in order to get where you want to get to so you can enjoy a jay z song without getting into some long political and social debate with friends. also, when in doubt and youve been in a drought, get some pussy. that shit motivates, even if only temporarily, which is what you need when your trying to get back on point.
Well the Tag 2 endings aren’t that great as expected. I hate that they made clowns out of Marduk and King because of Jaycee. There’s some funny endings like Dragonov’s and that’s it. Props to Harada for taking cheap shots at the movie with Lee/Violent and the “excellent”.
Alpha 3 endings are the shit
Also if I remember XvSF correctly, Dhalsims ending has a line where his wife says “Hurry up and eat your curry”, something like that
Sheeeit, Bryan Fury’s ending in… part 3? The shit was too awesome… dude runs through a tank shot like it was nothing… it didn’t even slow him down. Bryan proceeds to rip the top part of the tank off. Not much story there other than presenting how incredibly badass this guy was at the time.
Is my unbelievably annoying friend back to work yet? OF COURSE not! Ohhhh what fun this is!
*new commercial sexpot— there’s a seriously cute redhead on the latest Hyundai Elantra commercial.
Yeah, wasn’t your speakers. Honestly I don’t have a good ear for stuff like that, I am more of a fan of lyrics, but now that you pointed it out I definitely hear what you’re talking about. As long as you gave it a fair listen and didn’t hate it : :tup:
That may have been one of the first fighting game endings I’ve ever seen and now Bryan is my character whenever I play a Tekken game.
When I quote somebody and try to highlight delete a large chunk of text it just doesn’t work. Happen to anybody else? It’s not just my computer either happens in both of the computer labs I haunt… weird stuff.
editx2: I fucked this post up twice, jesus… fixed now. i think
There’s just nothing alpha about job searching. Listening to somebody on the radio finding a million different ways to say “I’m the shit,” after you just got turned down at yet another interview. It just sounded false to me at the time. Fuck it I don’t have time to reply to all that text.
Ok, new television sexpots here… the dark-haired, apparently evil woman (the Queen?) from Once Upon A Time = GORGEOUS. I’d gladly be a Freak on a Leash for that. The blonde isn’t super-hot, but she’s reasonably ok… Oh yeah, this show just gained a new fan.
*ah, the younger dark-haired girl is quite alright too… yeahhhh this show might be one to keep tabs on.
