At least A Perfect Circle and Tool will have no material coming around the corner.

What!?

Yeah, that’s what this local radio gal said a week or two ago. She said Maynard was talking with the rest of APC about more material, and that the plan was to get new Tool stuff going at some point as well.

Ahh…ok…you meant “new” material.Cool…but I hope any new Tool stuff will make me forget this recent album.[/quote]

Yeah I had to edit it. Too tired to type the wuuurdz I entend 2 wryt.

K, eyem gettin’ sleep.

It’s all fucking noise.

New classic music? All they do is sample classic music and rap over it about the same old tired shit.

  1. Bitches and Ho’s
  2. Guns (so incredibly phalic, and they don’t even realize it.)
  3. Some kind of alcohol
  4. Weed[/quote]

lol ur old

soulja boy has a video game and movie coming out.

soulja boy > your life

Jason Friedberg has put out multiple movies (disaster movie, epic movie, etc), doesn’t mean he doesn’t suck as a director.

I don’t care what video game he has coming out, or how much money he has made off of white high school girls buying ringtones, his music sucks and he doesn’t belong even talking about hip-hop.

It wasn’t just white high school girls. It was all of us who liked that song at first. lol… atleast in my highschool. We all knew the dance too…

i don’t know what you’re talking about. soulja boy didn’t even come close to killing hip hop.

and as far as modern rap and hip hop are concerned, they don’t suck, you guys are just listening to shit. any hip hop from a major label will almost always suck. just find better artists.

soulja boy makes music you put on at a party to get everyone dancing.

i really dont get how it bothers you that much? i would rather listen to soulja boy over nas anytime im at the club or a party or even just hanging out being a goof.

I agree actually, and here’s why. Soulja Boy isn’t traditional/urban rap, it’s pop/dance rap. It is what it is. It’s stuff for girls to shake their asses to and guys to grind their semi-hard dicks on said asses. Now if I’m just hanging out and want to listen to some traditional rap, I’d throw some Nas on. If I’m having a party and want semi inebriated girls to have an excuse to act silly and dance around with their boobs jiggling, I put on soulja boy.

Calling Soulja Boy out for killing ‘real’ rap is ridiculous because it’s not ‘real’ rap. Just like calling Nas out for not making club bangers is ridiculous because he doesn’t make ‘club’ rap.

You have people literally judging an entire genre of music by the crap that gets played on the radio 5,000 times a day(which for the record seems to be getting worse).

If we did the same to rock music, they would immediately cry foul.

Did you even read the link or title of this thread? No one said soulja boy killed hip-hop, we said soulja boy doesn’t belong running his mouth about hip-hop when he doesn’t even make hip-hop.

If you like soulja boy, thats fine… you suck as a person and I hope I never have the displeasure of being forced to hang out with you, but thats fine… but soulja boy doesn’t have the musical talent that NAS has in his right hand.

Laying down a beat and mumbling shit isn’t hip-hop. It’s a jumble of noises that sounds good to someone that doesn’t really listen to music will enjoy. Hip-hop should have a meaning, and in order to have a meaning you have to understand what is being said.

Little Brother is good hip hop

Lupe Fiasco’s albums are great music

Common’s new album (while not his best) is FAAAR better than any new hip hop that’s been put out

Soulja boy is good for something (ie dancing at a club and giving you something to make fun of because it IS absolutely mindless shit)

There’s good shit out there, you just gotta know where to look …

Yea, there’s lots of good hip-hop out there.

Immortal technique, jedi-mind tricks, nas, Tupac (shouldn’t he be releasing a new album soon?).

Word. The problem is that we have groups of listeners that are wading through piles of shit expecting to find a diamond. While others are collecting the shit just because it shines when light hits it.

But that’s most people, whether it’s restricted to one genre or music in general. When 95% of the population has no idea what hip-hop really is, it’s safe to say hip-hop is dead. Guys like Nas and Immortal Technique barely scratch the surface.

With Relapse and detox supposed to come out later this year I don’t think hip hop is dead quite yet.

Because in Nas’s right hand… is a gun.

Funny, it seems that when they do that to hip-hop, people immediately cry foul too.

How remarkable.
