WHY IS IT SO GHAY?!!?!?!?~``11`1`1`111oneone1`shift+1

Why do most rappers/groups/whatever suck so, yet N.E.R.D. rocks so hard?

Where the hell did the lil' come from. Lil john aint that little.

I was thinking more on the musical / technical side of things
rather than ebonics :?

but, as far as I know
lil is a corruption of little
either it's purely descriptive (as in not large)
or as a mark of respect (son of) if your career was inspired by a particular person

Do you know any forum where the deep metaphors of the song "Atmosphere - Godlovesugly" are discussed? Because i am really interested in understanding what the hell did he mean. They sound really smart, but i want to know the meanings behind that.

Thanks.

Atmosphere doesn't have a forum
and neither does Slug (which is a real shame)

there's a couple of interviews with Slug floating about the net
but they don't go into much detail

to be honest
I'd take the lyrics and make your own mind up

<div align="center">"Godlovesugly"

I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
The one thing that i can guarantee
I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me
Been payin dues for a decade plus,
Before that i was just another face on the bus
Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies
Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large
Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car
Gonna go far, with charisma and skill
Until they put my face on a million dollar bill
Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word
Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird
And if you didnt hear, fuck whatevers heard
I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured
Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix
Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach knob creek
Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak
You fuckin freak
Now keep your days out my week
The world keeps a balance, through mathematics
Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted
Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain
Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly

[chorus]
God loves ugly...

Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo
I damn near had to steal the show
I stepped on the stage, who is it?
My names slug ive come to kill a couple minutes
Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other
So they can steal each others sound
If its all about gettin down with the get down
How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down?
Appears more clear in its simplest form
Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm
Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest
Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships
I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name
I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game
When the soldiers started runnin short on rations
I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin
Make it happen
And take this captain to the gallows
I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow
Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry
He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury
So give me some light, a little love and some liquid
Im gonna creep through the night
And put a plug in the spigot
And when the water grows
And the dam starts to overflow
Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly

[chorus]

Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen
Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream
Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams
Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff
Reality is just too much to bear with
Paranoid, walkin around careless
No wonder youre in love with your therapist
Go to sleep my little time bomb[/b][/quote]

Why do people with small penises think Money and Prostitution is cool? Seriously, why are all the well-know hip hop artists pure sell-out Crap? I think good hip hop exist, however your average 50cent/Britney-spears mentally retarded kid decides what hip-hops gets shown on tv.

Why are all the artists and the forefront of their genre sell-outs? Oh, right, because you have to sell-out to get there.

Yes, but it didn't used to be THIS bad, and rap/hip-hop is the biggest sell-out-shit ever.

no no, Ynot, I think he means the sell-outs of the genre are worse than the sell-outs of other genres. I suppose this I can agree with a bit.

03-27-2007, 01:22 PM
Yes

King and God
03-27-2007, 01:25 PM
Which one(s)?

Obviousy it is a amtter of opinion
but if you find that you dont ejoy hip-hop and the negative mssage it portrays I suggest you try immortal technique

if your issue is the musical content, I suggest you try something old school like the Beastie Boys =D
and if your into sliglty heavier music but you want to epxericne rap vocals, i denftely suggest Rage Against the Machine

In my eyes the greatet band, ever

Let me know how those suggestions go

Rage against the machine is great. If you call it rap, I guess rap is good.

However, 'normal' rap all sucks balls. It has to be crap to become 'normal', mainstream.

Rage, collectively, is a rock/rap hybrid. (and one of my favorite bands, actually. :content:)

Define your perspective of "decent," and maybe I can help you out.

Edit: or rather, maybe I can help you out also, as not to step on Ynot's toes. :content:

Are you going to see The Sugar Hill Gang tomorrow night at Rhythm Factory?

EDIT: Well, I went and it was awesome, they put on a good show considering their age!
