Ask Me About Hip Hop

[Ynot]

got a (serious) question? Go for it.....

[TweaK]

WHY IS IT SO GHAY?!!?!?!?~``11`1&#9 6;1`111oneone1`shift+1 Why do most rappers/groups/whatever suck so, yet N.E.R.D. rocks so hard?

[Riff]

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

[Ynot]

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. ~Vox.

[Ynot]

Atmosphere doesn&#39;t have a forum and neither does Slug (which is a real shame) there&#39;s a couple of interviews with Slug floating about the net but they don&#39;t go into much detail to be honest I&#39;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&#39;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 &#39;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 &#39;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]

"Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird" This one sounds brilliant !!!

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.

[Ynot]

you answered your own question however your average 50cent/Britney-spears mentally retarded kid decides what hip-hops gets shown on tv.[/b]

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

[Neruo]

[Artelis]

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.

[Ne-yo]

What the Hell ever happen to MC BRAINS??

[Neruo]

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.[/b] Exactly. - I am still going to spit in your soup. Your Anthrax-Soup.

[King and God]

I have one: is there any hip hop song that is actually decent?

[Indecent Exposure]

Yes

[King and God]

Which one(s)?

[Indecent Exposure]

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 Imran

[Neruo]

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.

[Oneironaut Zero]

Rage, collectively, is a rock/rap hybrid. (and one of my favorite bands, actually. ) I have one: is there any hip hop song that is actually decent?[/b] 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.

[Jess]

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!

[Riff]

Now, what is a "Nappy Headed Hoe" ?
