Ayumi Hamasaki - Marionette

probably my favourite J-Pop song at the moment, except maybe for Sorairo Days

10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

I even said that, there newest album is very little black metal, and a big sell out. WHen was this interview? 2007?

anways, lets just agree to disagree

Into Eternity - Suspension of Disbelief

fusion of a atleast 4 metal sub genres, absoluterly amazing stuff

8.5/10

[Sea of Time]

Bryan Adams - When You're Gone

A famous Canadian songwriter collaborating with a Spice Girl? How can you go wrong!

7/10

[Laharl]

[Eugine]

lol ihk, I saw 2/10 at first and was "wth is he praising this song then?" x3. Then... I realised it was 21.

[Sea of Time]

30 Seconds to Mars - Attack

Kind of rediscovering this band. Not having much success getting "way" into it though.

7/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Cannibal Corpse-Rape Her Virginity
Very good death metal, and also f**ked up beyond all belief. 7/10.

[Caael]

Prince- Gett Off

This song is very weird, but it's awesome as well. He's got an amazing voice and has so many tones he can do. He can screech, he can growl like Barry White. I love this song.

8/10

[Sea of Time]

30 Seconds to Mars - From Yesterday

Still a pretty good song, but it goes from introducing verse to chorus a bit quickly for my liking.

7/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Snoop Ft. Game-Blood/Crip
I don't know if that is the real name, but that's what Limewire says. It is a very good colab, proveing that Bloods and Crips can get along. And they aren't just studio gangsters, Game was/is a Ceder Block Compton Blood, and Snoop was/is a Rollnig 20 Crinshaw Crip. 8/10.

[Eugine]

Alright. I don't know any of the rap songs you post.

With You - Chris Brown
Yeaah (party like a rockstar?). I think I posted here that I really love this song. 10/10

[Lightning Star]

Alright. I caved. I bought the new Avril Lavigne CD. Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and after listening to it a few times over, it's become pretty addicting.

Girlfriend- Avril Lavigne

*sings and head-bangs*

HEY HEY, YOU YOU, I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, NO WAY NO WAY, I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE!

[Laharl]

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Tsumi

Solid proof that win and awesome can exist as sound waves

10/10

[Caael]

The Glass Prison- Dream Theater

This is the big daddy of the Dream Theater songs. You dont get better than this in Prog Rock. 9/10

[Eugine]

Made of Steel - Our Lady Peace
This and Innocent are my favourite OLP songs. Both have really good vocals and lyrics, while the drums and guitar is excellent. Perfect song imo =)

10/10

[Gardna]

Kid Koala - Bender

10/10

Listening to his music is funnier than browsing 4chan and I can say that only about few artists/bands (:

[Drizzy Drake]

Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Flowmotion 2
Made 15 years after the original, and proves that BTNH are the best rap group, ever. 8/10.

[Saturos S.]

Andrea Bocelli - Vivo Per Lei
Nice, relaxing song. Simply beautiful.

9.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Bone Thugs N Harmoney Ft. 2Pac-Thug Luv
They actualy did this song with 2Pac, unlike all those rappers today. Great song. Bizzy rips it. 8/10.

[Moonear]

Gorillaz-5/4
Funny song from their first album which IMO was their best. Man, they are so weird.
8/10

[Drizzy Drake]

How do they play concerts?

[Moonear]

Idk, I've never been to one of their concerts.

[Drizzy Drake]

Meh.

[Drizzy Drake]

2Pac-BMB
BMB is a tatoo that he has which means Blood Member Blood. Everybdoy knwos that 2Pac was a blood, and in tihs he represents. 7/10.

EDIT-Sorry, didn't notice the double post.

[Gardna]

Vast - Pretty When You cry

I can't exactly describe the feeling it gives me, but I like it.

9/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Jadakiss-Checkmate
Best 50 Cent diss out there. Over 50's Animal beat. Ya, Jada RIPS this beat, while 50 sucked the life out of it. 9/10.

[Laharl]

Opeth - Wreath

****ing love Opeth!! Progressive Death metal at its finest, Mikael Akerfeldt is one of the best vocalists ever

8.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Eminem-Bully
Benzino who? Em rips Benzino apart. Benzino's carreer was over after Em released the 4 diss songs on the one Mixtape. 8/10.

[Laharl]

Nobuo Uematsu - The Mines of Narshe

Final Fantasy VI OST, that's old school *****es!!

16 bit sound ftw

6.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Ya but FF7 sountrack>any other Final Fantasy soundtrack.

Styles P-Ghost Stories 2
Sick 40 bar verse from Styles P. The beat isn't the best. 7/10.

[Laharl]

FF VIII, IX, X OSTs > FF VII OST

Nobuo Uematsu - Tina's Theme

either this or Clash on the Big Bridge from FFV gets my vote for best piece of final fantasy music in the pre VII era

9/10

[Sea of Time]

Alice in Chains - Rooster

Very good song that I failed to recognize at the Three Days Grace concert last night, when Adam Gontier played an acoustic version. Chorus is good but the verses don't hold my attention.

7/10

[Drizzy Drake]

DJ Breeza-Get Back Hardcore Till I Die Remix
AMAZING Happy Hardcore dj. Saw him play a show with Breeze&Styles in Toronto in September, and wow, was it intense. So, many, lights. 8/10.

Vey beat driven Happy Hardcore song. 175 BPM, which is fairly fast. 8/10.

[Eugine]

Critical Acclaim - Avenged Sevenfold
The only hard rock group I like x3. I don't even know if they are hard rock, but they are awesome, and so is this song
9/10 ^^.

[Sea of Time]

Seether & Amy Lee - Broken

I've forgotten about this song and how great it was at the time it came out. Now that Evanescence has faded and their older stuff looks a lot better, this song goes right along with it. It was also great live with Three Days Grace replacing Amy Lee. Great, great ballad.

10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Eminem-Soldier
Best song on The Eminem Show, definetly. Hard hitting lyrics, and a great bass driven Dre beat. 8/10.

[Laharl]

Aya Hirano - God Knows...

9/10

Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Power Of A Smile
A rap version of 2Pac's poem of the same name. VERY good, and proves that Bone Thugs have a good range of rap. 8/10.

You need a song in every post, that's the point of the topic. Music discussion happens elsewhere.

[Drizzy Drake]

Hypocrite.



Don't hit.


D12-Smackdown
Diss to Royce Da 5'9. Neither Proof nor Em are in this song, because it was kind of personal because Royce was Proof and Em's good friend in Detroit. 7/10.

[Laharl]

Carcass - Die in Pain

these song names crack me up XD

i actually prefer doom metal to this and that's saying something

7.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Jadakiss Ft. T.I, Styles P, Stat Quo-Kiss Of Death Remix
Very Green Lantern remix. Stat and Jada come real hard o nthis song. Chorus is dope. 8/10.

[Moonear]

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar
I don't really listen to rap, but the chorus really caught my attention. Lupe is actually a pretty good rapper.
10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

That post made me listen to...

...Lupe Fiasco-Kick Push
Lupe actually skatebords, and well, and this song is all about skateboarding. 6/10.

[Moonear]

^ That song is great

Lupe Fiasco - I Gotcha
I'm really starting to like this guy. His beats are original (but this one was produced b the neptunes) and he doesn't rap about money or drugs or violence.
9/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Terry Kennedy-Baker Tre(3)
Another Rapper/skateboarder. He has a very good style of rapping, and a preatty good flow. Compton boy turned skater, now I've seen everything.

[Laharl]

Carcass - Crepitating Bowel Erosion

pleasant imagery ftw!

Their death metal stuff is better

6/10

[Mallick]

In flames - Crawl Through Knives

IN FLAMES WE TRUST!

10/10

[FlamingDuck]

Eugine: It looked like you said: "The only hard rock group I like x 3" As in multiplied. I'm such a loser.

Sherry and Her Butterfly Net - The Most Serene Republic

With its long name, this song is pretty awesome. I've never really heard of this band before. Not that surprising actually.

[Drizzy Drake]

A Static Lullaby-This Savage Garden
The name of the song is from Anne Rice's books. They are a very good, but very unknown, screamo band. 7/10.

[Eugine]

Be Prepared - The Lion King
This is probably my favourite Lion King song cuz the lyrics, vocals and beat is just mad good. 10/10

We'll have food! Lots of food

[Elliott]

In Flames - Morphing Into Primal

Whoracle > All albums (especially the last 3 In Flames releases).

Rating: 9/10

[Laharl]

great to see you back Agatio ^^

Kalmah - Defeat

best melodeath band going? quite possibly seeing as Norther ****ed up and Wintersun hardly release anything. Kokko's guitar and Sneck's keyboard work is amazing

10/10

[Elliott]

New Wintersun album this year hopefully! He sure is taking is time. If you dig melodeath I urge you to look into a local band called Be'lakor from Melbourne, they're definitely going places :ph34r:

Autumn Leaves - The Reign Supreme

Real early In Flames worship through and through. Some pretty great riffs here though.

Rating: 7/10

[Laharl]

i'll be sure to check em out, got a link?

new Wintersun album 'Time' should be out in Spring ^^

Eternal Tears of Sorrow -Another Me

another of my favourite melodeath bands, very keyboard heavy but in a way that doesnt end up sounding like Children of Bodom, really underrated band, essential for fans of MDM

9/10

They are preatty good.

Everlea-Let Go
They are a Kingstonian screamo band, and they are very good. They toured with Silverstein for a little bit. 7/10.

[Laharl]

Galneryus - Shiver

Galneryus are the most technically skilled band in the world in my opinion with only Sonata Arctica rivaling them really, makes popular power metal like Dragonforce and Hammerfall look rather lame. Syu is my god

8.5/10

[Eugine]

Haruka Kanata - Asian Kung-Fu Generation
The second opening for Naruto. The vocals and great, and the bass line is simply amazing. The bass line also makes this song really unique. This is pure talent.

Power to Naruto and its awesome openings and endings.

10/10.

[Drizzy Drake]

Dr Dre Ft. Eminem-Forgot About Dre
EVERY rap fan knows the lyrics to this song. It is a classic. An amazing beat from Dre himself, insane verse from Em, and preatty good verses from Dre(even though Em ghostwrote them). Every rap fan should have this song. 10/10.

[Laharl]

Sonata Arctica - Misplaced

such an amazing band, the very best you can get with Power Metal, just all round amazingness, Tony Kakko is one the best clear vocalists in existence, and Jani Liimatainen is my other god, best guitarist in the West easy.

9.5/10

[Saturos S.]

Kane - Rain down on me

Nice song, like the remix better though, but nice song.

7/10

[Laharl]

Sonata Arctica - Dont Say a Word

their best song in my opinion, great vocals and lyrics and a mind blowing double solo by Klingenberg (keyboard) and Liimatainen (guitar). top stuff

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=h2SGIzjgXzI

Beastie Boys - Paul Revere

Amon Amarth - Death in Fire

more lovely melodeath, this time Norse themed, great band, i have a rathered retarded friend who claims they are black metal....


8.5/10

[Sea of Time]

Neverending White Lights - Where We Are

Still just as good as the first time I listened to the CD.

9.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Blink 182-Aliens Exist
Definetly in their top 5 songs. Very good riffs, and the lyrics are jsut hilarious but also serious at the same time. 9/10.

[Sea of Time]

Blue October - Into the Ocean

Pleasantly different from the average rock tune. That's really all I have to say about this one.

8/10

[Laharl]

Katatonia - Sleeper

light metal with a crappy singer, not very impressed

5.5/10

You Don't Have to Call - Usher
Reallly old song, but awesome none the less. This song reveals the great vocals Usher has, something every R&B artist must have to be liked by me.

Juelz Santana-Murder
He murders this track. See what I did there. Ya. Well, his verses are sick, and his flow is better than par on here. 8/10.

I'm not a punk
I'm Scarface coked up
You know what
*Sniff*I think I need another hit
*Sniff*You know who you ****ing wit

[Laharl]

i like the other Santana :/

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Mizutama RAMUNE

quite why japanese artists feel the need to capitalize everything is beyond me, great track regardless

8.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

The other Santana is alright, but not great.

When Legends Fall-Death, Destruction, Chaos, Filth And Greed
Amazing screamo band, but they are fairly unknown. The name is obviously from American History X. 7/10.

[Laharl]

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Tsumi

too much win, superb vocals, decent instruments, just amazing

10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Frontline Warriors
The words these guys rap go by faster than Sonic when he has to pee. God these guys can rap fast. 9/10.

[Eugine]

Wine Red - The Hush Sound
Beautifully written lyrics, and great combination of male and female vocals; their different tone compliments each other.
The song is a bit short and repetitive though.

The sea is wine red, this is the death of beauty.

8/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Bullet For My Valentine-Tears Don't Fall
Amazing power balad from a great metalcore band. 8/10.

Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her concience(sp) calls
The guilty to come home

[redchi]

faithless - no roots

Haha I thought you'd like it. I'm just as baffled as you as to why they're unsigned, though the word on the grape vine is that they're amid discussions with a label at the moment. Second album is one the way, and the 3 tracks I've heard (live) so far tell me that it's going to be even more awesome than the first.

Detonation - [An Epic Defiance] - The Prophecy Unfolds

Pretty amazing Dutch melodeath.

Rating: 9/10

Bisop Lamont-No Stoppin Carson
He is Dre's newest protege, and he is living up to the hype. He has hard hitting lyrics, and over Dre beats, it jsut sounds perfect. 8/10.

Byrdman Ft. Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, Cam'Ron, JR Writer-The Byrdgang
The Byrdgang is a name for Dipset and Mo' Money, two rap crews that are good friends, and rap alot together. Great verses by everyone, but Cam'Ron could have used a better flow, becuase his flow in this song jsut didn't fit in with the beat. 7/10.

Ayumi Hamasaki - talkin' 2 myself

golden rules of pop music

Jadakiss Ft. Styles P, Sheek Louch-We'll always love Big Poppa

Quote

Soca, or soul calypso, is a form of dance music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago from calypso music. It originally combined the melodic lilting sound of calypso with insistent percussion (which is often electronic in recent music) and local chutney music. Soca music has evolved in the last 20 years primarily by musicians from Trinidad, Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, some bands from Saint Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica and the Lesser Antilles.

Really angry song, but fun to listen to. This is just an angry band in general.

Pieces - Sum 41
This was my anthem about two years ago, and I can still relate to this song somewhat. It's great to have bands like Sum 41 to give you life lessons and advise =)

[Drizzy Drake]

Blink 182>>>Sum 41. Though SUm is still good.

Ramstein-Du Hast
The chorus goes "Du hast mich" which I beleive is either "You have me", "I have you", "I love you", "You hate me". Something along those lines. It's a very good song, even in German. 8/10.

very few melo death bands can compare to Norther in their prime, brilliant vocals, lyrics, guitar and keyboard

The greatest f*cking song EVER. So great, that I'll swear for it. :] Yeah, it's just THAT good.

Okay, so in seriousness, the beat is fun and catchy, the words are fun and catchy, mike shinoda is the most 'mazn rapper, Chester bennington has the screaming voice of a god, and it's freakin' Linkin Park. You know it's got to be good.

[Caael]

Trogdor- Homestar Runner

This song is awesome! It's pretty funny as well, everybody should listen to it

[Drizzy Drake]

Dr.Dre Ft. Snoop Dogg-Still D.R.E

Underground rap group, that know how to rap. There are some insane multi's in here, and even a shot at 50 Cent :(. 8/10.

Panic! at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon

Very nice return single. The beat and rhythm is great, and the chorus with the horns is really catchy.

8/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Wait, you actually listen to PATD. MAY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELL YOU.

[Eugine]

Man I love that song Skidz =)

Purple Pills - D12
Fun song, but gets annoying easy...
5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Ha ya. If you notice EVERY Eminem album, and D12 album has their first single as a catchy, fun song, and the second single as a dark song.

Slim Shady LP-My Name Is, then Guilty Concious(sp)
Marshal Mathers LP-Real Slim Shady, then The Way I Am
Devils Night-Purple Pills, then Fight Music

And well, you get the point.

And yes that DJ Khaled song is dope. I really like having a rap fan here. <_<.

Bone Thugs N Harmoney Ft. 2Pac-Thug Luv
Best rap group of all time, and the best single rapper of all time. You can't get much better than this. 1995. 9/10.

[Moonear]

Common - Drivin Me Wild
One of the few rappers that I actually like. (the others being The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, and Wu Tang Clan)
8/10

[Drizzy Drake]

I find it funny that you don't really listen to rap, but two of the rappers you like (Common, and Lupe) are fairly unknown.

Props though for liking Canadian rapper Common, but you lose those props for liking Kayne West. Naw, I can't take away those props, you liking Common is just too awsome.

DL Incognito-Proof
Another sic Canadian rapper. PROOF, that rappers don't need to be about gangbanging, to be good. He does talk about drugs, but alot of non gangbangers do drugs. 7/10.

[Eugine]

Common is Canadian? Never knew...
And Kanye West pwns.

Hey Ya - OutKast
Love this song x3. Fun, and very artistic song.
10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Meh, his rapping kind of bores me.

Juelz Santana Ft. Cam'Ron, Jim Jones, JR Writer, Freaky Zeeky, Hell Rell, 40 Cal-Dipset Anthem
Long list of artists eh. This song is off the hook. Every rapper here brings an insane verse, and you can definetly tell they put everything they got into it. 9/10.

[Laharl]

At the Gates - Terminal Spirit Disease

one of the pioneers of melodeath therefore ****ing gods, nothing like some 1994 death metal to dismiss the horrors of rap

9/10

[Moonear]

The Roots - Web
Seriously some of the best rappers out there. Really underground, you probably have never heard of them. These guys lyrics are fantastic in every way and their beats are unique. Check them out, skidz. Underground pwns
9/10

I'm in a rap mood today.

<500>

[Drizzy Drake]

I have indeed heard of them. Scott Storch(now VERY big rap producer) was their keyboardist. <_<.

Royce Da 5'9 Ft. Eminem-Rock City
They are both Detroit rappers, and they were best friends, but **** happened in 2002, and they had a falling out. This is a sic song from when they still rapped together. 8/10.

[Moonear]

The Roots - Boom
Another sick song from The Roots. I actually think this is a continuation of Web. Props to the Roots.
9/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Props to IHK for knowing about some really good underground rappers.

Spider Loc-Bluetiful
Straight up, Rolling 60 Crip right here. Too bad he is with G-Unit Records, because he will surely fail, record sales wise. His lyrics though so far haven't been tampered with, and made ****, by 50. He is actualy the best rapper on GUR. 7/10.

[Laharl]

At the Gates - The Fevered Circle

top quality melodeath <_<

8.5/10

curious: why do rappers have such crap names?

[Moonear]

Wu Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)
A great rap group consisting of RZA, GZA, Ghostface Killah, Ol' Dirty Basta@rd, Method Man, and a few others. This song is great.
10/10

Cash rules everything around me

Eminem Ft. Redman-Off The Wall
This song is just that, off the wall hilarious ****. These two are great together. 7/10.

[Laharl]

creative doesnt mean not crap :/

At the Gates - All Life Ends [live]

awesome live performance from an awesome band

9/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Cannibal Corpse isn't crap? I think so. ALOT of Metal bands AND rappers have crap names, but names don't mean ****.

Styles P Ft. Sheek Louch-Day You Die
Styles P is a GREAT name. Styles Panerio. A mix between Robert Deniro and Al Pachino. But anyway. This song is great. The beat is very bland, and lets the lyrics run the song. 8/10.

[Laharl]

please remind me where i said crap name=crap artist as i have no recollection of saying such a thing, you do get crappy metal band names but it tends to be with the mainstream stuff

At the Gates - Kingdom Gone[live]

At the Gates are amazing live, i mean really ****ing good, despite this recording being from 14 years a go

8/10

Correct, I just got the new album last night, haven't had a chance to get the rest of their stuff, though that album is very impressive. Oh and by the way: 'The Unborn' > 'Liberation = Termination' <_<

Can't believe I hadn't listened to this EP before, quite impressive. Really captures their mid-era nicely.

not got the new album but do have their first 4, of which their first Cybersonic Superchrist is definately the best.

i'll be sure to check out the unborn, L=T was more of a random download than a rec >>

Dark Tranquillity - Punish my Heaven

DT are the most consistent band i know, Projector was a bit meh but everything else they've released has been top quality, this is no exception

9.5/10

Skidz made a typo x.x
Oh, and the hate against rap is getting annoying honestly. I should really start to complain about your metal music >>

Anyway,
Fairytale Gone Bad - Sunrise Avenue
Can't recall where Sunrise Avenue is from, but they are an awesome band. This is the only song I know from them, so if anyone recommend any other songs from them, tell me =)

[Drizzy Drake]

Ya. He could basically say that all the Metal is is people growling, and yelling at the top of their lungs. Yup, no talent there.

Metallica-Thee Unforgiven
Was just playing this on guitar, and decided to listen to it. Old, but always good. 8/10.

[Laharl]

anyone can talk fast into a microphone about ****, rough vocals take a considerable amount of skill to be able to do and to be able continue doing it for a sustained period of time.

i could continue commenting on the chasm of talent between metal and rap

.....

so i will

technical ability wih instruments in rap is none existant, whereas its expected in metal

i refuse to give credit to genre that generates a culture based on major lyrical themes of drugs, degradation and encouragement of murder.

when was the last time you heard metal artist was shot dead by a fellow metal artist?

Ensiferum - Iron

amazing fusion of melodeath and folk metal, the intro is ****ing badass

10/10

[Drizzy Drake]

I never said that Metal didn't take skill, because as you should know, I like metal and screamo, I was just pointing out what Eugine could say, and why it would make sense. But you are sterotyping rap. Not all rappers talk about drugs, and violence, and even if they do, it's what they grew up with. Alot of rappers grew up in bad neighbourhoods, and grew up knowing abotu drugs and violence. And really, ALOT of metal artists do drugs, so...

[Laharl]

drawing on personal experience is the big sign of a terrible lyricist. Who lack the ability to write about a subject without referencing it to their own ****ty lives. ****ing emo twats.

i am aware that lots of metal bands do drugs, the difference is they dont encourage a very suceptable auidience to do the same.

only a minority of rap artists dont cover the themes i mentioned, if it were the majority i might be more receptive to the genre

Ensiferum - Slayer of Light

8/10

[Drizzy Drake]

So talking about your life is bad, as apossed to what, tlaknig about **** you know nothing about?

Bishop Lamont-Wartime Is Now Scott Storch Remix
This song is amazing, and Scott Storch actually made the beat BETTER, which is hard, seeing as it was a Dre beat. 7/10.

[Laharl]

if define death and loss as "**** people know nothing about" then yes

ORIGA - Rise

weird blend of english, japanese and russian here that makes a great song. Tis the OP to Ghost in the Shell 2nd gig

9/10

[Elliott]

Who cares? Rap is ****, so just let it go. Oh and for the record Laharl, Euronymous was stabbed in the back multiple times by Varg Vikernes, as well as the suicides by Mayhem vocalist 'Dead' and Dissection frontman Jon Nödtveidt

Thorns - World Playground Deceit

Pretty good BM.

Rating: 7.5/10

[Drizzy Drake]

But they do talk abotu death and loss. Aot of rappers talk about that. So really, no. And don't say rap is ****. It is not. It may be your opinion that it is ****ty, but it isn't. No music genre is ****ty.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Hip Hop is great, rap isn't.

Currently listening to:

Bob Marley & the Wailers : Small Axe

Awesome song! The tune just won't leave my head.

'If you are the big big tree,
We are the small axe,
Ready to cut you down,
To cut you down.'

The lyrics are also related to slaverny, and I have a weak for protesting music. Anyways, this is one of my favorite Bob Marley songs, and I really could listen to it all day long. <_< 9.5/10

You obviously are sterotyping. I can say that I refuse to give credit to a genre that's all about satan and hell, but then that wouldn't really be a strong point would it?

When was the last time you heard a rap artist getting shot dead by a fellow rap artist?
When was the last time you heard a rapper dieing because of drug overdose? I can name numerous metal artists though. I don't see any rapper masturbating infront of their audience either... I don't see rappers drinking fellow members pee also... See? The sterotyping is really bad aint it? AINT A BETCH?

Wow. Yeah, I should base my lyrics on fairlytales. That's really dumb ;_;
I rather listen to lyrics which are real and personal, rather than fake and impersonal. Atleast I know it is coming from the heart...

Quote

Actually, the rap genre you are talking about is called gangsta rap. We all know the media laments on the bad, and ignores the good. That's why you only hear about the bad rappers.

I personally do not like rap, or any genre (except Alternative Rock), but I don't go sterotyping. I'm sure if I ask you to name a rapper, only 50 cent comes to mind x.x
I admit there are bad rappers, whom I do not like eg the G-Unit, but I don't base my opinion on other rappers due to this group x.x

[Moonear]

Eugine, those are amazing points, you get serious respect from me. As for laharl and Agatio, I can name you several artists who don't rap about things that you have mentioned. You don't have any strong points and you're just stereotyping.

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar
Amazing lyrics by Lupe Fiasco, along with a well sung chorus.
9/10

[Drizzy Drake]

Eugine, I love you. <_<.

And rap is with no musical talent, PFFTTT. Beats are HARD to create, good oens that is, and take alot of time, and fine tuning, to create them.

It's true, that 50 Cent will come to mind when you think of a rapper, but he SUCKS. The ONLY reason he is big is because his songs are catchy, that's IT.

It takes alof talent to rap aswell. Just like Metal, or ANY music genre, you need the voice, and not everybody has the voice for it. Donwload Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Flowmotion, and tell me that that doesn't take talent.

And true, alot of rap listiners smoke pot, but if you go to metal concerts, you will see SOOOOOO many acid freaks, E-Tards, coke/crack-heads, and so on. Look at ****nig Keith Richards, he sniffed blow with his father's ashes mixed in. Ya, that DEFINETLY puts out a good image. Or how abotu Ozzy, one of the biggest acid-freaks I have ever seen. He can barely talk anymore.




And if you are gonig to sterotype all rap as crap here are a few songs that are very good and are in NO WAY crap.

2Pac-Changes(This song should change ANYBODY's view on rap. This song is very powerful)
Eminem-Stan(Elton ****nig John did a duet to this song with Em, but he must be wrong, Em must be crap.)
Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Power Of A Smile
Juelz Santana-One Day I Smile
Fort Minor-Remember The Name(I don't liek them, but this song is actually preatty good)
Royce Da 5'9 Ft. Chino XL, Common-Enough Beef(Look at the name for christ sakes. Ya, that definetly glorifies violence.)
Jedi Mind Tricks-Animal Rap
Bone Thugs N Harmoney-Flowmotion(The fastest verse EVER recorded. 13.5 syllables a SECOND)


EDIT- IHK jsut brought up a great non-violent/drug advocating rapper. Lupe Fiasco is a skateboarder, but raps, and raps well.

[Elliott]

I don't want any part of this argument, I was merely expressing my opinion. As far as I'm concerned this argument is as dead as the argument of religion, no one's going to change anyone's mind, so why bother? I'll stick to what I enjoy, and you stick to what you enjoy. It's not as though I'm ramming metal down anyone's throat, and if I did I'd expect a retaliation, just as much as I'd give a retaliation if someone started invading my personal space with music I don't enjoy. As we are on a forum and no one can really force anyone to listen to music they don't enjoy, there's no need for an argument. That's just immaturity at it's peak. So moving on...

Týr - [Eric the Red] - The Wild Rover

Fantastic cover of an age-old drinking song. Nice syncopation in the drumming and the guitar tone suits the melody brilliantly. Solid clean vocal work as well, not sure what his name is as they've changed vocalists a few times I think, but man he can sing.

^ I'll have to look into it.

Hate - [Morphosis] - Omega

Refugee - Tribal Ink
Man, when Linkin Park new single came out, the LP fanbase exploded, and so did the music industry. In my frantic search for the single on Limewire, this song came up since it was branded as What I've Done on many P2P programs.

Fortunately, I like this song, so I'm not complaining ^^.

[Elliott]

Mithras - [Behind the Shadows Lie Madness] - Into Black Holes of Oblivion

Was just recently put onto this by a mate, quite impressive. The drumming is incredibly fast and technical as are the guitars. What's even more inspiring is that they are done by the same person. Vocals are a let down but the instrumentation makes up for it.

Flo-Rida ft. T-Pain - Low

This song has been everywhere in the past few weeks and I've got a few problems with it. First off, the beat is excellent, I mean EXCELLENT. It's some of the best trunk-pounding **** I've heard in years. But Flo-Rida simply does not fit with the song. It needs some faster rapping, so maybe someone who can rap faster? And the chorus is pretty bogus. So now all I have to do is wait for the radio to wear it out....
