does anyone actually care what gary floyd listens to every day? what does gary floyd do for a living that allows him to listen to 9 albums a day?

anyone else like the little joy album?

they should make a john coltrane biopic about his last phase of music. that would be interesting. all biopics are lame. except i'm not there. but i liked that for selfish reasons.

why, though? Because its actually bad or because rap fans say its bad because he's not rapping?

Nice try, what? Where did I say anything about people not dogging Dre for that album? In fact, where did I even MENTION that album? but thats my point. you said he changes his style musically and stylistically with every album. and when he made his biggest change, rap fans turned on him. you proved my point without actually mentioning the album.

Not really. Rap fans wanted Dre to rap again because...he's a really great rapper. Crazy, huh? And it's not a case of wanting him, or other rappers for that matter, to say the same thing on every album. Few artists have changed up their style from one album to the next as much as OutKast, both musically and stylistically. Dre's guest verses over the last two or three years are evidence of his ability switch up his subject matter and garner praise from rap fans across the board. andre 3000 was shit on by rap fans for the love below. nice try, though. dr dre can rap about whatever he wants. but if he radically changed his production style on detox it would get shit all over. guarenteed. or if dr dre started producing songs for lady gaga or whoever the fuck.

is anyone gonna use the example of radiohead? oh ya/.

each of daft punk's albums have been very much different from one another. a lot, actually. and the fans enjoyed discovery just as much as homework. the only thing they have in common is that people can dance to them. everything else was much different. thanks for proving my point, though. there are a lot of variations of metal wich appeased a wide array of fans. there isn't that in rap. its just rap. and the weak shit where rappers complain about other rappers. but its all rap. no growth allowed. and i like rap. but don't sugarcoat it.

ick

ugh

come on. nas gritty little rap shtick has been going on a little too long. have some fun, nas. real rap fans? now you're blurring the lines. they just want the same old shit. anytime anyone like outkast or snoop tries anything different they get blasted. just like how everyone puts down andre 3000 and begs him to rap again. they don't want their artists to evolve, they want them to stay the same and do the same thing. rap. maybe rap stars don't want to rap. but thats what "real rap fans" want. hence, real rap fans aren't music fans, they are rap fans. which makes them the worst.

rap fans are the fucking worst. they're the only people who never want their musical genre to progress and do anything new and exciting. they just sit on their ass and hope for illmatic and aquemini to be made over and over again by their respective artist. this album isn't mind blowing, but its not bad. kanye should be applauded for doing something new instead of lord i'm hard as fuck curry trashing it because its not rap. even czech likes it. and even if you don't like it, don't trash the guy for actually taking a risk. look at mobb deep. ya. nas? been making the same album for almost 15 years. boring. i like rap. i even like nas. but serious rap fans can be fucking annoying.

will everyone please shut up about metallica. fuck.

agreed. dyer maker rules, man. rainy day woman is my least fav dylan song from the classic era. the only thing close to a mistep on blonde on blonde, actually. i could say gimme shelter by the stones is up there. never liked.

nate robertson is just so awful. so awful. dave dombrowski saved this team from being the worst franchise in baseball but lately he's laid a few eggs with longterm contracts (inge, robertson, dontrelle, guillen). yes carlos guillen, he's a fine player but he is in a bit of a decline. i can't see him beign worth his contract in 2 more years.

everything. paul's boutique is actually probably the worst for me now. i can maybe listen to some of their groove holmes rip off instrumental jams from check your head or ill communication. i'd choose the latter if i had to pick ONE album of there's that didn't drive me sorta crazy. i used to love those guys. though give me some 'she's on it'. oh ya!

thats the funniest thing ever. haha pavano. haha

whatchoo talkin' bout

its the ultimate high school music. nearly every kid (i guess mostly stoners) like punk rock, reggae, and hip hop. i guess sublime had all that. one band i can't really stomach that i used to love are the beastie boys. arrgh. i can still handle me a little santeria but not no sleep til brooklyn.

del and dinosaur jr? nuff said. judgement night movie and soundtrack ruled. definately. check out ari gold's receding hairline.

i used to love the shit outta sublime. i dont' care for 'em not so much because i think they suck but because i listened to them too much in high school. if they kept making records i dunno where my opinion would lie.

i was talking about metallica over the past 15 years or so. not their 80's stuff.

the first two weezer albums are still great. pinkerton's popularity has obviously been amplified by the characterization of it. but i enjoy the rivers/matt sharp musical interplay. the blue album is just fun. why deny yourself fun because weezer has been dropping musical turds for the past 10 years? deny surf wax america? ok, the sweater song blows. but you know...

i can't believe people still care about metallica. aren't fans tired of being dicked around by these assholes? all they've done is disappoint their fanbase time after time. every album these people get excited, and wham, they realize once again that metallica fucking sucks.
