ive been influenced by many bands from different genres. As long as the band has a unique sound to it (Aphex, Tool, NIN) I can get into it. |

just saw a top ten in a mag from Sayyid and Priest, now working as Airborn Audio without beans, both put 50 Cent as either their first or second choice. |
||||||||

|
|
well 50's hot but not that hot.. kind of a strange order if they put him first and not some other choices, but whatever.. at least they're men enough to admit who they're feeling. is this new project coming out on warp too? i think all 3 emcees signed solo deals with warp but maybe not.. |

50 cent is shit. |

things aren't so simple for those of us with open minds |

but 50 cent really is shit... |

as i said above... i'm not putting down your musical taste, just your lack of understanding and, more importantly, your complete resistance to "getting it".. art is meant to be appreciated, not pledged allegiance or resistance to. i'm not saying 50 cent is a great artist but he's hardly shit and it's really sad that people openminded enough to be into aphex or peter gabriel have to resort to such an us vs. the mainstream mentality instead of just trying to understand. |

50 cent is the last person on earth whose music can be considered art, all he talks about is fucking and drinking beer, i heard the whole album and its possibly one of the worst hiphop albums ever created--my opinion but explain to me how art = rapping about nothing creative, all of what he says has been done before in hiphop and even when it was done previously is a stupid excuse for making music....its just party music, and its not for me at all but im not going to stop anyone from listening to it. |

not exactly true ("all he talks about is.."), but even if it were, how is he any different from an M.O.P. or N.W.A., who are almost universally lauded? or from the godfather or any really good gangster film. i'm not saying 50 is an original or the best at what he does, just good and there's definitely some talent behind it, even if it's not my cup of tea. you don't have to be a fan of something to recognize its merits.. |

"art is meant to be appreciated, not pledged allegiance or resistance to. " That was one of the best statements I have heard here or anywhere else in a LONG time. Good job Tits. I personally am one who can sit down, smoke some herb and nerd out and listen to Draft 7.30 and enjoy and then afterwards go DJ at a house party, play 50 Cent, watch the girls lose it and be thrilled. There are different times for different things. In response to specifics: MOST great art is about fucking, drinking beer, fighting and killing. See: Homer, Shakespeare, et al. Also: Rap music is not text, it should not be interpreted solely as such. By doing so you ignore the fact that it is first and foremost MUSIC. |

totally agree with what you said about "There are different times for different things" (and incidentally also about what most great art is about). some people think it's really cool that i like almost all types of music (and i mean REALLY get into), others just have a hard time understanding how i can go from vic chesnutt to mogwai to ODB to dose one to slayer to boards of canada to spragga benz to tori amos, etc. etc. but for me it all has its place and function. |
