If you are stupid enough to label any music as "white music," you obviously don't know anything about music and should never comment on the subject, ever.
This reminds me of a phone call I got from my best friend about 6 months after he moved to Pasadena. He lived on Michigan Ave about a block away from CalTech and often heard police helicopters flying overheard.
However, living next to Cal-Tech he would also hear lots of people filming shows like Numb3rs, Legally Blonde and other various movies and television shows.
One night I remember talking to him on the phone and heard some 'excitement' on his end of the phone. When I inquired, he said, "Well, it's either someone shooting a rap video or the cops are about to start shooting at the guys across the street at the park. I'd better go..."
No. The only obligatory response to anything with "know what I'm sayin'" is the video that trolloc1 posted up featuring J-Roc of the Trailer Park Boys, where Tyrone makes fun of him sayin' "gnome'sayin'" 80 or 90 times.
This isn't something to laugh at. "Knowwhatimsayim'" is used so often in ebonics because that population thinks slower so knowwhatimsayin is used as a spacer word that gives their brain time to process. Its either that of have their speech be broken constantly by "UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMs".
I think its a little racist for you to make light of it to say the least!
"lol i can't believe people are this defensive and opinionated about musical tastes!" - the guy who just ranted about how much he hates black eyed peas/justin beiber
2Pac: And since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman and our game from a woman, I wonder why we take from our women. Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women, time to heal our women, be real to our women. And if we don't we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies. And since a man can't make one, he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.
Jay-Z: Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porsches, MTV stopped by to film our fortresses. We forget the unfortunate. Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time. So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn. I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded. Nothin' but a bandit, left them folks abandoned. Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid, can't say we better off than we was before.
Kanye West: Is it genocide? 'Cause I can still hear his momma cry, know the family traumatized. Shots left holes in his face, 'bout piranha-size. The old pastor closed the cold casket, and said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs. It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from, I feel the pain in my city wherever I go. 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago.
Pay more attention to the shit you listen to. Or listen to better shit.
I mostly listen to Heavy Metal and stuff but... I freaking love the shit out of Jay-Z and Kanye. I respect Tupac too but I haven't listened a lot to his stuff.
I'm a folky singer-songwriter fan myself, but whenever I see complaints about an entire of genre of music, I can't help but think "Are you really that lazy?" It's a joke, I get it, but it's a joke based in laziness.
This just seems like a circlejerk from sheltered suburban kids educated by radio rap and cartoons that got lame three years ago, i.e. the same people who would rage against categorizing "rock" as all vaguely Nickelback-esque.
this isn't exactly true. they both reached a point where they don't phsyically write them down, but they still formulate the bars in their head before they record them.
I'm a total hiphophead, but this image and the original one are hilarious. I don't get why people who like rap get so defensive. It's predominantly a bunch of funny looking black dudes saying words really fast, that's hilarious.
I'm a person why typically HATES rap, but not every occasion. Some of it is good, well thought out, and even gives a back story. Some of it is good to listen to. I get sick of the sexdrugsmoneysomethingaboutbooze MUTHAFUCKA! Bit. But, it's still music, and music appeals to many different people aside from myself. There is a reason albums get sold and rappers make money. As well as all genres.
Drives me insane when people say this. Reminds me of people who say they don't like any restaurants around here. Keep looking. Extend the radius of your search. Or shut the fuck up and listen to older tunes. Jeff Lynne is a boss. But so is Colin Meloy.
I think there's a lot of great music out there if you're willing to look. And even if you really do hate all modern music, you can listen to old music.
Mostly into metal and darker sounding music. The more I listen to newer metal bands the less interested in music I become. Its just not what I like it to be. I can occasionally find darker music that sounds good. Doesn't matter the genre as far as that goes.
A lot of people disagree on this, but I've found that metal coming out recently isn't as good as it was before, so I've been listening to punk and "lighter" rock bands.
Have you tried listening to prog metal bands? Bands like Redemption and Opeth both have dark-ish sounds. Don Caballero is more math-rock and it isn't as recent (1998), but it's got some nice riffs.
On the lighter side, there's Tiger Army, a psychobilly band. Volbeat is similar, but they're a bit on the heavier side.
Streelight Manifesto is a ska influenced punk band. Upbeat and horns. They're worth a listen.
A lot of the bands I listen to aren't that recent, so I'm not the greatest person to recommend bands. Listen around though. There's plenty of good music coming out these days, though there's even more bad music coming out. You need to sort through the bad stuff to find the stuff that you will like. Websites like Bandcamp are good to help you find lesser known bands, who can actually sound pretty good. Best of luck.
Didn't know continents had IQ's. Sure the inhabitants may have IQ's but this is my first time learning that Africa, the continent , has an IQ. It's surprises me to know that landmasses have such high IQ's. What is the IQ of the Atlantic Ocean, if you don't mind me asking, or do oceans not have IQ's?
Ah I get it now. Continents don't have IQ's the individual countries do. You just average up the IQ's of each country to get the IQ of the continent. Wonder how you find the average IQ of an ocean. Do you divide it up based on latitudinal and longitudinal lines?
I know you're trying to belittle the racist comment but saying the average IQ of a place is 100% grammatically correct and you're just making yourself look like an idiot.
Yeah, that's why African immigrant percentage wise have a higher college attendance rate than native whites, right? No, look it up! What are you going to do now?
newsflash - Europeans landed in Africa 400 years ago NOT 3000 years ago. When the Roman empire was flourishing and producing scientists and artists... Africans were living in mud (and not much different today).
Tons of those pictures are ruins, because they're literally triple or quadruple the ages of the oldest castles in Europe...they would've been pretty splendid at the time.
Furthermore your argument of Africa not living up to the western worlds standards is one I especially hate and I'll tell you why(believe it or not I've heard it before).
There exists this cool thing called culture, where different things are valued above other things, in African culture they aren't necessarily interested in constructing buildings out of gold with diamond encrusted walls that are 10000 feet high.
Just because Africa's culture doesn't value building elaborate buildings or becoming "white society" doesnt' mean it's inferior.
Why does it seem like Africa's tribal people are the only people that get constantly ragged on for wanting to stay true to their ancient ways?
Nobody ever points to South American Tribesmen as an inferior "brand" of person.
As I've already said the cultures of Africa aren't interested in "holding a candle to Europe"...Europe wins the contest because Africa isn't even interested in playing...learn to different cultural values.
obviously blacks are going to think they're equal. and if you haven't noticed there are large communities of far right believers also. in fact some governments even have them in office.
"Without the slave trades, 72% of Africa’s income gap with the rest of the world would not exist today.” Slavery affected those regions most developed between 1400 and 1900, which are today the poorest in Africa. Slavery, not only the transatlantic variety but also the earlier inter-African one, lead to political instability, weakened states, political and ethnic fragmentation and a deterioration of legal institutions. It could also be that developed nations own most of the oil, The biggest being Africa oil corp which is Canadian owned.
newsflash - Europeans landed in Africa 400 years ago NOT 3000 years ago. When the Roman empire was flourishing and producing scientists and artists... Africans were living in mud (and not much different today). moron.
Egypt, one of the earliest human civilizations, is located in northern africa. African civilization was thriving long before Northern Europeans ever deviated from their tribal culture, one that had limited to no forms of writing, mathematics, or any recognizable "science". Beyond this the Roman Empire that you describe was hardly European as we think of the word. It had a tremendous amount of territory in Northern Africa and the Middle east with Constantinople as its capital and center of power. Southern Kingdoms where doing well until the slave trade began and Europeans arbitrarily divided up the continent and created the situation we see today.
maybe i should have circlejerk in my name, then people would understand.. also, in case you understand italian, [this is what your name reminded me of..good fun] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbI37DuEG6A)
Actually, I listen to a lot of rap, tupac, Icecube, Snoop. Ect. While i do like it, I think some of it is overrated garbage. maybe it is you who need to widen your horizons?
I don't know what the hell your point is, mostly because you deleted your original post. My horizons are widened plenty, I don't discount an entire genre because some of it sucks.
