But at least you acknowledge they can sing too.
I HATE E.1999 Eternal. That was such a horrible follow-up to the far superior Creepin on 'Ah Come Up. The only good song on Eternal is Shotz to the Double Glock.
The worst part of Eternal was the fact that Bone has incredible rappers (especially Bizzy) who for some reason decided to stop flexing their skills that album.

What annoys me in threads such as these, is everyone thinks they know what the best of everything is. If the best stuff is considered art, and art is subjective, how the heck can anyone tell someone else that what they like sucks? If you don't like it, that's you. I listen to what I like, and that's it. I don't need a rap music epicure to critique my tastes.

The OP has continually slammed rap in the past, and he was called out for posting something that was not rap as his shining example of the best of genre.
I hear this argument a lot. And it makes sense. No one should tell you what to like. But in this argument you also find it's big faults. Look who is showing you what to listen to: THE RADIO! who says they have the right to force songs down your ears??? it goes both ways.
Not all people are music junkies and this plays into the hands of radio/pop stations quite easy. THey get you to like poppy songs like this because it is catchy.
What we are saying is don't consider something great if you haven't explored other venues of the true hip hop genre![]()
I wish I could! I only heard 30 secs to a minute before it ended. It's got a somewhat slow beat, laidback, and the rapper isn't rapping too fast or slow, but he namedrops Slipknot, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and a few other older metal bands. If I could narrow it down more, I would.![]()
Didn't Kid Cudi get tasered at NBA all-Star weekend for wearing Nike's at a Reebok sponsored party?![]()
Wow a little defensive? First of all I have never slammed rap in any thread. What you're probably refering to is when I get pissed that rappers keep coming on ESPN as if they have any credibility on the subject. Second, please point out to me where I said that this song is the best of its genre. I NEVER DID. Now I do think I wasn't as clear as I should be, all I was comparing it to was what comes on the radio. I mean the only rap cd that I even own is dr.dre's 2001 album so all I go on in my argument is the radio and music videos that I sometimes see late at night.
this song(by cudi boy) sucks big time
If I have you confused for someone else, then my bad. There's someone on this board who makes really derogatory posts about hip-hop music and culture every time it's brought up here.
Bump...
I know I'm a bit late, since he's about to release his next album, but besides this song... this album is pretty good.....
