This new G-Eazy track is really really good. Everyone should listen to it, really got me at the ending. Makes you think.

I get why some of y'all don't like the Soul record. It scratches that itch for that introspective shit we just haven't had this year, especially on production like this.
Kendrick does need to stop yelling so much though and put out a goddamn record before people forget him.

I remember watching a VH1 Behind the Music () a couple years ago where Hetfield was talking about fan backlash. (Paraphrasing) "We used to hear, 'You sellouts,' from the fans, 'We're done supporting you,'" He was talking about the fucking music video to One
. Not only does that demonstrate general metalhead neckbeardery, it perfectly encapsulates how oblivious these guys were to outside opinions. I mean just look at this shit:
That is fucking insane. How do you bring yourself to care about the whims of your old fanbase after you crush the buildings like that?
Metal fans suck in general and have some of the lowest music IQs amongst fans of any genre. AJFA is a hard fucking record. Even the Black Album isn't some pussy album, I'll never understand the "sell out" calls for that shit when it features some of their hardest riffs.
god damn esch, i'm sorry for your loss. i have a friend that i grew up with who is mad heavy into drugs and i've told him a few times he needs to cut it out (seriously, his life goal is to get "fucked up" and he has gotten one of my other friends into it as well). i hung out with him and the other friend that has gotten into it a few weeks ago and it was a miserable time, just because i realized that i've grown up ever since we graduated high school and they haven't. having "fun" is cool every once in a while, but don't make it your life
Don't chime in on shit you don't know about.
It's not about how 'hard' something is. It's about the structure, the composition. And The Black Album was a simplified version of their previous work. Can't blame them, they lost their major writing talent in Cliff and only had so much time left before they became mediocre anyway. Metallica was never the smartest band though. They had occasional flashes of brilliance here and there (Orion, etc). But they were basically a band with a knack for bridging NWOBHM to the hardcore punk audience.

That article proves what exactly. :trollbron:
and metal fans smell worse than other music fans.
I'm just saying; you'd think that you'd have a little more self awareness given that you're a rap fan. People insult your intelligence and your chosen 'music' all the time.
And I'm not concerned with how dudes smell, really. I know how extremely important dudes are to you though

joyful rebellion in a jewel case? weird. here in Canada the album was released in a cardboard paper type packaging. I own this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Joyful-Rebe...261424830116?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3cde2256a4
I bought it when it first came out though... maybe it was re-released or something.
PD leaving the house and interacting with large crowds of people? Large crowds are scary. They're sweaty, horny, angry, drunk breh. That's not what the gawd PD is about. Give him a live stream, a bucket of Mike's Hard Lemonade on ice, and some catered Olive Garden.
rap fans and metal fans smell the exact same when they're at concerts, like weed.
it always seemed so juvenile to me that there's been this divide/animosity between fans of metal and fans of rap. they do the exact same shit as the other camp does.

No, that's country and rap.
Guns? Check.
Talking about shit they ain't got? Check.
Focused on racial and social issues? Check.
People talking about the old, real version before it all got wussified? Check.
A black man as the undisputed top of the game? Check.
Dead, venerated legends name dropped in every other song? Check?
Talking about their vehicles all the fucking time? Check.
The shit is the same exact music.

No lie, the nicest smelling rap crowd I've been in: Lupe Fiasco.

Yeezus blessing us with knowledge from on high.
lol, PD havent you been warned about sniffing people in public?
Had to stop the video and run it back like 3 times after that. The moderators reaction lmaoooooo."I think that the world can be saved through design. What's the most distasteful thing you can do? Kill someone. So to have good taste is the opposite of that."

I was surrounded by women wearing perfume, and a few asshole dudes. Wasn't trying to smell anyone, the nose visuals just came to me breh.
Worst smelling crowd was Mos Def tho. Dirty hippy type people.

he put out a modern classic like...a year and a half ago
some spoiled honors/AP herbs dig it? that was your point?
funny, i thought life decisions & success were important metrics for you
haven't really fucked with discs in forever but this is a great haul for that price man! and i don't recall if busta actually believed that or not...i forget, was he 5%? cause ive found that if the answer is "yes" you can pretty much assume most conspiracies were bought
this was you? i dug this man

I didn't say they were both on the right side of social issues, Ninja. Just that they both had their take on them...

GOAT crowd out here was the last Rock the Bells; i wasn't around the technique/JMT section, but ended up with the WU/Native Tongue heads so every corner i went, weed of varying quality was being offered & shit was chill. i was unconcerned about scents nor attire, as it was a concert.
hahaha just bustin' balls
okay i haven't fucked with country since i lived in the south, but i gotta say on behalf of the dusty crowd: i know my Cash/etc is a long gone era, but most of what i heard on the radio was still pop with a southern twang. it's like, not even remotely the same genre, and felt like it lacked identity. assuming you find that a fair assessment, has anything changed?

The "Alt-Country" scene tends to have more of that darker country vibe to it all. But even they go poppy sometimes.

Lol. I dunno. Even my super polite wife thinks country went too soft(She used words I don't think I'm allowed to say) so I guess that's the case.

I enjoy RATM's music, acknowledging that they had a hand to play in influencing some shitty music doesn't diminish my enjoyment.

you're the 2nd person in life i've encountered who rates Audioslave over RATM. the first person is a good friend of mine, who i felt compelled to throw rocks at for this opinion.

Yeah, thanks dude!
Wouldn't rate them over RATM but "Show Me How to Live" and "Shadows on The Sun" (s/o to Collateral) are great songs.

Like I said, there are bands that are doing some cool things but even they go pop on more songs than I like. I really just want a newer group to release a solid album of Murder ballads. I agree, the genre is just overall soft.
Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer
Shovels and Rope - Can't Hardly Stand It (More of a folksy feel to it.)
Drive-By Truckers - Where The Devil Don't Stay (this has more of a Southern Rock a la George Thoroghgood feel to it.)

Audioslave's first album is better than anything RATM did, let's be real. RATM has many great songs but their albums are inconsistent. Audioslave is Cornell in his prime, it's almost a Soundgarden record. And if it was I'd rate it third behind Superunkown and Badmotorfinger.

dodger i'm gonna hit those up when i get off work, thanks man
Shadow on the Sun i definitely would put up there with my favorite of Cornell's work, even with Soundgarden
i went in expecting a lot less from Audio, i think i had it in my head that this kinda thing didn't work (Velvet Revolver, some might argue Foo Fighters etc) but i have love for some of their shit...just can't see it > RATM is all

This. Album only had two duds in Last Remaining Light and Getaway Car, everything else was fuego (except for Like a Stone, which I'm lukwarm about :lupe). Their first is arguably the GOAT supergroup album, the other two have some quality gems.
Also cosigned. Soundgarden is better than Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but I really don't care for them outside of some choice songs.

Soundgarden is the best grundge band. Cornell was the best songwriter of that movement.
I love Getaway Car and Last Remaining Light. One of my favorite things about early Audioslave was their blues and almost jazzy tracks. Both those songs are in that vein.

One of the biggest reasons I enjoyed that album was Morello's riffage. That wasn't what they were going for in those two tracks so that's why I rate them the way I do. To each his own though, breh.
