Jake, that is epic. love. Awesome.
But as for the rap schtuff, I can agree with pretty much everything you said. No, I don't think that ALL rap is poop, though 99.9% of it is. There are a very select few groups that I do listen to. I like the music behind hip hop and rap just because it can be relaxing on a long drive, but so many times the lyrics just piss me off. They are so arrogant, ignorant, and 99% of the time either derogatory to women or about poppin' caps in peoples' asses. Who does that? I mean, I be irritated that you threw a bottle cap at my ass, but what effect did it really have on me?
Anyway, here's a little something to make up for Gerst's stupidity in his 'rap' choice.
Atmosphere is more hip hop than rap, but most of the time that's a thin ass line. And it comes with a cheezy little video! Just thought it'd be better than a blank screen.
And one from Living Legends. This is rap. However, they don't degrade women, blast about their Caddies, bling, or spout ignorance.
And back to the genre of my heart, metal. Possibly my favorite song ever, by any band. We can speak the obsession, we can live the endless.
I have an exteremely diverse liking in music. I like damn near everything. God, I'm even starting to like Country. LOL But I digress, enjoy the songs.
