non-Hiphop Acts u Feel

iLL_eG0_AL13n · **on:** May 21, 2005, 03:00:42 PM

this might get fun... is there really such thing as a hardcore strictly Hiphop-or-nothing-head out there... i mean really... coz it's a lotta these baggy a** mofos u meet around the way that act like they don't feel other shit until u catch them bumpin their heads to some Enya joint playin in the background...

Holla with the shit u'd most prob'ly get caught listening to when it's not Hiphop u're pumpin...

i kno wat u mean. i used to b like that. the way i saw it was me tryin to "keep it real". iuf ur beats werent on sum premo shit, im not even tryin to f*** wit u too much.but as maturity started to surface, i realised the consequencs of being closed minded n shallow.u wind up wit no respectable bitches. u get thes dirty skanks that dont wash their dreadlocks, smoke more weed than u n always manage to get drunk, even wen their broke n u the meal ticket but thats a whole nother argument on its own.

wen im kickin it @ the crib, im bumpin radiohead, santana, dj wildchild, ltj bukem, herbert, nirvana, prodigy, bjork etc. n i honestly dont mind jus kickin it @ a punk rock party or a house club or a dnb festival cos i enjoy the music. so maybe i am ur stereotypical nitwit rockin headphones n baggy jeans but bumpin philip tabane.hmmmm :? its actually quiet odd.

With you on all this but System of a Dawn :?: :? pretty sure thats System of a Down and Kenny Kravitz :? :?: surely you mean Lenny.......

But fo real, feelin Nina Simone and Billie Holiday in particular, also lotsa ol skool big band... Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Glenn Miller........

Fo sho if you aint feelin evrything, to each their own, but bra you gotta realise every type of music you listen to has an electronic element, it is simply the natural evolution of our creativity.
As a musician, I started at the acoustic end, and I luv what I and any other musician can do acoustically, but technology allows me a whole other spectrum of creativity, I am unable to place acoustic over electronic, and vice versa, remember producers are musicians, and many are great musicians.

lol my bad... either i'm typin too fast...or i'm too tired... or maybe the "L" key's too close to the "K" one... shit i dunno... n yeah maybe i just suck at spelling... down, dawn's what happens when u get that stuff burnt in mp3 format instead of buying the original... ain't no shame in my game tho

i hear u but u pretty much summed it all up right ^^here...

i mean i used to dig all the Technotronic, Snap... ect back in the days, there's quite a few House tracks that i feel n even some of those Swizz Beatz's all synthesized up beats are dope but when shit gets all bra**y n "ravey" that's just about as far as i'll go... n that's why i think Common's Electric Circus is his lamest album yet, gimme Water For Chocolate anytime...
