Yeah it's a really nice, kind of minimalist song.

I would also have to say Never Better is still my album of the year, although, I don't feel that it's as strong as his earlier album, Audition.

I loved me some Never Better also. I haven't listened to it much recently though, i'm not sure if i'd be as fond of it upon further listening.

Ice Cube sucks as a rapper? Good gawd man what's the world come to.

You avoided so many of my questions.

My point is that everyone thinks that's what rap is about now and they're wrong and they're stupid for thinking that. It's the same as everyone thinking metal is all about screaming really loud and playing instruments really fast. It's just a stupid stereotype because people are to ignorant to branch out and actually try and listen. And the rappers selling this stuff are far from stupid (they know how to make millions) they're just completely uncreative, and talentless as lyricists (therefore talentless as rappers).

That doesn't make gangsta rap bad.

yeah you're right. Being uncreative and talentless as rappers actually makes it good rap music.

i didn't avoid any of your questions. I've answered all of your questions you obviously just didn't read the answers first time around or didn't want to accept them and therefore wasted my time as well as your own by asking them again.

Keep supporting gangster rap, it seems to suit you and you seem to enjoy it.

No, that makes the rappers bad rappers, and the music that THEY make bad music.

"Hey! The Jonas Brothers SUCK man! ALL ROCK WITH POP TENDENCIES IS HORRIBLE!!!"

Yeah, you have. You haven't told me what's stupid about guns, drugs, or prostitutes.

You say gangsta rap sucks and then say some of it is good. Those are contradicting statements, how do I make that anymore clear?

You're denying a lot of hip hop's history, and when you asked me what came from gangsta rap, and I gave you a list which encompasses A LOT of hip hop, you ignored it entirely.

You said that "acting like a gangsta" is stupid when it's FICTION for ENTERTAINMENT. Holy Hell, man, I guess movies are stupid, I guess ANY rap that's not literal is stupid. I guess anything that's fictional is stupid.

you either ignored everything i said (that answers all of those questions) on purpose or you really are stupid (in which case listening to lil weezy pop sum gangsta a$$ beatz homi3 is probably the best thing for you).

my last words to you (since obviously this is going nowhere and i'm growing bored of having to repeat myself).

"Consumed with the most ignorant **** you can think of
'Cause it's been dangled in front their faces like a carrot to an ass
But still they know better, they're just too scared to be outcasts
**** presidents, what do you do with your power, your control?
Control yourself
Going dumb's not really a movement, you're really going dumb
Look at the **** they play on the radio
And got the nerve to wonder why rappers keep dying in the streets
Stop putting 2pac and Biggie on magazines until you understand the significance of why they died
Don't ya'll get it? Humans are bigger than they're supposed to be
Check yourself before you come out the house holdin' a piece,
Runnin' off at the mouth, sayin' trendy **** like “yes sir” and “ye ye”
Like it's the only thing you know
Yea, that **** is fun but don't let it be the only thing you know
Ultimately, it won't get you anywhere and trying to get out of here
Leave these bad lands behind, get in touch with my spirit, my body, and mind
Cuz I'm divine
And if no one ever told you you were, well you are...

... and that's it"

Jester · 12-06-2009, 01:33 PM

Don't start being a dick. You didn't answer the question, and now you're avoiding it. On top of that, you're being condescending.

Not to mention, it's hilarious that you assume that all I listen to is gangsta rap and that I'm some huge Lil' Wayne fan.
