most of the anti drug stuff is a joke but still i enjoy my music just fine without drugs 99% of the time.

Ugh, let me rephrase that."What's the name of the Nas song that has this sample?" Sorry, wrote that
wrong. And no, I haven't been living under a rock, I just legitimately don't like Nas and have never
cared about his music. I only like him in collabs.

Not much of a fan of "artsy" East Coast rappers, especially ones making political statements. Give me
West Coast party rap any day or Screwed and Chopped Texas trill rap about purple drank man!

You like Waka Flocka?

On a scale from rules to rules how much does he rule?

I non-ironically LOVE Waka Flocka. "No Hands" is the go to jam to getting any party started, especially Roscoe Dash's part (the dude has some sick mixtapes too!). I know he gets a lot of shit but the way I view it is, why should I care about any of the critic's concerns when I'm having the time of my life and grinding next to some hot bish at a great party??


inb4 more butthurt from people b/c I don't like critically approved music and "dare" to like stuff that's fun to listen to.

What about J Biebs? If you wanna get sum ass thrown on da Bieba fever amirite??? works all day high five

What does Biebs have to do with Flocka? He's not targeted towards my demographic at all, so I don't really have an opinion on the guy. I don't hate him, but I did think him trying to pull R&B at his age was kinda funny.

Boyfriend was actually pretty decent though. I'm assuming he's going to take Justin Timberlake's route to success. Start out as a teen hearthrob with no music cred and start making kinda weird music that still retains broad appeal to transition to his adult age. Whatevs, if he can make music as great to party with and have fun as JT, I'll be down to listen.

You are an interesting fellow indeed. Very edgy. Controversial. Daring. Im keeping my eye on you.

Album Rating: 3.5

Good review, so many comments in only one day, and yet no feature?

BTW though theres nothing wrong with liking some dumb fun party music when you're out or whatever. Obviously most chicks arent going to be digging the new post-metal release. I can go with the flow with that stuff, but that still doesnt mean I think the music is any good. Its alot easier to make a simple dance pop song than to make a great jazz album or something. Nobody is going to be listening to Roscoe Dash in 50 years, yet people are still listening to Miles Davis. Thats gotta say something no?

Or in the case of Waka Flocka and Nas, Waka Flocka could never make an album as good as Illmatic. Even he admits hes not a good rapper. But Im sure if Nas really wanted to he could make music like Waka. Theres not much to it besides havin SWAG so Im not going to hold party music and other kinds of music up to the same standards. Theres new pop stars popping up every week that will be forgotten in 10 years, but the classics live. Thats why people hate on pop music. Not because it cant be fun in the right setting, but because its disposable.

I don't think it's a lot easier to make great dance songs. There's a reason why when someone who
doesn't have a good producer, image, or w/e attempts it, it just falls flat and they're forgotten or
ridiculed in seconds. The pop game is pretty vicious and ruthless. Getting stuck in the heads of
millions of people is a hard thing, hence why people who consistently do it, like Dr. Luke are so
high in demand. It ain't an easy job.

Oddly enough, I agree that Nas is a better rapper than Waka Flocka. That said, I don't think it
matters much. Waka has a ton of other things going for him that make me want to jam to him over Nas
any day, and that's what matters at the end of the day.

Tbh, I think what it says about Roscoe Dash being unknown in 50 years is just that pop music is
constantly updating itself, incorporating whatever is in the fringe and bringing it to the
forefront (ex: Kirko Bangz taking the odd Chopped and Screwed sound and making is super-mnstrm all
over, not just Texas) in very appealing ways.

Given this process, along with the simple fact that it wouldn't make any sense to be stuck in any
one phase of pop music, it speaks more to pop's adaptability and constant search for something new
than anything else. Roscoe Dash will just influence tons of other pop artists in various ways. Even
if he's forgotten, he kept up a template for pop to live on, you know?

I also don't really care much for "the classics" (as y'all should be able to tell by now). It's just
so arbitrary what's good and what's not. Back in the 60's, music critics would have sworn Led
Zeppelin would get nowhere. People ridiculed them for being incompetent at playing the blues. Now
it's blasphemy to even say that their folk songs are boring (which, surprise, surprise, I actually
think) or that their ripping off tons of black artists diminishes their work.

Hell, even Blink-182 is getting some cred from younger kids who fetishize the 90's. Now they're
"pioneers of pop-punk" rather than just a bunch of funny suburban dudes making great pop tracks.
It's just p random what gets accepted and what doesn't, so I don't really care much for it either
way.

Damn that was long. I disagree with everything you said. Oh well. Like what you like.

Haha yeah, I don't have anything better to do now than talk about how funny I find it that Led Zep is held as a sacred cow when every critic treated them like Nickelback back in the day.

brb, re-analyzing how I spend my last 2 hours awake.

Black Sabbath was hated on too when they started. Thats how critics treat alot of new shit they dont understand. Who cares about them.

I actually think Black Sabbath is pretty funny and kinda shitty, haha. I part of me really loves their
stuff anyway but if I had to write a review on their albums, I'd give them low ratings.

Don't get why Black Sabbath is jocked so hard when a lot of their music sounds a lot like other bands
at the time (srs). Pretty random that BS made it whereas nobody remembers Leaf Hound or Sir Lord
Baltimore, both of which, IMO, are much better bands.

"Good review, so many comments in only one day, and yet no feature?"
Almost none of them are about the review... or the album for that matter.

" I don't have anything better to do now than talk about how funny I find it that Led Zep is held as a sacred cow when every critic treated them like Nickelback back in the day."

proof?

"It might seem a bit incongruous to say that Led Zeppelin — a band never particularly known for its tendency to understate matters — has produced an album which is remarkable for its low-keyed and tasteful subtlety, but that's just the case here. The march of the dinosaurs that broke the ground for their first epic release has apparently vanished, taking along with it the splattering electronics of their second effort and the leaden acoustic moves that seemed to weigh down their third. What's been saved is the pumping adrenaline drive that held the key to such classics as "Communication Breakdown" and "Whole Lotta Love," the incredibly sharp and precise vocal dynamism of Robert Plant, and some of the tightest arranging and producing Jimmy Page has yet seen his way toward doing. If this thing with the semi-metaphysical title isn't quite their best to date, since the very chances that the others took meant they would visit some outrageous highs as well as some overbearing lows, it certainly comes off as their most consistently good."

Oh, btw YoWassupBros your a fucking tard monkey.

"It (Led Zep's debut album) initially received poor reviews. In a stinging assessment, Rolling Stone
magazine asserted that the band offered "little that its twin, the Jeff Beck Group, didn't say as well
or better three months ago... It would seem that if they are to fill the void created by the demise of
Cream, they will have to find a producer, editor and some material worthy of their collective
talents.""

And they didn't get cred until Led Zep craze validated the band later on in the 70's. It's a whole
thing if you actually read up on rock history.

That's not even mentioning how many people thought they ripped off black people. They truly are the Vanilla Ice of rock music via white people appropriating black people's music.

"That's not even mentioning how many people thought they ripped off black people"

They did, it isn't conjecture.
You're on a computer, just look shit up before you make an ass out of yourself for gods sake... have some self respect.

THEY RIPPED OFF BLACK PEOPLE
