You better start running. Now. This thread will eat you alive.

My shrooms are all slimey no night tripin' for Schyma. :upset:

Has anyone heard of A Tribe Called Quest? I can't get enough of [I]The Low-End Theroy[/I]. It's the first rap group in awhile that has appealed to me.

It would be either them or Outkast.

I grew up listening to Outkast.

How long has outkast been around? Just since that da[size=2]m[/size]n hey ya song?

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]How long has outkast been around? Just since that da[size=2]m[/size]n hey ya song?[/QUOTE]

No way, they have been around for a long time now.

They are one of the few rappers to come up with something fresh for each album.

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]How long has outkast been around? Just since that da[size=2]m[/size]n hey ya song?[/QUOTE]

Not even close.

Try since 1994, and they've probably been in the public mind since 1996/98 (ATLiens and Aquemini had big followings) if not 2000 (Stankonia is when they blew up)

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]opinions...?[/QUOTE]

It's an abysmal cover. They took a good Who song and turned into some terrible Staind song with a Speak-N-Spell in the chorus.

ok, I have just never heard of them before that hit :-/

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]ok, I have just never heard of them before that hit :-/[/QUOTE]

You haven't even heard "Ms. Jackson"?

The first Outkast Song I ever heard was Ms Jackson, I think It was when I was in grade five, I loved that song, but so did everybody else.

The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul or OutKast for me. I really enjoy that fusion of Jazz and Rap I think A Tribe Called Quest takes it for me. I'm still a rap n00b so I'm sure there will be more rap that I enjoy. I just have to find it.

Agreed. I forgot about the speak and spell too, what a shi[COLOR=White]t[/COLOR]ty Idea.

I don't.. recall.... it

edit: to illimatic

I had just gotten in trouble for having all these parental advisory CD's, but I wanted more rap.

I remember buying Southernplayalisticadillacsouthernmuzik (Outkasts first album) only because their was no parental advisory on it. It turned out to be just as dirty as the other CD's I got in trouble for, but without the label.

I [b]loved[/b] that album, and still do.

B.O.B. was my absolute favorite song off that album, if not my favorite OutKast song period. Even if Aquemini is still my favorite album by them.

Intresting name..

I've never actually heard the entire album (that was before I as a huge music fan, and I didn't own anything other than a couple of hootie and the blow fish tapes I listened to when I was little) but I remember everyone singing it in the schoolyard.

Why are most teenagers these days scared of liking other genres?

I don't know, it seems alot of people these days stick to one genre and put everyother genre down

I like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest the most...Outkast are pretty good, but really poppish sometimes.

np: Tom Waits - The Earth Died Screaming

[QUOTE=Schyma]Why are teenagers these days scared of liking other genres?[/QUOTE]
Probably because it goes against their black and white views, and firmly held beliefs which they use to ridicule those who are different while exulting themselves as the cool ones. It is their pedestal above the masses. You see if they were ever to admit to themsleves they liked other genres they would have to step down of their pathetic soapbox of laughable accomplishments and mindnunbingly dumb thoughts and admit to themselves that they truly are just another man in the crowd.

Pretty much what this guy said. ^

The sad thing is that, it's mostly true

np: rush-2112

[QUOTE=Schyma]Why are most teenagers these days scared of liking other genres?[/QUOTE]

Because they don't understand the concept of the grey area. They are very pundit-like in that they tend to pass judgement on something very quickly.

I find however that in much the same way people are afraid of liking other genres many people are afraid of not liking other genres. 'Eclectic' has become their genre and they think they've got the right one just like everyone else. There's nothing wrong with not liking more than one genre.
