I like Nas and Eminem.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]If it has a different denotation or even a different connotation, it is not a pure synonym !

Did you know that synonyms* are rare? :)[/QUOTE]
*pure synonyms? Sure, but many words are considered synonymous by a dictionary, so that is acceptable.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]What is your definition of "underground"?



I find Jigga more listenable than PE. The main problem with PE is that sometimes they can grow a little tiring because they're so relentless.

And OMGWTF, I thought I was the only person who liked Eazy-E. Rep++ for you.



Said the guy who listens to metal >_>[/QUOTE]

Metal band names are cool <_<

I like : Cypress Hill, Beastie boys, Eminem

and to a lesser extent : Xzibit, 2pac, MC Solaar, and some I forget...

[QUOTE=Otherside]You didn't even put NWA on there...[/QUOTE]

They only had one good album; I did have Dre and Ice Cube on there, though.

[QUOTE=ATM]I like rappers like Atmosphere, SAge Francis, Demigodz, Deltron 3030, Celph Titled, Akrobatik, Little Brother, Jedi Mind Tricks, Edan, and J Zone.[/QUOTE]

Can't say I'm a fan of most of those.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]Doesn't it depend on the context?

And out of boredom, my top 10 rappers:

2. Nas
4. Jay-Z
7. Talib Kweli

[/QUOTE]


The three on your list I really like. Kanye West, Ludacris, Madvillian, Aesop Rock, Mos Def and OutKast are the others I'm a big fan of.

Jeez, I'm sick of Eminem. His voice is so annoying. "But you're from Detroit, you should like him!"

:rolleyes:

Meh, to each is own. I'm off to class.

What do the dictionaries know?

If it's not a pure synonym, why even bother calling it a synonym? :(

If it's a pure synonym, what's the use of it being in the language twice?

I don't listen to Power Metal, kthx.

(Exception : Some rhapsody and some Children of Bodom)


EDIT : Gilmour

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]If it's a pure synonym, what's the use of it being in the language twice?[/QUOTE]

Variation in speech and literature to prevent overuse of a word referring to a frequently used concept/object.

It;s about the name Superpeer. Agoraphobic Nosebleed? Who can go wrong with a name like that (anyone who listens to the band is who)

I know it's about the name, but I don't want to be associated with Power Metal.

29 now, Thanks ATM

Why is there no perfect synonym for say, white then?

There is, it's "right".

[QUOTE=Simple Man]I like Nas and Eminem.[/QUOTE]

Nas is great (as you can tell from my placement of him), but Eminem...not so much. His first two albums were pretty good (and he was good on "Forgot About Dre"), and he has a great flow, but nowadays his materal all sounds tired. He's a bad producer but he refuses to admit it, and lyrically he's "meh" at best.

[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]The three on your list I really like. Kanye West, Ludacris, Madvillian, Aesop Rock, Mos Def and OutKast are the others I'm a big fan of.[/QUOTE]

I like Kanye West. [I]The College Dropout[/I] was flawed, inconsistent, and at times self-indulgent (but in the end, it was great), but he's a great producer and on TCD we can see that Kanye truly is brilliant. Kanye's got a lot of potential. Once he gets his head on straight we could see some classics from him.

Outkast...man, I knew I was forgetting someone. You can put them at #10 and drop Ghostface.

Mos Def is solid, but I only have one of his albums, and Ludacris is fairly inconsistent.

[QUOTE=magicbus]DN you listen to any MF Doom or Tek9?[/QUOTE]

You mean Tech N9ne or whatever? I like what I've heard.

Im a 'lil john fan. Buts thats probably only cause i know jack about rap.

The closest thing to rap I like would be Bob Marley, which isn't close at all. I've tried getiing into it a few times. I guess it isn't for me.

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]Im a 'lil john fan. Buts thats probably only cause i know jack about rap.[/QUOTE]

I hate Lil' Jon.

Yeeeyahhhhhh!!!

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]You mean Tech N9ne or whatever? I like what I've heard.[/QUOTE]

Yea I don't know how to spell it. I decided I don't know enough about him to start a consistent conversation, but I do like his stuff.

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]Why is there no perfect synonym for say, white then?[/QUOTE]

Because there wasn't someone that woke up one day and decided to make up pure synonyms for frequently used things. Language consists of evolution and coincidence.

Besides, colours have always been a special case. There's a whole system behind language and colour, I don't feel like going into detail though.

I was just explaining the apparition of pure synonyms there, in that particular post, because you inquired it of me so helplessly. I wasn't stating an absolute law, because, of course, there are no absolute laws in language.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea I don't know how to spell it. I decided I don't know enough about him to start a consistent conversation, but I do like his stuff.[/QUOTE]

I feel the same way.

Yeah, definitely. I don't like his new material so much. I love the slim shady LP though, probably my favourite Hip Hop album.

Hey Superpeer what's the definition of a pure synonym?

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]I hate Lil' Jon.[/QUOTE]

Probably why i said i dont know anything about rep. :rolleyes:

I got a new mouse today, Logitech MX510, for my gaming. **** its responsive.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Yeah, definitely. I don't like his new material so much. I love the slim shady LP though, probably my favourite Hip Hop album.[/QUOTE]

In his first two records when he was just an angry white guy taking shots at everybody and when he was working with Dre, he was great. But now he's run out of things to take shots at and he's apparently abandoned Dre.
