09.01.11 | lol no i didn't mean any offense to hip-hop
i just meant that it offers much less variety than other genres (not just metal). i still regularly listen to and enjoy hip-hop albums with friends but musically it as a genre cannot offer much outside a given spectrum of emotions and music. |

09.01.11 | ^no you're still wrong |
jefflebowski
09.01.11 | This is on the same level of musical understanding as saying that all reggae sounds the same |
Inveigh

09.02.11 | I've heard Illmatic. I like it a lot, but i just...don't enjoy it? I dunno. the production's really good but maybe i just hate rap....
Elzhi is coming here soon, actually. Guess I should have a listen.
Thank you everyone! |
