everybody :) please try and keep it civilized.

I gonna say black eye peas....sure their old stuff are great for parties but i just don't really like their new musics.

that "NONONONO NONONONONONO don't lie" MV just want to make me take a LAW from the us armory and shoot the tv.

As for music i don't care if its underground or mainstream as long as i like it, then its fine. The bottom track for stuff imo is how dope it gets.

Onlu person I can liken Missy Higgins to is rally driver Cody Crocker. The only reason either Higgins or Crocker do so well is because there's no-one else there to win.

yeah....no one else there to win, thats why....


just like when she won unearthed, there werent 6000 other entrants trying to win

and when she won all those arias, no one else was competing against her aye

Oh yes, I quite agree with you:

"And Dr. Dre said... nothing you idiots!
Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement!"

"'My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips'
And if I'm lucky, you might just give it a little kiss"

"And there's a million of us just like me
who cuss like me; who just don't give a fuck like me
who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me
and just might be the next best thing but not quite me!"

"And I don't mean rap as in a new case of child molestation accusation"

"Oops my cd just skipped
And everyone just heard you let one rip"

"Now I'm gonna make you dance
It's your chance
Yeah boy shake that ass
Oops I mean girl girl girl girl"

"They said, "Save it, boy we gotcha you on tape
yellin' at an old lady 'touch my body'""

"Chubba chubba chubba chubba chubba chubbie
I don't have any lines to go right here so, chubba teletubbie!"

"And do not treat me like a murderer, I just like to pee, pee, pee"

"I did not even get to see Mary-Kate shower scene
I didn't mean to be obscene or make a great big scene
And don't treat me like I'm pee wee herman, this movies PG"

"Here, I make Jesus juice, take a sip of this
Nobody is safe from me, no not even me
I don't even know if I can say the word pee pee, pee
On the radio, but I think I did
Janet, is that a breast, I think I just saw a tit"

"So Gwen Stefani, will you pee pee on me please?"

Pure. Lyrical. Genius.

... Dickhead.

ZING!!!!!!!

Because none of them are genius either.But geniuses don't. Did Mozart have novelty songs? Bach? John Lennon? The Verve? Sure, geniuses like U2 might have one or two novelty songs, but not every second track.Due to the lyrics I posted, I don't think he should be taken seriously. Sure, he might write the greatest song of the 21st Century, but who's going to listen to it after the likes of "So Gwen Stefani, will you pee pee on me please?" I mean, that's just low. Even by Eminem's standards.No, I don't think I am. I know I am. Every artist pumps out shitty songs. Eminem does is more often than others.Sorry, I can't listen to music without tearing it apart. Since you recommend them so highly, I'd just end up being more critical than usual, and then you'd attempt to tear me apart for writing off another of your favourite artists.
bla bla bla

fuck were not writing essays here

i could easily give u a list of 10-15 songs by Eminem which lyrically are masterpieces....but really i have better things to do

ive already mentioned 3 of them

with Stan its not so much the lyrics but the story and the message

have a nice day

If you want an essay, I can write one. I bet you didn't even read half of what I said, did you? See that's the problem with people, as soon as someone disagrees with them, they stop listening or reading. Did it ever occur to you that I might be right? Of course not. You read what you want to read, know what you want to know. Everything else is irrevalent, and consequently you'll keep makin the same mistakes. Of course, you stopped reading this long ago, so you'll never know.If it's as easy as you claim, why don't you make the effort? You're essentially saying "I'm right and the fact that I say I am makes it so", so you won't bother. But if you 'have better things to do', why are you on BoS? Heaven forbid this might actually be a useful site ...Oh yes, I can really see what you mean. "Hey, you're this guy with millions of fans worldwide, who probably employs people to answer hs fan-mail, but somehow mine was missed. So instead of using reasonable logic to determine you're a busy guy and maybe you have a vaild reason for not instantly answering my mail, I'm going to write progressively more abusing letters, and when they don't get answered, I'm going to kill myself and my pregnant girlfriend and liken myself to you in the suicide note." Lyrical brilliance indeed.

Of course you didn't read any of that did you? It's not as if my opinion ever amounted to anything. Hearing what you want to hear again and everything else is wrong, right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh man, that's just funny. Slap yourself across the head for me.

On topic, behind the explicit lyrics, Stan does have some meaning.

eminem was fine. marshall mathers lp is a really standout album and probably one of the best of its time.

but fuck he has released a tonne of shiiiiiiiiiiit songs. especially recently

i'd hardly call him a modern day shakespeare.

his lyrical prowess doesn't even rival other better rappers out there let alone the number of great poets from the last century or two.

the explicit lyrics make it more real dont you think?

when i listen to it, i feel like hes talking to me, and thats the whole point of the song....to speak to each and every fan

although im not as hardcore as our friend Stan, im a big fan

I couldn't agree more.

I liked Marshall Mathers, but even back then he had that "if you don't like my shit then you can suck my dick" song. :rolleyes:

Now, every single one of his recent songs have been even lower than that. It's disgusting.

I do admit that he does deserve credit for the few half-decent songs he released.

knock john lennon of that "no-novelty song list"

i practically look at his awful songwriting with yoko as a novelty.

boy it was bad.

i'm sure lennon wrote some novelty songs in the beatles. can't think of any because im not a beatles expert but it couldn't have just been ringo writing all the children like novelty songs.

lennon deserves credit for his songwriting. but i think he stands out on the "genius" list when compared to the others.

edit: just to be clear i meant he stands out because i consider mozart and bach to be in a totally different league that lennon doesn't deserve to be in.

Imagine is possible one of the best songs of the 20th Century, possibly bettered by only Bittersweet Symphony.

i totally agree. but i dislike a LOT of lennon's material post beatles.

apart from imagine i can think of only one other song i like. Instant karma.

in popular music lennon is definetly up in the top as far as songwriters go.

but no songwriter from popular music comes close to the classical composers and what they did with music. just my opinion here.
