| If 'lil' means little, it describes your talent-Sunday, August 31st, 2003 |
| I'm burning a CD for my cousin. Here's a track list if there is an asterick (*) by it, it means its a good song. Ashanti-Rock Wit You 50 Cent-21 Questions Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey-Baby If You Give It To Me Fabulous featuring Ashanti-Into You 50 Cent featuring Lil' Kim-Magic Stick Ludacris-2 Fast 2 Furious (NOTE: This song is actually called 'Act A Fool,' I am typing exactly what she wrote) Chingy-Right Thurr (NOTE: I'm not sure is that is the correct spelling, I can't read her handwritting very well) Ozzy Ozbourne-Dreamer* R Kelly-the paper is torn so I can't read the name Good Charlotte-Girls and Boys* Black Eyed Peas-Where is the Love? Kelly Clarkson-Miss Independent Mya-My Love Is Like Whoa Christina Aguilara featuring lil' Kim-Can't Hold Us Down Evanescence-Wake Me Up Inside* (NOTE #1: The song is called 'Bring Me To Life', NOTE #2: She originially spelled is Evinecence) Note that there are only three astericks (*). Now I have never even heard most of these songs until when I began downloading them. And I do say, DO PEOPLE REALLY LISTEN TO THIS? This is the stuff they play on BET (Black Entertainment Television). At this point I would like to point out that I have several black friends and NONE OF THEM listen to this crap. Why do people refer to this as black music anyway? The only people who listen to it are preppy girls. I mean, for crying out loud, 50 Cent? That's what I'd expect to pay for one of his CDs. I think they need to add one to the list of average speeds. The average speed of sound, then the average speed of light, then the fastest one of all. The average speed of a rapper's mouth. Last year during math class, it was closer to the end of the year so the teacher allowed us to play music. Our little group of five people (Allen Carlock, Kyle Rabidoux (sp?), Jay Douback (sp?), Brenton (I forget his last name), and myself) began searching through Jay's CDs that he carries everywhere. I forget what we picked out, I think it was Disturbed or something, but we put it in the CD player and immediately the girls around us began complaining. 'Why don't you listen to something good, like 50 Cent?' Excuse me? I'm sorry if you don't like this. But at least these guys actually sing. Unlike that shit in which all people do is talk really fast. She then proceeded to point out 'you have to like rap, you saw 8 Mile!' So? I saw it because I thought it would be a good movie (and I was unable to see Jackass). I would have seen it if Rosemarry Harris was playing the main character. (Trying to picture Rosemarry Harris playing Rabbit.) What's the deal with Lil' Kim? Why is it that rappers use the "word" Lil' in front of their name? Lil' Kim, Lil' Wayne, Lil' Romeo, Lil' Bow Wow. What the fuck? You don't listen to K-Rock and hear 'Down With The Sickness' by Lil' Disturbed. Whoever uses Lil' is a lil' disturbed. Bottom line, Rap and R&B suck. Here's a guide on how to tell if a band or singer sucks. Their name begins with Lil' (Lil' Kim, Lil' Romeo, Lil' Bow Wow) Their nickname contains the letter J (J-Lo, Ja Rule, LL Cool J) Their name contains a letter in place of a number (Boyz 2 Men) Their name contains a word that is intentionally spelled wrong (Ludacris, Busta Rhymes) They have a stupid gimmick such as wearing a bandadge for no reason at all other than to look dumb (Nelly) They belong to Shady/Aftermath or Def Jam records Their main type of music is rap, R&B, or country How to tell if they are good: Their name is a real word that is very rarely used except in a particular suject (Evanescence, Cauterize) Their name starts and ends with T and contains the name of another type of music that sucks (Trapt) They use a mix of punk rock and Christian music (Sonic Flood, Delirious?) They Belong to Wind-Up Records and aren't Creed (Evanescence, Cauterize, Twelve Stones, Drowning Pool) The only good rapper in the world is Mike Shinoda, a guitarist/rapper in Linkin Park. People consider Linkin Park to be Rap-Metal. I don't. Rap-Metal sucks. Rap-Metal is like Limp Bizkit and Run DMC. It sucks. There's only one good Rap-Metal band, and that's Papa Roach. They kick ass. Linkin Park is sort of Alternative Rock/Rap/Soul. It's odd. But they aren't Rap-Metal. Linkin Park is good music. Here's a list of the top ten albums of all time (from best to worst) The Scorpions-Bad For Good Trapt-Trapt Linkin Park-Meteora Cauterize-So Far From Real Saliva-Back Into Your System Disturbed-Believe Evanescence-Fallen Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory R.E.M.-Document AC/DC-Live! So, I leave you all again with one word of advice: boycott rap. Note: Everything expressed here is my opinion only. It should NOT be taken seriously.
