I am one of the few. Bmags, mhizzle, and hammerhead johnson are some others.

 

I'm definitely one even though I'm a bigger fan of true hip-hop.

 

There's others. CWSGuy406, SoxFan1, etc..

How the hell did I forget chu Willie? Your a big fan. My apologies.

I'm listening to Eric Clapton doing Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright". OMG it's kicking my ass.

Album: Bob Dylan: The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration

Old guy music. Nice.

 

I bought "The Essential Bruce Springsteen" a few weeks ago and was stunned to learn that he did the original version of "Blinded by the Light" - the Manfred Mann (sp?) song. I can't stop listening to Bruce's version. I had no idea. Never been too crazy about the Manfred Mann version, either.

what are we supposed to pm you for?

 

I was saying to pm me cuz I like to talk music but rap isn't as popular as rock on these types of boards...So if anyone wanted to chat I'd be down. Especially more underground as opposed to mainstream.

 

That and it just hit me to check back now, so clearly like i said, i'd forget.

I just had one of those stopped dead in my tracks musical moments. Where a song all of a sudden just slaps you across the face and says listen, this is important. Funny, I've probably heard the song a thousand times before, but this arrangement maybe a dozen or less. Anyway, had my headphones on, doing some homework, feeling the blues slightly. Plowing away on a tedious assignment. Then I heard Long and Winding Road (from Let it Be Naked) for the first time as a Christian song. (Jim, don't cry) Wow.

Oh you mean the 'wrapped up like a douche' song.

I am king of screwing up lyrics. I bet half the lyrics I think I know are wrong.

eh, i don't think people get upset if there is rap talk on here. This one guy was really knowledgeable on house music and stuff and he's gone and I miss him.

 

i'm not a very big fan of american gangster... i think they missed trying to hit that 70s sound. Ive been bumping cool kids 'totally flossed out ep'

You may be right, I may be crazy,

But it just may be some tuna fish you're lookin for...

I don't think they were trying to hit a 70's sound with the album, just trying to make the songs similar to the movie. Good call on the "Totally Flossed Out" EP, I'm liking The Cool Kids alot lately.

absolutely ADORE the new Common album. Christ, that's good.

 

She looks completely deranged in that picture.

Oh, I thought maybe you heard the new Britney.

 

It pains me to say it. But that album is actually pretty good.

Normally I have an interest in pretty much anything new. This time though I will be happy to just take your word for it.

By the way, I'm all about this ridiculous Romanian/German MC named "Miss Platnum."

 

Klezmer backing, big girl with a single called "GIVE ME THE FOOD."

 

It's too good to be true, yet it is.

To bring the hip-hop part of this thread back, the albums I am most eagerly awaiting are...

 

Wu-Tang

Ghostface

Saigon

 

in that order. I'm fairly certain all three albums are December releases.

Edited November 13, 200718 yr by CWSGuy406

ya i don't know. The Ghostface album has had so many diff. release dates, so has rae's only built 4 cuban linx 2

I've heard the Ghostface is officially supposed to drop on 12/4. I'm also looking forward to the new Lupe album in December as well.

Modern hip-hop just sucks. count me out on those albums - the last wu-tang album was BORRRRRRING.

 

DLed the De La Soul greatest hits tho - halfway thru, it's very good so far.
