awesome

almost as terrible as "Sugar on my Tongue"

edit.. whoops "Sugar (Gimme Some)"

All things considered, I'm surprised it took this long. (Dollars to donuts that the next one will be Veruca's "Give it to me now")

So how long am I supposed to wait for some rapper to sample one of Bowie's songs from Labyrinth? Or Queen's "Theme From Flash"? Maybe if I'm lucky, Dane Cook can remind me of these things on his next album.

"REMEMBER LABYRINTH? ReMEMBER that? David Bowie BULGING out of his pants?"

are they supposed to be "backwudz" as in "sylvan" or in "reverse order"? I can't tell.

Yo, rock that Fraggle Rock shit!

where's Gene Wilder?

Public Enemy did this back on It takes a Nation . . . "Terminator X to the edge of Panic" - albeit only briefly at the beginning of the song.

bumped for singles thread eligibility

Blowin on buddha-ha-ha-ha

Pretty good. But I'm guessing it has the staying power of a thirty year old virgin nailing Kate Beckinsale.

ziiiinnngggaa!

Clever sample hook.

Everything else is stale as this kind of stuff inevitably is.

Nas Illmatic = The Pinnacle... everything else since... < Illmatic.

Not talkin bout rap slackmo.

Talkin bout cynically commercial wannabe-thug hip-pop.

This shit is sooooooo done.

Alot of these guys ONLY flow about how great they are, because if they didnt it wouldnt occur to anyone to notice. Plus theres usually little see.

That beat gives me a headache.

That actually wasn't directed at you so much as it was a preemptive parody of the type of reaction that kind of statement usually garners around here.

This is the truth. Commercial hip hop has become like Nu-country or the hair metal from the 80's (before Cobain killed it off).

Hahaha. Mos def.

I forgot that black people are allowed to be shallow, petty, violent, misogynistic and full of irrational hubris.

Ok KKKramer


UNPACK THIS

'cynical' - not following you on this, 'gimmicky' maybe but when this song is this hot its not neccessarily a pejorative
'commercial' - yes, people pay for music. insightful.
'wannabe-thug' - ???? There is nothing 'thuggish' about the lyrics in this song
'hip-pop' - not a pejorative.

Yeah. Go back and read what I actually wrote (this isnt our first clash on these boards, so i know that this is a problem for you)

I said "cynically commercial"

Take the money out of the equation and this song doesnt exist.

Yes people pay for music. No I have no problem with that.
But this shit, except for a few nice touches is just rehashed PRODUCT.

Product. That's all.

You may be right on the thug thing, but this kind of empty bravado is very much of the thug flavor.

quote of the year

album title?


huh???

I would like for Deej to take a good, long stare at this post and then think back to the times over the past months where he has said "Montana OTM" or something equivalent

Oh plz I am fully aware of Montana's weirdo-reactionary agenda, i just think its funny when he provokes dudes who think the 30 best albums of the year were by white post-collegiate singer songwriters

The sample has a nice creepy effect over the length of the song.

It's too bad that that's all it has going for it.

I wish that Hip-Hop nation would stop making videos like this.

"post-collegiate" = oddest insult yet

That post *is* OTM. For some reason you just can't see it. Maybe your obsession with singles has ruined your musical ear.

Like Nu-Country and the late 80's/90's hair metal, commercial rap has become a parody of itself - no better than the other cheesy top 40 acts.

post-collegiate isn't an insult, its just specificity

Were it not for people linking directly to youtube, I don't think that site would exist in my mind. Who actually types www.youtube.com into their browser?

That's all besides the point though- this video and the "song" are terrible.

It's a fairly catchy song that I have forgotten about. popular rap/radio rap at least where I am is stale, recycled shite really though. it was a good idea (or bad idea, whoever you are) to sample willy wonka but they really didn't do anything with it. the lyrics are unseasoned but they try to fool you with a garnish. come on now.

and montana, your little "family guy" zingers are so stupid. How can you even think they are funny?



and is specificity a word?

Silly rabbit. I'm not here to amuse you, but to amuse myself. The jokes I tell are the ones that make me laugh.

yes.

this tune is pretty awesome. this is only the 2nd time i've heard this song, and its equally as awesome as the first time i heard it months ago.

man are they bad, but hey. whatever floats your blueberry boat good man.

lol
