Manu Chao - Bongo Bongo (Bassnectar Remix)

I was just thinking, what is there that is still original and 'musical' about hip hop today?? especially the mainstream-pop end of the spectrum, it's not even lyrically that good anymore artists seem to just repeat anything that rhymes over and over.

Timbaland has been quoted as saying "repeatedly voiced ... a frustration with pop music, particularly the hip-hop end of it" (according to his New York Times interviewer, one Sasha Frere-Jones)

and further declared: ''It's time for me to retire, because it ain't the same ... I'm tired of stuff now, even stuff that I do." (He also, said, mindblowingly, that "Coldplay and Radiohead are the illest groups to me. That's music".)

That same year, 2004, Jay-Z also confessed - on the eve of his (ha ha) retirement and moving on to bigger, more challenging fields of endeavour - that he too was "bored" with hip-hop. Rap had become "corny", he said, and accordingly he no longer felt peer pressure to raise his game (something underlined by the steady decline of his output after 2001's magisterial The Blueprint).

yeh I just got that message aswell, tbh I didnt read it. The guy was a nobody on these forums anyway and there's a ton of 'I'm leaving ng' threads every week, bloody drama queens.

pray tell where did you get such a fantastical application? :P

jibber jabber? pray tell for of course tis an olde english word thou cretin

I'm going to hazard a guess that google gets a couple more hits than bing, and there is no real competition.

Grime as a genre is much more influenced by Afro Caribbean tones, the demographic who incidently make a very arge part of the black community in the UK. So yeah, essentially it's a cultural thing.

Yeh Grime is kinda accosiated with urban black youth, I always thought of it as the UK version of crunk, I think the grime scene in the UK is closely related to dubstep, I know alot of grime MCs who spit over dubstep and alot of it works.

I'd guess about 3/5 people know who I am on these forums

what really annoys me is when one prick bumps a thread thats about 3 years old for no reason.

Loving these.

More American style hip hop than British grime. Still sick though.

The way I always saw it, is that america has always done the whole hip hop scene better than the UK, simply because it originated there and they know how to do it so well. Artists such as these are hard to find (UK artists that can do hip hop well).

Only if they are southern :)

I think the most challenging thing for me in the many times ive gone there is getting acquainted with the slang. People would say are you pissed. I'd be like 'no, i am quite happy right now please get me a beer.' and then theyd be like no you are definately pissed. and then id say ill be pissed if you dont get me another beer... apparently the term pissed in amerikkka is different. fuck you gais

We use both terms, pissed as in 'you drank so much you're pissed', and we use like 'pissed off', but I will agree we do have alot of very difficult and pointless slang. Don't even get me started on cockney rhyming slang, it's like another language.

If they are REALLY young, I think it can help them to learn. I'd say when they are under the age of about 6/7, like if they run out into the middle of the road I might give them a quick slap to teach them that it's wrong.

I would never go so far as to really hurt them, or beat them as a form of punishment.

I still dont particularly like to swear in front of my parents, and I'm 18 :p

American football is the real football. Non-American football is... Soccer.

This is just the sort of thing that is gona cause friction with you if you come to the UK :)

It is FOOTBALL, and has been called that for literally centuried before 'american' football came along, have you noticed that every single country other than the US calls it football?

fuck you sir

I think the UK opinion on americans has changed alot since obama became president, I think we all regarded americans as fat stupid arogant twats when bush was in office, now I think we're more accepting. But yeh, depending on where you go I think you should get a fairly positive reception. I come from Manchester, and we have the highest student population in europe, so I've met a fair few americans and they all seem pretty nice, relaxed & friendly people, you should do fine.
