What the F*ck happened to Hip-Hop?

Mordhaus says...

The thing that is funniest to me is that the type of songs he talks about bringing back, other than the ballad of oj from a long time hip hop master, the song with the most true meaning came from a comedian/actor. This is America is the type of old school hip hop/rap song with meaning from the old days and it blew up, so the audience is there. Now we just need the 'disco' mumble rap people to change directions and get involved.

My pup was paralyzed two years ago. Now that she can walk again, this is how she poops every time.....hop-squatting. It doesn't make an easy clean-up.

Austrian Protestant? The last time they were relevant was in the 16th century.

Murderers by faith? Spread the fear, keep stupid people subjugated.

The video is a lame innocent joke with zero actual content and yet what interesting comments. I should google this hip-hop thing.

shiiiit. sure everything is stitched together. that's the modern digital audio workstation (DAW).
What folks don't realize is that Anteres Autotune is THE standard in the studio. Every pop star and song gets their dose.
That, ultra compression on everything and ultra repetition in production, gone are the days of creamy analog bliss by good musicians, performing a well-written song actually written by the artists.
Now everything is done post-production, and Autotune is 'the sound' of today's pop. The writing is done by teams of "producers" who have mastered today's pop sound and format.

And then LAWYERS.
For hip hop, in the 2000's lawyers began suing the shit out of anyone who sampled old stuff. Today, an artist can use samples, but they must PAY quite a bit. So, only artists with labels behind them can AFFORD to sample. Hence, Bruno Mars can sample everything, and steal everything, then autotune the shit out of it. And wha-laa - he's got a super-produced, money-backed hit where his producers just copy the shit out of everyone.
And in the end, Bruno Mars is the P.F. Changs of music - white appropriation all-dressed up, pre-packaged and sold.

Why We Constantly Avoid Talking About Gun Control

harlequinn says...

Cars drive and kill. True. And all the regulations he mentioned didn't stop one crazy guy hopping in a truck and saying "fuck you" and mowing down a hundred people. This is an important point because he's talking about firearm regulation in the context of mass shootings, and that firearm regulation will lessen or prevent these mass shootings - which he then compares to mass murder by vehicle, and vehicle regulation - regulation which clearly failed to stop any sort of purposeful mass murder by vehicle. Vehicle regulation is to lessen the impact of accidents and provide the government with a revenue stream through taxes. If vehicle regulation was to stop mass murder by vehicle, and you were to use Australia's firearm laws as a blueprint, you wouldn't be driving to work tomorrow.

The scary thing is, cars have killed more people by accident over the last 50 years in the USA than firearms have on purpose. That's how truly dangerous they are. If people woke up and realised they are a fantastic killing machine, then you'd start to see an increase in the incidence of mass vehicle killings... oh wait.

The reality is, from a public health discourse, there are plenty of things that kill at higher rates than firearms. The difference is that firearms are sometimes used to murder people and as far as we know most medical malpractice, car crashes, etc. are accidental. They are emotively tackled very differently.

PS: I'm not arguing against some firearm regulations being introduced in America. I'd use a modified version of New Zealand legislation (which allows for semi-auto long arms, high capacity magazines, etc.). I'd add self defense as a reason to own, and add concealed carry permits for those willing to do a course (with the catch that they would become a form of quasi-deputy of the state - so there would be hurdles to jump to get this permit).

METALLICA - Nothing Else Matters Acoustic Cover

AeroMechanical says...

So, I've come to accept the fact that I am now hopelessly generation-gapped, but I'm getting the impression that heavy metal (in all its variations) is the most popular of the non-pop/hip-hop genres. I seem to run into a lot of people who I would never guess are into metal that are all about it. Even though personally I only kind of tangentially appreciate heavy metal, I definitely approve of the current situation if I'm correct.

Bah. Should have just bunny-hopped it. Although, there was bearly enough time to react. Could have had grizzly consequences. What? Don't like my black humour? I'm just ursine around.
