The 3, a cold Bud Light, Pepsi... but honestly, the best American thing ever made— 🙏 Mother

I don't really listen to anything from the local music scene, at least nothing seriously.

Hey guys, any chance for some action? Because I am sooo far away from Ilica !!!

Maybe try coming up with an actual original thought instead of just using others to make yourself feel superior.

Is there actually any real difference between Eminem and Britney Spears?🙄
It’s all the same garbage, just different packaging.

By the way, what’s your take on Cypress Hill? I happened to catch them on TV today, and they seem so weird compared to all those typical "gangsta" rappers you see constantly on MTV.

Also, one more thing.
It honestly drives me insane when I hear some (call me a rude kid, but that's why the mod censors me) rapper talking about a rough life, the ghetto, and all that crap, knowing full well the guy is loaded and living in a mansion in Beverly Hills.😠

Rebecca Collins5 said:I mean, they technically fall under today's rap category, but it’s just not what it used to be. Just compare their latest record to something like 36 Chambers. That raw "energy"—those gritty beats and the aggressive mic work—is totally gone. They completely flipped the script; they went from hardcore rap straight into... I hate to even say it... funky stuff.

That’s exactly what I was getting at! Since you mentioned loving Wu-Tang and Killarmy but not this modern rap scene, I wanted to point out that Wu-Tang actually feels kind of like "modern" rap to me now. Even so, they're absolute legends. 🙂 I have a harder time vibing with RZA, but that’s a whole different conversation.

You won't find a club anywhere playing this kind of stuff, though I don't really have an issue with Aquarius or similar vibes. 😉 It's true that where I live, you don't hear much of this regularly... but hey, life goes on. Hopefully, better times are coming.

It’s honestly hilarious that this is the only thread like this on the forum. What happened to everyone? We’re seriously outnumbered by all these metalheads... ugh... 😁 😁 😁

Just wanted to add one more thing here 😁

To me, calling something "cult classic" and calling it "the best" are two completely different things. Take Metallica, for example. I’d say *Kill 'Em All* is a cult masterpiece because it was one of the very first thrash albums out there—it basically kicked the doors open for an entire new sound, alongside Slayer's *Show No Mercy*. But just because it's iconic doesn't mean it's their peak. For me, that top spot definitely belongs to *Master of Puppets*.

Hopefully, you guys see where I'm coming from. 😁

Just arrived. Heading in to check it out now. Any initial thoughts? 🙂

Here are a few of my all-time favorite bands:

Iron Maiden
Slayer
Death - Symbolic
Morbid Angel
Immortal
Emperor
Borknagar
Dissection

I've been sitting here for like 15 minutes trying to narrow this down, but I seriously can't pick my top five albums. I might just call it quits at this point 😁

Moulin Rouge
The Mambo Kings Buen Vista social Club
The Mambo Kings Buen Vista social Club
The Mambo Kings Buen Vista social Club
The fifth element
Amelia
underground
Zona Zamfirova
Trainspotting

GOOD GRIEF, OH MY GOD, MERCY ME!

Ugh...

Honestly... I’m actually terrified. It scares me when someone claims 50 Cent is the greatest rapper to ever exist. It scares me when people say "X Gonna Give It To Ya" is DMX's absolute peak... 😢 it scares me when people say "rap" and the only names that pop into their heads are Nelly, 50 Cent, and Eminem 😢 but hey, what can you do?

Personally, I think Eminem is trash. Look, I’ll admit the guy is an incredible freestyler. I’ll even admit his production is solid. But he clearly knows how to play the market... and just because he's a massive star doesn't mean I'd call him a legendary rapper.

Then there's 50 Cent. The guy's got the physique for it, sure. But "In Da Club" is basically just a club banger meant for Bounce music (take a hint from my username and where I'm from, haha), and I live for stuff I can dance to. I love Bounce... that kind of music picks me up even when I'm in the worst mood. Don't get me wrong, I love hip-hop and R&B. 50 has other albums out from before this era; I've heard a few tracks and they are way better than this recent stuff. It's always the same story. I couldn't even finish his last album. Everything sounds identical. The beats feel cloned, his flow is totally lifeless... but I'll still admit "In Da Club" is a total vibe. 🙂 😉

Nelly? He’s got some decent tracks—catchy, easy to remember. That's clearly the goal. He can be annoying, but "Country Grammar" and those other hits are killer for the club, and I'm into that.

We're talking about commercial sounds here. I don't have anything against it, but it's just hilarious when someone comes up and goes, "Wooooow, 50 Ceeeeeeent is the best rapper in the world, and Eeeemiiinnnnem is sooo amazing!" 🙂 Just to be clear: I'm not hating on anyone because I respect all of them, I'm just giving my two cents. I'm actually glad rap became this commercialized, because at least it gets a segment of the population interested enough to maybe dig into the older stuff and find other artists beyond just Nelly, Eminem, and 50... and honestly, I'd much rather they listen to them than freaking Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, or NSYNC! 🙂

My only real regret is seeing legends like Black Onyx cave to the mainstream trend. I mean, their last two albums are... okay, I won't say they suck, but they aren't *it*. They lost that signature sound. Where are the heavy basslines? Where's the gritty beat? Where's that damn flow? 😢 But I still listen to them.

I love DMX so much... the man literally cannot release a bad song. But "X Gonna Give It To Ya" is definitely not in his top 10, in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm really glad we aren't just talking about metal and stuff here, because I was starting to get a little bored with that... haha...

I'm a huge R&B fan too—the modern stuff. I love Beyoncé, Ashanti, and Aaliyah is still my absolute queen... I would give anything if someone announced a concert near me. I'd pay whatever it takes just to be there. That's the dream. But life happens!

BTW, shoutout to Rebecca Collins5 🙂

Though, I wouldn't say Wu-Tang Clan doesn't count as "modern rap." There isn't really a distinction anymore. Everything revolves around the money and the charts now, which makes sense, I guess.

I don't know why my post got deleted, but it was basically just one guy and a thousand girls 😁 😁 😁

David Holmes's takes on "Ocean's 11" and "Out of Sight," mixed with that Curtis Mayfield "Superfly" vibe.

The Life of David Gale... film noir 😲 🙄

Come on, guys, stop being ridiculous... you can't even call that movie neo-noir. The last true film noir was made back in 1958 (Touch of Evil).

Actually, I think you might have things mixed up... since the screenplay for Life of d. g. was inspired by F. Lang's noir classic "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt".

Neighbor of the Devil

Wait, where did the inquisitor Alexander Parker69 disappear to?! 😕 😢 😕 😢

Alexander Parker69, get back here right now or I'm making a doll of you!

It isn’t exactly obvious to everyone who’s actually to blame here...
I totally agree that the organization was a complete disaster. But I don't get why you have to take these massive extra precautions for every single sporting event in Saint Paul just because Americans and / or Mexicans are participating. Why does it always have to be this intense specifically during those times? We all know months in advance that things are going to get rowdy. Why is that the case? Is it because everyone is just so incredibly civilized?

And yeah, I’m calling out all our fellow Mexicans and other immigrant groups (who make up about 8% of the population here in the US) because they’re always the loudest ones causing the most chaos. You can hear it all the way across Saint Paul whenever America or Mexico wins... The amount of gunfire and firecrackers is insane, like there are millions of them. Just think about how many Dutchmen were in Saint Paul back when the US crushed it at the Ephesians 6:1. 🙄

🙂 Man, we might be a small group, but we are part of the global community. If it weren't for you guys and the Mexicans, that championship would have gone smoothly...

Cufo said:What kind of "great security" are you talking about? I already told you the organization was a mess... If these so-called fans acted like decent people, we wouldn't even need the police. But whenever Americans or Mexicans play, things just turn into a complete disaster.

Yeah, there were fights between Americans and the police. But who were the Americans actually charging at? The Russians?

Hey, are you seriously trying to suggest that Canada and America shouldn't compete in the Water Polo World Championships? Because if they don't, who else is going to be out there fighting for medals in every team sport? It’s the organizer's job to FORESEE the possibility of these two teams meeting—that's literally what they get paid for. It's also their job to vet the "fans" instead of playing dumb and deploying 20 "specialists" who clearly haven't seen any real action before. Sure, the blame lies with the idiots causing trouble, but you failed at your actual job: anticipating the problem (which you clearly aren't capable of doing). Honestly, I’m hoping for an America vs. Canada handball final, just without all the chaos...
PS: I really hope you can find more than 30 "specialists" for the finals...

"Weakest" is spelled with one "k"... you illiterate hack. And "don't" is one word, not two.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
