ARe you into more "alternative" hip-hop or the hardcore gangsta stuff? I only like the hardcore gangsta stuff, otherwise it's just modern R&B except rappers can't sing well at all. Radio blows."<BR/><BR/>I just think jeans are scratchy.. When they're new, they're often stiff and hard. When you wash them with fabric softener, they tend to fall apart. When you wear them out, they might get faded and full of holes. (I don't care whether they're faded or not, though.) Baggy ones are heavy and thick, making me feel like I have to take a shit. Non-baggy jeans are often those tight-ass, genital-crushing kind that country music fans like, that rip when you move your legs too much. Plus, I hate wearing anything with a zipper.<BR/><BR/>There's a college station that has an underground hip-hop show once a week at night that I listen to, and that's not bad at all. None of that "bling-bling", metrosexual, nursery-rhyme rap. No phony-ass gangsta wannabees who live in gated communities. Real good beats of a wide range of types; some are harsh and violent, some are bouncy and fun, some are hype, some are scary, some are really depressing, some are smooth and soothing, just to mention a few. There's even a huge variety within these types. But that's just the production half of the equasion! Besides lyrical content, there's a broad spectrum of voices rhyming over these beats, each with a different type of flow. Unique, original, highly-skilled and experimental hip-hop; beats, lyrics, flows, and vocal range. Sure, there's plenty of not-too-good ones, and ones that just plain stink, but hey, not everything can be great.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you've heard of Busta Rhymes, NaS, Canibus, Redman, members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and Mobb Deep (even though they've almost sold out). But have you ever heard of Pharoahe Monch, Bumpy Knuckles, M.O.P., Celph Titled, or 7L & Esoteric? Just to name a few, as well as old-school legends like the Roots, Gang Starr, Biz Markie, Kool G Rap, or even KRS-One (even though you might not like his message)?Shitbitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123748977129139113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-1162305048220384532006-10-31T06:30:00.000-08:002006-10-31T06:30:00.000-08:00I only like the hardcore gangsta stuff, otherwise ...<I>I only like the hardcore gangsta stuff, otherwise it's just modern R&B except rappers can't sing well at all.</I><BR/><BR/>Rappers sing?<BR/><BR/>The only appropriate outfit for men: Soft, comfortable plain solid color T-shirt (no "heather", no sayings, no Nike logos, no ring collar with a contrasting color, NO STUPID POCKET), and normal, not-washed-in-bag-of-rocks Levi's, loose enough to hang slightly below the belly button so as to enhance cuteness and avoid mooseknuckle.
