I stole money from my parents in high school too, first it was to buy Cypress Hill's Temple of Boom, since I was living in Indonesia, they only had the CD version, and unlike 99% of the rest of music sold there, it was a real version, not pirated. Therefor it cost 40 bucks. So I stole money, and kept doing so until I overheard them talking about money missing and I freaked the fuck out and never stole from them again.


Also, can't picture you going to school for japanese history. Why'd you pick that major?

I stole a bit more than that..

I have done some real shit in my life.. I have popped at people and what not.. but stealing from my father was the shittiest. I paid him back... but that's not the point

I was a computer networking major at first.. and looked at my peers one day and said fuvk this..

I love history in general and started getting into teaching ESL so went with Japanese history...once I got into it I REALLY got into it.. My focus was modern history starting from the end of the Edo period to now.. so Meiji and WII pretty much...

 

[enzo_gt]

they really aren't. its really obvious when i just shuffle listen through the kid cudi file.

the dream time machine, efflictim and teleport 2 me are some of the best songs he's ever made and would fit in perfectly among his other work.
really the only outlier is the WDYSLN cover.

i think a lot of people forget that Dot has been there from day 1. he made Day N Nite. so this is really a back to basics thing for Cudi.

Even the songs Dot and CuDi did previously sound nothing like WZRD, aren't even thematically similar, don't have the same song formats, etc.

There's literally little to nothing that's actually similar about their previous work and WZRD, I don't know how your seeing this otherwise. Recon said it best, nothing is really similar at all besides simple lyricism.

I sold a Mariners jersey to Macklemore once. I think it was the one he wore in the video for the Dave Niehaus tribute song.

I feel like I am the only who remotely gives a shit about him on these boards. Wings was such a fucking great video/track.

 

[Cudder]

I realize MOTM2 is not as good as MOTM1 but it had some great tracks. Marijuana, Mojo So Dope, Wild'd Cuz I'm Young, Trapped in My Mind.

That said, giving WZRD a few more listens and it's definitely growing on me.

Ah, nice! Fucking alcohol. Dulls the sesnszzzzz

 

[Mangotron]

So serious question. If someone had shot Cudi right after MOTM1 came out, and then his good unreleased stuff came out as a posthumous do you think he'd be considered classic (at some point, even if not right now)?

Just because something grows on you doesnt make it good. Genital Warts is a prime example.

Go from never releasing an album to never releasing an album? Seems to be a lateral move, I dont recommend it.

I bought SF4 when it first dropped. I thought it was going to be a great era for Capcom. Then they became retarded. I no longer game on consoles, but if I did, I would be boycotting Capcom and EA. As is, I still boycott EA/Origin.

Don't talk to me about MML. Those rabies-infested fans invaded Mahvel threads for months just to complain about something Megaman-related or another, even after Mahvel's devs threw in countless nods to their company mascot. So I have a personal vendetta.

Rap-up apparently posted this for a little while before yanking it down.

B.o.B has a big surprise in store on his upcoming album. The hip-hop superstar has landed America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift for a super-sized collaboration.


Rap-Up.com has learned that the two have joined forces on a Dr. Luke-produced record set to appear on B.o.B’s sophomore album Strange Clouds, due May 1. When pressed for details, the Atlanta MC remained tight-lipped.

“I can’t discredit nor confirm the rumor,” he coyly responded, adding, “Once it’s began, it’s begun and it will take its course.”

B.o.B first met the country crooner when she invited him to perform “Airplanes” with her last fall. “She actually got my number from Hayley [Williams of Paramore] and she hit me up and was like, ‘Hey Bob, I know this is kind of random, but it’s Taylor Swift,’” he said. “So I’m like, ‘What?’ ‘Yeah, I’m coming out to Atlanta and I hear you’re gonna be in Atlanta and I wanna bring you out.’”

While he reluctantly had to turn down the initial offer due a previously booked gig, they ended up rescheduling for a later date in Dallas. “We did it and it was great. She’s got die-hard fans. And she’s really connected to her audience. So to be able to come out and feel that excitement and know that her fans appreciate my music as well was definitely surprising.”

Since sharing the stage at Cowboys Stadium, the two have struck up a friendship. “She’s America’s sweetheart, a real genuine person,” he shared.

Swift, who brought out Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, T.I., and Usher at other shows during her “Speak Now” tour, knows her hip-hop. “She’s up on her game,” said Bobby Ray. “She knows what to listen to. She’s got good taste in hip-hop music.”

In addition to Swift, Strange Clouds will include contributions from Lil Wayne, André 3000, T.I., Jim Jonsin, Polow Da Don, and more.

My body is ready.

But, you know what? The 3K hate is out of hand here. The dude just sort of got sick of being the best, so he's semi-retired. He just didn't suck his own dick for 3 years talking about that shit. He does an occasional guest verse, and that's it. At least he's still not trying to put out albums that he doesn't want to put out, or trying to jack every young cat's style like Jigga.

Whats up GAF-Hop

I'm a hip-hop/rap noob. Never was really into rap at all, but recently I've found myself listening to and enjoying rap more than most of the other stuff I listen to.

I started with a few Wu-Tang Clan tracks, and from there started listening to a lot of Biggie (who I really like). I listened to loved Illmatic, which led me to Jay Z who I never really liked before but I've been listening to a lot of his stuff. Started listening to some Kanye, and then recently discovered Nujabes who I became addicted too.

I basically had to find all this stuff by myself (with the help of the internet of course) as my friends rarely listen to rap, and when they do it's stuff I hate.

Anyway, just wanted to say what's up, and I figure this is the perfect place to learn more stuff.
