Sorry, ears don;t have an off switch, and Canadian laws prohibit me from shooting at passing rice rockets blaring his "music"

World would be a much better place if the HipHop industry vanished :D

Maybe its the only way he cant stop from shooting his Mouth off

This could turn out to be Better that a Spearing on Scuba thread.

I dont mind a bit of hipperty hop my self ( Hill Top Hoods are a good Ausi band) but cant get into Gansta Rap thats Crap.

But dont get me Started on music, i used to be a bit of a young Punky Goth
Grew up with Iggy, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Junior, Dead Kennedys, Billy Bragg, Ramones etc and those music roots havnt left, i would still love to use Phill Collins, Billy Joel and U2 as Burley or target practice.
They just go to show you dont need talent to make money.

Each to there own i suppose but if its Mainstream you can shove it straight up your clacker

Now THAT would be a SWB for the ages rofl, let alone the samba.

After devoting the last ten or so years of my life to producing hip hop here in the UK, I would have to strongly disagree with this statement. And to be honest, it’s a pretty narrow minded way of looking at hip hop music. I appreciate that so called ‘gangster rap’ has a bad rep but there is far more to hip hop than guns and bitches! Amphibious, I invite you to check out some of my music, and hopefully you’ll see a different side to hip hop! You can find four of my tunes at www.myspace.com/eckaflx. Let me know what you think!

I can see where you're coming from, but not really sure if I agree, Crusty. I feel as though every musical genre has its place, no matter how commercial/mainstream it is. I don't particually like a fair ammount of mainstream music or what it stands for, but nevertheless try and listen to the radio and the charts just to keep an eye on whats going on. If you can try and remain objective - there are some very well written songs making it into the charts.
 
Eminems instructions were to put his head in there three times and bring it out twice. Failed 'cos he can't count that far.

I love all kinds of music, been a professional singer. However I do not consider rap as music. One of the problems that the recording industry has, is finding people with talent to record. Rap overcomes this problem.

Great choice of bands Crusty. Steve (Sonic Youth) is a good friend of mine. Still love Iggy, I'm a Michigan boy by birth..... Saw DK's many times.... Crucif*cks, Black Flag, Germs etc...
Later...:)
 
hehe i heard ian thorpe listens to eminem before he swims. i have a few songs that I like, just like any other musician. thanks for the link eckaflx :) but it definitly made me curious, whether many musicians who are long winded- rap, opera etc... do any special lung capacity/co2 training...?

I can't convey how strongly I disagree with this statement. If you stop and listen to Eminems lyrics, especially his earlier work, if you actually listen to the complexity of the rhythms he uses and the way he cleverly constructs his sentences to rhyme - you must surely see the ammount of work that has gone in to construct those lyrics. Not liking rap is fine, everyone has their own misical tastes, but to call all rap artists talentless, is beyond narrow-mindedness. I find his, and many other rap artists work extremely poetic.
The problem is, you're trying to compare rap to singing, when they are both very different things. Rap is more about the flow of the the lyric and the inventiveness of the lyricist.
The question really is - have you ever given rap a chance? Have you ever sat down and objectively analyzed a piece of quality rap music? I doubt it.
 
I don't think they do special exercises, unless you count lots of vocal practice. Those may or may not have the same effect as co2 training. You develop good wind (so to speak) when playing certain musical instruments, such as the flute or the trombone. It would be interesting to find out if that has practical application in breathholds.
 
I used to have singing lessons, and I think the breathing has helped me a lot with breathholds. Still not a great singer though... even less now that I tire my voice by holding my breath. :D
 
Hey Eckaflex, tried listening to your music through that page but it wouldn't stream more than 5 seconds straight, there's a download button but I can't get it to work. Am always open to new kinds of music. Unless it's country music, that's totally shit. :)
 
sorry Eckaflex, gave hiphop a chance many a time.

the shameless self promotion, Arrogance and "money is life" attitudes inherent in most of the lyrics goes agains just about everything I belive in and covers any "artistic" talent that goes into creating that kind of "music". 5mins in a room with Hiphop/rap/etc and I'm ready to hit someone :D

suffered through 2 years in a house with a pair of serious Dj's :D

I see the talent in spinning, but don;t see any in the music itself.

back to my metal & industrial, and mental bliss :D
 
I remember my mom saying "that guy had no talent couldnt sing and all his ass wiggling couldnt help that he was a flash in pan!"
that man was ELvis :)
