TK, what do you mean by 'hardcore gangster rap?' Do you mean like hardcore as in like brutal lyrics like JMT or Immortal Techinique, or like the hardcore gangsters like...i don't know, everybody? What's wrong with Immortal Technique?

Nothing at all. I like IM. I was just using him as an example for harder hip hop music because of his lyrics. See: Dance With The Devil.

To Jake:
Hey man, you got me, I just know it when I hear it. Like that one song "die motherfucker! die motherfucker! die!" First time I heard that I just started laughing because it was so contrived to sell records to angsty teenagers.

Oh, that's by Dope. You're right about the angsty teen part, even though a couple songs by them are good.

I've got another one...
Weezer suck, they make distinctly average 'rock' music that is only popular because of the 'funny' videos they make to accompany the songs.

...I thought a lot of people thought/realized that.
If not, I agree with Hughes.

Not so unpopular, but a few random notes:
-I despise top 40s stations, to the point that I once threatened to axe kick a radio at a workplace, and meant it, since it was used as the conduit for such tripe. -I play Def Jam Fight For NY largely because you can throw Bubba Sparxx and Flavor Flav into cement pillars, into the path of trains, and set them on fire. -I once knew a guy who would play a Def Leppard tape, day after day, over and over and over again. I can't listen to their music because of that.
-Not music, but I need to throw in some unpopular opinions, and this seems to be an appropriate place for a rant on "reality" tv. As many of you guys know, I truly despise the genre, almost irrationally so, except that I can explain it. There are three main problems I have with it.
First, the genre celebrates the mundane, the unexceptional, and the idiotic. I do not understand why someone would watch such shows, as they more often than not are just about the random interactions of uninteresting people, things that one could mostly see in their daily lives.
Second, when executives realized that people will watch anything that's put in front of a camera, it lowered the overall quality of programming. Not to say that there aren't good shows out there still, but the pop culture scene is filled with mediocrity.
Third, it seems that any show in the genre goes well out of its way to be as "in your face" and annoying as possible. From nonstop, loud bleeps(can anyone on a "reality" show speak a single sentence without being censored?), to grating sound effects, to people screaming at each other over trivial matters, it's all calculated to drive me up the wall, or so it seems.
I have plenty more ammo where that comes from, but I figure this should get the ball rolling to begin with:)

IRL: Guy: You're so cute! I could look you in the eyes all night long! Girl: Thank you!
On "Reality" TV: Guy: You're so cute! I could [BLEEP] you in the [BLEEP] all night long! Girl: [BLEEP] you!

The majority of reality TV sucks.
I do like shows like "The PickUp Artist" "Tough Love" and the like.
Also, best "reality" show ever: Joe Schmo Show

I don't like sell outs. More over I don't like bands that preach "FUCK CORPORATE AMERICA" and then jump on a record label's cock. I'm looking at you, Green Day.
I'll defend that Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time.
Hair/Glam "Metal" fucking rules.
Any combonation of Ska/Metal makes my penis tingle with glee.
I love ska.
I love reggae aside from the typical "LOLZ BOB MARLEY I SMOKE WEEDZ".
The Beatles are terrible.
I believe "radio-metal" is terrible. Slipknot, Korn, and even Metallica to a certain extent.
The Ramones nor the Sex Pistols started punk.
I'll defend that Jim Morrison is one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
Prog metal, aside from Queensryche and perhaps Rush, is not my cup of tea.
Bands who make it a point to be as loud as possible blow.
Fuck pig squeals.
Joe Satraini(SP) is not that great.
I hate kiddies that listen to "Guitar Hero / Rock Band" music. When I mention Pearl Jam, the first thing everyone thinks of is "LOL U MEAN EVENFLOW ON GH!". Please die in a fire.
Incubus and Saxon are SO fucking underrated
AC/DC is OVER FUCKING RATED.
That is all for the time being.
