this whole trend of rappers colaborating with these alternative musicians.
^
? Linkin Park & Coldplay? smh. i’ll be nice and say that there were a handfull of MC’s throughout the history of rap who have colaborated with alternative musicians and were pretty damn succesfull at doing so. Jay gets zero credit for this one.
^^^
Jay broke no new ground in this area. Why? Because while Coldplay and Linkin Park are not hip-hop, they are also NOT ALTERNATIVE. They are two of the biggest bands on planet earth. U2, Springsteen, status. Not in quality, but in ability to sell out HUGE arenas, etc.
If Jay would have done a collabo with Sun City Girls or fucking Jandek, it’d be a different story.
Jay was not breaking the mold, he was just collaborating with people as popular (if not more) who just so happen to not be rappers or r & b singers.

Coldplay and Linkin Park to people are a big deal but Daft Punk? Shit they made tracks that were popular like the Macarena but were cool as fuck and became instant pop culture icons with the music to their image to this day. They didn’t come to do their first tour in the US until almost 15 years after they released their first album and them shits were epic. Ye sampling parts of Daft Punk (technically a collab) was a big fucking deal around the world. I got nothing to say on the Paramore chick collab other than anybody that was a part of that sucks and isn’t helping the art form music.
Daft Punk > Coldplay and LP and yeah they different but shit the impact is bigger and plus who the fuck did Coldplay and Linkin Park influence? You can thank Daft Punk for Justice, M.I.A, and the album Graduation which btw made a shit load of money and got great reviews.

Before you say a nigga dont spit about nothing, make sure your not judging your statement off one song.
Second off, this nigga VADO is 10x more LYRICAL then Drake or Lil Wayne. They are just better at making songs and singing then him.
3rd off, hop off Andre 3000 nuts! Just because lil Wayne and Drake are both currently sucking him off right now dont mean that you have to follow. 90% of you 1990 n ^ niggas couldn’t recite one 3 Stacks verse from the 90′s, much less understand it. Therefore you have no say…. Be you!

i didn’t see anything out of the ordinary yesterday in that game. and they know they were wrong because because they wouldn’t say what the call was for. they should have won that one, but of course the US just folded, took the call and settled for the tie. the US team sucks anyway, so who cares…

She defends the practice as no different than radio payola, and asserts that other hip-hop publications sell their covers indirectly. “Let’s say [a rap magazine] says, ‘If your clothing line pays for the back cover ad, we’ll put you on the cover,’” she says. “I don’t see what we’re doing as any different, or unethical.”
Yet Joe Saltzman, a professor of journalism at USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, notes that payola is unethical and illegal, and argues that Ozone’s practices are a clear breach of journalistic ethics.
^
yo eskay you see this? don’t let mr. ecko convince you it’s cool to sell shares in ya brand for pub. he jus a graf head. y’all get caught up in payola and ad revenues, he’s just gonna go back to bombing trains and billboards and not in NY.

Nope. Where do you think they both got the throwback jersey idea from.
Philly.
We have been wearing throw backs forever. Thanks to America for burning out our style.
Mitchell and Ness is in Philly.
They just finally blew up. I was taking in their as a kid in the 80’s. They been around forever.
Remember that was right around the time Jay was messing with Beans and State Prop.
^cosign. I’m a Baltimore native and one of my manz went to Del State. Kicked with a lot of Philly ninjas and I remember him coming back to B’more with some EXCLUSIVE buckets.
Outkast are the only ones who might’ve been the VERY first to rock ‘em (see: Rosa Parks video) publicly because there’s actually a novelty throwback store down there in GA that I used to browse via Internet. But Philly dudes definitely had the throwbacks on smash. M&N was on fire.

listening to Marcberg right now, wake n baked, but I gotta go study.
Man this album is like chill gully or something, just nice. I like it.
I also found some old lyrics of mine, ohhh man hahah
Phenomenon,
I used to play and shit, I think they only need to use a hand signal or sometimes its just very obvious to the players.
At least i thought some type of signal was needed. Sometimes it’s the reward/action awarded after the penalty that shows what the penalty was. Hopefully the commentators say what it is to.
But I think it’s kinda ridiculous if they don’t. I’ve beenw orking and studying, so I haven’t even caught a game. I’m losing.
and I gotta get the fuck out of here and study. So fucking nice in Boston. Enjoy yall Saturdays

Speaking of FootBall what are the thoughts on the Vuvuzala??
I was sitting in my living room and after a while I thought to myself “What is that??!!” It sounded like a swarm of African Hornets.
Come to find out is was 30,000+ Vuvuzelas. Apparently they are a part of South African culture. They’ve only been around for under a decade but I guess they’ve grown fond of the amplified kazoo.

Daft Punk > Coldplay & Linkin Park, obviously
What I meant as far as ”B-list” was that no matter what, Daft Punk, while their songs might be known by a great number of people across the world are still not as populist/popular as Coldplay or Linkin Park. Hence showing why Jay really was not pushing any boundaries or doing something cool or particularly wild. Even when Jay used the singer from Empire of the Sun, it was on the intro and you could barely hear the dude.
Trust me, as a dj in places that are NOT hip hop club at all, I know the power of Daft Punk’s music.
As far as new rappers trying to get “weird” by rapping over LCD Soundsystem or Lykke Li or having Francis and theLights produce a song (Cudi & Drake, respectively) they only do that shit on free internet freestyles or deep album track that will never get a video, etc.
Most rappers & producers have terrible taste and would either not know the great shit that’s out there to sample and make hot or choose instead to use trash like “We Built This City” instead.
