i admire your open mindedness to music

I see you’re getting right into synthwave.. very cool. =D I’m in Melbourne’s synthwave community. A lot of what I listen to is at irl events or via Twitch so not much of it scrobbles.

Hey! Just wanted to say that you have amazing music taste 🖤 Love The Weeknd and nowhere,nowhere. I’ve had Trauma Factory on repeat all week.

>>Ex metalhead What made you leave metal? Nice charts by the way.

Hi, I remember you're very deeply into nu-metal, could you recommend me some stuff with creepy, eerie sound effects similar to how Korn used it? I'm trying to find nu-metal in the similar vein right now and surprisingly there's a shortage of such stuff it seems...

Varg drives a fiat panda lol.

lol limp bizkit.... well arent you just the baddest motherfucker of them all?

How come it's taboo for a pop singer to sing a song that he/she hasn't written? In comparison, it's okay for Bruce Dickinson to sing songs he hasn't composed (he plays no instruments) or written (he's rarely the main lyricist with exception of No Prayer For the Dying).

You've a diverse taste. I like that, my friend.

She's got a few lyrical stuff. Lauryn Hill is considered the best female rapper any ways, so Fugees is a good place to start.

I used to like 2Pac's 7 Day Theory record a lot. It's pretty funny when he's all buttmad whilst Biggie was chill af. Listening to 2Pac never crosses my mind now whenever I'm in a rap mood.

Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga, Bahamadia and Jean Grae will hopefully change your mind on female rappers.

She's considered one of the best female rappers. Used to be in a group called Outsidaz and in a group with Busta Rhymes.

I believe Em said Juice dismantled him. Been looking up shit and apparently Em lost to Rah Digga lol.

Not sure, I haven't scrobbled anything yet.

I don't know how many he lost. He got to the semis and then it became a 4 way final cuz Rhymefest was complaining about his match with Doseone. In any case, Eminem blew up after that and I don't think he battled anyone afterwards.

That was one of the lamest beefs ever lol. As long as beefs don't end in physical altercation, I'm fine with them. Beefs should be settled with a battle rap imo.

Have you seen his "beef" with Meek Mill?

I don't think he gave a reason why. As for nihilism, I haven't really read into it much but ANUS always talks about it in relation to metal.

I remember Varg say something about the guitar being a negro instrument lol. NSBM aside, he does make a strong point about the brocore culture of metal. That never really appealed to me but the mythology and stuff like nihilism did.

Hope I don't get muted for a Varg copypasta like I did when I posted a copypasta of a fatwah against Opeth lol. In any case, I pretty much agree with him and get why he spent more time at Techno shows than Metal parties.

I think the metal culture is n*gger culture, in the sense that the traditional metal people look like, behave like & think like a bunch of "white n*ggers". It's (at least often) an extremely primitive, unintelligent & pointless subculture, like all rock 'n roll subcultures are. I too listened to metal music, but I never behaved like a n*gger just because of that, and I don't understand what the point with this metal subculture is. Smoking pot or getting drunk, sleeping around and giving each other venereal diseases, partying all the time, going to concerts to meet other vacuum-heads, and so forth. What's the point? Even bush-n*ggers can be more sensible and constructive, and deeper than that. The true attraction people have to this particular subculture is probably something else, like contempt for the modern world, fascination for death and the gothic, romanticism and even Pagan values, but it all becomes so very wrong when mixed with traditional rock 'n roll or heavy metal culture.

I didn't intend on getting involved and put off giving my input. But some of the points compelled me to give my 2 cents worth. In any case, I don't get the vitriol when I've stated that I do like Eminem.

Did you block her?

Taylor Swift's Fearless was gr8 country pop. I may not like his music but respect Drake for showing love to King Of The Dot, one of my favourite battle rap leagues. He was a co-host in the Dizaster vs DNA battle, which is up on youtube.

Drake has always been a mixture of R&B and club rap back when I first heard Forever and then his debut Thank Me Later. He's got a great R&B voice so it's a shame his lyrical topics are so hedonistic. Emotions work in songs like Tha Crossroads (Bone Thugs), Betrayal (Gang Starr), Russian Roulette (Sadistik) and Uncommon Valor (Jedi Mind Tricks) to name a few. But I prefer either jazzy/funk rap like De La, technical rappers like MF DOOM, braggadocio rap like Mobb Deep or Experimental stuff like RJD2, Dälek etc. Cage's Depart Me is like rap rock and pretty eclectic. That's where he fell off imo but Kill The Architect was a great comeback for him.

She not he lol. Yeah Drake is basically trap rap. I don't like that stuff but don't see how it's any different to other braggadocio rap. I disagree with what you said about emotions - works well for Eyedea, later Cage and Sadistik. It's interesting how when Cage went "emo" on Depart Me (2009), you got Eminem's Relapse and Recovery within a short time frame.

Lol I've seen that.

nice charts... hippa to da hoppa

Oh, I agree. "Metalheads" are possibly the most close-minded music community, and a lack of curiosity implies a lack of intelligence, simple as that. The guy is totally a troll, though, I'd be surprised if he wasn't being ironic with every comment.

I find it quite entertaining nonetheless. Really interesting taste also, very diverse.

Bad is pretty good. It's the only record I had on vinyl. MJ always had a great sense of rhythm and melody despite not being able to read or write any music.
