LMAO!!! I'd figure you wouldn't get this... but Shady Records has a DJ on their roster called DJ Green Lantern, who pretty much puts out all Shady/Aftermath/Interscope exclusives. Thanks to D12world's message board, I know all things in the hip-hop world your average joe wouldn't know (not that you're an average joe
). He is also a producer, he does beats and whatnot. So if you hear D12 mention Green Lantern, they're talking about the DJ.
Anyway, I might as well vent my anger on certain artists:
1.
Insane Clown Posse - The worst gimmick to ever consider themselves "rappers". They could never be given the opportunity to share the same genre of music as Nas or Royce Da 5'9''. These guys are pathetic, they run around in clown make-up, claim they are from the Murder Capital of the USA (Detroit), and then go on radios claiming that they can beat up anyone they meet. They should've stuck with backyard wrestling. With the tiny audience they have from that, they probably still made more money off of that than making records.
2.
Eminem - Before he released
The Eminem Show and
Encore, I would have given him the title of one of the greatest of all-time. His multi-syllable rhyme scheme, punchlines, and charismatic flow was but pieces that made him great. But then, he became the posterboy for pop rap. His latest effort,
Encore, is a pure example of when talent turns to pure dogsh*t. Some good efforts with "Like Toy Soldiers", but nothing can help you out after putting out a song like "Big Weenie" or anything else. He's washed up, and should just hang up his cross-dressing outfits. "Just Lose It" was hip-hop's WORST single ever! I think the hip-hop community is giving Eminem to the pop world.
3.
Linkin Park - Pretty much the whole mix rap with rock thing is annoying as hell. It doesn't work... NO!
4.
Limp Bizkit - Same as Linkin Park. Leave rap and rock be, let them be seperate. Don't try to mix... only Run DMC and Aerosmith could do it.
5.
Big Tymers - Ugh, if I have to hear about "bling" or how much your cars are worth one more time, I'm turning towards another genre of music. Goodness, I can't STAND commercial rap!
6.
Good Charlotte - I don't know if it's just me, but is sensitive losers forming into a band popular? I mean, c'mon... you paint yourselves up and pull music out for women to cheer you for. Wow, dressing up as fruits... you're REALLY expressing what the hell your music means.
7.
N'Sync - A group of wiggers trying to show that being preppy and ghetto at the same time can work. Didn't one of the guys try rocking braids? UGH! And Justin Timberlake trying to cross over into R&B? I don't think so...
8.
Nelly - THE HUGEST SELL-OUT TO HIP-HOP EVER! How in the hell do you start out with something as hot as Country Grammar, and then switch over to collaborating with Christina Augilera, Justin Wiggerfake (I mean Timberlake), N'Sync, and then TIM MCGRAW? Thank goodness someone like KRS-One schooled him in the beef to let him know where his credibility stands to the REAL hip-hop heads as a "rapper".
9.
Blink 182 - I never got the idea in the first place about running around naked. I think they realized how much they sucked, and just tried to bring everyone's attention to their naked bodies, so that no one would notice their horrible music and throw tomatoes at them.
10.
Slipknot - "Wow... we're blood-drive clowns who can't make music for sh*t, so we decide to just yell random bullsh*t and hope that our gimmicks sell, because if we depended on our music, I can see us sitting next to American Idol winners in the dumpster, due to failed careers." Cheesy gimmick, terrible music.
I know I don't listen to rock or anything, but I've AT LEAST given it a chance. In my honest opinion, that's how I feel. A lot of the bands of rock that I see on television I truly can't tolerate.
