    Eels - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

    Great song, probably my favourite of the Eels I have actually.

     

    I'm a big fan of Eels too, but not actually heard all that much of their music to be honest. I used to have the whole of Beautiful Freak, but lost it in a freak computer-related incident and now have a small collection of a couple songs of theirs.

     

    Radiohead--Myxomatosis

    I just picked up on the whole gaming thing again recently, after a bit of a big break for exams and the like. Been playing Doom3 a lot again, still love that game.

     

    Also, been trying to master the hardest side of WoW in my opinion, playing a priest, but I'm sure my hard work will pay off soon enough....hopefully (Priests are so bloody boring).

    Nice generalization there.

     

    For every Brotha Lynch (Wiki: His second album Season of Da Siccness in 1995 proved to be the one of the most gruesome and mysogynistic Gangsta Rap albums ever released, graphically chronicling a life of drug use and sale, promiscuity, ultra-violence, rape, infanticide, and supposed cannibalism. ) there's a Killah Priest and a Jeru The Damaja.

     

    Sure, lots of lyrics are about violence, guns and hoes. But quite frankly, that's their reality, that's their world. And they're writing about it. Writing with tremendous talent and determination. Sometimes I think Hip-Hop's poetry's last refuge. Full of honesty, vitality and emotion. Free of scholarly old farts and mental pre-teens wanking soulless letters for a living. I'd rather hear Snoop telling me bout his hoes than some white boy from Minnesota barking bout his ghetto-consciousness. Yeah, they're hiding behind words, afraid of taking the next step. And that step's on the street, where it oughtta be.

    Super-delayed reply here, but been away from a computer for a couple days so had no chance to.

     

    Anyway, I believe you may be right, I was actually making far too much of a generalization there, and I apologise for it, I was kind of leaning towards the more commercial side of some of the Hip-hop that I've heard recently, I mean I don't know what your opinion on 50 cent and the like is, but I absolutely despise those kind of rappers just for the sole reason that it seems to me they are doing it to be scene and for the money. I might be wrong here, but that's just my opinion on those guys.

    And don't get me wrong, those links you gave the other day were pretty awesome, I enjoyed it and all, but I think it sometimes takes me a little while to get used to some rap/hip-hop before I start realising its intention or what its all about.
