What Are You Doing Right Now? (175 Viewers)

[Sheik Yerbouti]

What worked and what differentiated them is that they were ahead of the self-parody that followed in the 80s. Suddenly everyone who could pick up a guitar, a can of hairspray, and leather pants at the thrift store decided they could be rock gods and make a lot of money. Many of them did, but they either died from cocaine, syphilis, or obscurity within 5 years when the 1990s hit them in their powdered faces. Their music never made it out of the self-parody stage, which is why it sounds so derivative and joke-y today. They had no talent nor vision and could only emulate what they thought would sell.

I never really got into glam rock and hair metal. I just never found it appealing. Maiden set the standard for metal for me, and I never really listened to anything worse than that.

The problem is when you say "metal" to this day, it gets combined with everything that followed.

I never much subscribed to the whole Manowar campaign of the 80s of "Death to False Metal", but it did crack me up a lot at the time. (Not to mention I did like a lot of Manowar too.)

Major Lazer made one good song.

They did that bubble butt song right?

I enjoy Joey Badass

He is really bringing the game back along with the likes of static selektah and scram Jones making breasts for artists like him

For sure, kid is very legit, lyrical without pretensions, old school feel while being very fresh still. Barely adult and already working with producers like the ones you mentioned, and Preemo.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Wait, there's someone named Joey Badass :sergoi:

 

[Osman]

tyler the creator, danny brown, angel haze

As a chi-town native, what do you think about chance the rapper?

Major Lazer made one good song.

Tried it all? He makes productions for like 4 different genres of music (with friends) , mainly party music, origin being electronic (under name diplo), is big on fusion and blending genres. Done a lot of good stuff for dancehall and reggae (the reason the name major lazer was created).

Dancehall is one of the worst things that happened to the music industry.

Back to making tenders. And we all know you can't make one when you are sober.

There is someone called 2 Chains, so clearly there is some kind of competition going on for the most brain dead stage name possible.

2 Chains is to rap what Warrant was to rock in the 1980s

 

[Osman]

2 chainz is the Biz markie of today, watch the video for his song birthday song, fucking hilarious
