whats better---NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL (eva nataS) \m/

 

[Mike182]

Goth rock, punk and old school rock genres get me :yes:

Personally, I can't stand most "black" music. It promotes sex, drug abuse, and gross materialism, is flagrantly demoralizing to women and has zero artistic merit.

Eminem is tolerable to me because I think that he is extremely talented at putting wirds together and his lyrics are often about things I can relate to.

For me its prog rock, acid rock, industrial, metal, old-school alternative, bluegrass, 70's era rock, and the Man in Black.

of course.... hence the Burzum pic.

Check some of the hip hop groups I mentioned above

that's an incredibly ignorant statement. the afro-american tradition - from the earliest recorded 'negro spirituals' to the electronic music of today - is perhaps the most advanced and definitely the most interesting. perhaps you need to look beyond the top 40.

modern music is 'black music'. without afro-american music we'd all be listening to kenny rogers and german oompah music today. if we were lucky.

(ok, we'd have some nice pieces of modern 'art' music too. but no 'popular music' and probably no interesting post-60's 'art' music either.)

let me just add that for a swede, there's nothing more silly than a norwegian in makeup wearing chainmail. poser indeed.

He's not wearing make-up in that picture.

Now here's some Swedes in make-up battle gear!

i know - but i'm not sure about that scar...

Now here's some Swedes in make-up battle gear!

swedes can be misguided too. besides, they're probably of norwegian ancestry.

You are absolutely right. What I was refering to as "black" music was groups as mentioned on the OP. I fully understand that some of the most talented and influential musicians were/are black people. I should have made my statement a little more clear. I thinks it's hard to claim that music wouldn't have evolved over the years without contributin from black artists though. Thats like saying without Alexander Bell the telephone never would have been invented. It may not have been the same as it is today, but it would still have happened.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

Love this genre:



NELLY!!!!!!!!!!
LL Cool J
N.W.A.
Method Man
Eazy-E
Ice-T
Run D.M.C.
Eve
Public Enemy
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot
KRS-One
Three-6 Mafia
Nas
P.M. Dawn
Salt-N-Pepa - and don't forget Spinderella!

Been really getting into Ciara lately, too, along with Timbaland.



Artistically, I have to give props to Eminem, The Roots, Lauryn Hill, and the Beastie Boys - especially their whole album "Paul's Boutique" which mastered the art of sampling before the whole legal craze began with Vanilla Ice *cough* *gag*


And then there are the old-OLD school artists like Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, George Clinton (now he's FUNKY), and Afrika Bambaataa.............I know I'm forgetting so many great artists, but these are all that came to me off the top of my head.

ROFLMAO--justin timberlake

Actually, JT's music isn't that bad, but he'd certainly have a lot more street cred if he would go deeper into the black community and be charitable to helping defeat poverty..........otherwise he's nothing more than a poser who is profiting off of a musical style that often times portays the plight of many poor black communities.

and tupac---i cant diss

Neither him nor Notorious B.I.G., of whom I was a big fan. Rest in peace, fellas. :flower:




Peace,
Mystic

ah.... poor Rob Darken when he thought wearing the face paint with that get-up was good idea. He's Polish by the way though. Hell, I can find corpse piant pics of bands in the states. Even in Japan! We're EVERYWHERE! :fox:

then i'm sorry if i jumped to conclusions. it's an understandable mistake on both parts, it's hard to know how someone is going to read what one has written. the OP has probably got some part in this too...

well, i say it would be very different, if not unrecognisable. there's no question that the development of modern popular music has been a process where all kinds of cultural influences has had an input; it's just that, if i was to name one, afro-american culture has been involved regarding nearly all interesting developments.

i still believe that we'd be stuck with kenny rogers and german oompah music. with botched KISS make-up. in the forest swinging a pickaxe.
