I'd like to see any rap person pit their musical talent against any rock, jazz, classical or blues musician. i think you'd be surprised at some. i know some rap artists and producers that are very good players. especially the producers. guys like jay z are very knowledgeable. in the season of the "surreal life" , even the goofy flavor flav in one
In my 1st installment of my musical series, we looked at the history and future of hip hop. today, I am going to talk about another genre that draws almost as much controversy, in a very different way, Country music. It seems that out of all the genres, when you ask someone what kind of music they listen to, the most common answers usually exclude either rap or countr
i couldn't disagree with you more rightwinger...but again,,,this was a conversation about democrats allegedly happy to lose a war...funny how all the righties keep jumpin back on to try to "make a point" on anything since the orig. premise of the article has been shown to be false. talk about your "grasping at straws", lol..have fun folks... have a nice day:)
this debate is silly. the report stated that enviromental conditions were improving, not deteriorating...that report was the one on iraq. let's not get confused, lol
I'd say "Jazz" but "Jazz" has a bunch of different styles. i'll probably do a historical piece to get things going, start with tin pan alley, go thru ragtime, big band, swing, be bop, et al...from looking at the 1st installment on hip hop, i think i'll be talking about more specific artists in the replies / emails
There's been no balanced reporting in the MSM at all. oh God, still blaming the media? whatever daiwa...have fun...
thanks for your well thought out response terp, i really do appreciate it. i have just a couple of comments on it... i think your perspective is reflective of other hawks as far as the historical remembering of the past. some of which i agree with, some i don't. but those things are a lil off topic, so i'll move on...we don't need to start a whole nother debate there... <td class="mb-B
miler...here's my source on the voting on hr 114, the joint resolution to authorize the use of force against Iraq, sponsored by dennis hastert. WWW Link it's the senate website, no spin, no bias. and that was the best you could do? nitpick 1 voter? pUHLeaaaassse!!! run along now...
You have no clue what I can or cannot be "bothered" to do, Sean. Your arrogant condescension is not flattering to you whatever...proof was in the pudding, despite your protest. can you see now that KO's "rant" was based on specific statements? care to take your smug lil statement back at least?
Nicely done. This is not the kind of article I would usually read (I'm bored; only two PC's to work on; one's as done as I can make it and the other's running scans), but it's quite an informative piece. thanks gideon. i find some of the best articles when i am in those bored states myself, so i can relate. perhaps i'll be covering some other musical styles and subjects you will be more "into" down the road.
Ok, yeah, it has rhythms, but where are the melodies and harmonies? The "singers" don't sing. They speak ok,,,technically speaking...even if someone speaks in monotone (voice does not change pitch) that is a melody. it might be a boring one (subjectively speaking) but it is a melody. now most rappers don't rap in monotone, and likewise, the pitches of their voice make a melody. also, there can be a musical melody as well. har
As much as you'd love to say this article reflects my position, I've not stated, nor will I state that it does or does not. ok then,,,again, what is your position?
It's not "my position" it's the position of the USA Today writers that published the original materials. Try again ... so, will you now be acknowledging that it is your position or will you be calling this article out as a spin / lie that you parroted and didn't dispute or actually fact check?
well terp, from what i've read of your stuff, you support bush. if i am wrong, please enlighten me. but your statement in the article "sunni's ready to cooperate with us" for example said this... I'd encourage some folks to read this slowly. This is important news. Where we could be reading more bashing articles on how the situation in Iraq is deteorating, it is instead improving. The last group of political holdouts is seeing the light and
that article, and your parroting of it are a misrepresentation. check the poll results. the question at hand had the following response... 19. Still thinking about Iraq, how much do you trust each of the following to recommend the right thing for the U.S. to do in Iraq – a great deal, a fair amount, not much, or not at all? [RANDOM ORDER] 2006 Dec 8-10 (sorted by “great deal”) Great deal Fair amount Not much Not
ugh...i edited out some typos and most of the article disappeared...i think i got it all back now tho,,,my apologies...enjoy:)
I could sit here all day and cite examples of the MSM deliberately misrepresenting news. I can also cite examples of fake or in far left terms "faux" outrage directed at republicans and not democrats who do the same, if not worse, actions. on jefferson,,,that was and is being widely reported. i don't think chris matthews lets a conversation abou
No, it's not. I can quote many democrats who declared Saddam was a threat, had WMD's, and should be removed. 1) there are many "threats" in the world. 2) many didn't believe he had WMD's in 2002. and whatever any individual believe 23 voted against the war. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95
you did neglect to mention that the article is about livestock...not cows (tho you did mention chickens) ya left out pigs, lol...mmmmmmbacon. but more importantly, the report says that the conditions affecting the environment for the most part are improving, due to various factors, none of which have anything to do with me eating more steak (tho i'll eat a steak for no good reason anyway). for awhile, the agriculture industry grew at a ra
What are you talking about? Please explain how you are now blaming Cuba on Bush? i don't want to speak for the Col. but i think what he means is the opportunities we have had to get inclusive with cuba in recent years have been squandered by this administration in some folk's opinion. i doubt he was talking about castro coming into p
No he doesn't mean MSNBC. he said MSM which if I'd have to guess, means you don't know it stands for Main Stream Media. thanks for the correction miler...actually, i misunderstood because of the context with CNN. thought it was a typo. i am more than familiar with the generic painting of everyone except fox news and right wing pundits as "MSM" as
You only see Foxnews as dishonest because its bias isn't in line with your bias. CNN and especially MSNBC are pretty far left in much of their reporting as well. that's not true brad. in the example i cited in these replies, fox diliberately misrepresented the ACLU's position and neglected even mentioning their participation in the christmas cele
But democrats told me Saddam was a threat, and that he had WMD's. 23 democrats didn't say that in the senate. the democrats were divided in 2002. your statement is blatantly false and misleading. the only party that was unanimous for the war were the republicans. the democrats were divided, the libertarians were against as were most oth
thanks a lot man again. any particlular genres you would like to discuss?
thanks alot man. i do like to think that i have a good sense of balance and understanding between the business side of music and the artistic side. i've seen it from both, and appreciate both. tho, i am an artist at heart and in a perfect world, art would rule exclusively. but reality isn't that way. the business side isn't quite as sinister as some would believe most of the time, but it is fiercely competitive always and uber greedy sometimes. i think
