Thank you, I will! :) Honestly, if anyone ever compares me to D_T, this is my RHatO. I could talk for hours about them because oh my god I love this band so much. But I get that the masks can seem kind of silly to some people, and rap isn't for everyone.

Yeah, it was a really great time for music back then. That era was one of rock's highest points ever and when rap started getting good at all.

Also, Semisonic. Completely different sound then what's being discussed now, but I know that's the time they were around and holy poo poo, Semisonic is really good. And Oasis!

Basically yeah, 90s/early 2000s music across most genres is bonzer as hell.

I can confidently say that no matter what happens I will always love Notes From The Underground and American Tragedy, no matter how far into the future. They're the kind of songs you build your life around, you know? They're timeless.

I'm Asian and two of HU(including the best one) are Hispanic, so I don't think that's it. The artform just had a really rough start. It's not like I'm saying rap got good when white people/Eminem started rapping. I think the Beastie Boys were as bad as anyone else was.

That's not what I'm saying. The implication is that I didn't like rap when it was mostly just a black thing as opposed to when more white people became rappers, so that I'm not white is pretty relevent when asking "Is WickedHate a white supremicist who thinks things invented by African-Americans are better when done by white people?"

If you don't think there was any good rap in the first 20-30 years of it's existence as a genre you are racist, even if you are black. Or just a complete loving dumbass.

Edit: Racist might be pushing it, it's entirely possible she just has no cultural literacy to the point it might be considered a physical handicap.

You should listen to their music. :colbert: I highly reccomend Notes From The Underground or American Tragedy, the former is by far their best album yet with the latter second. Like every single song off on them are infinity out of five. Their new album is good too, but still not as good as those.

They also have new masks, although yes, that is a pretty bad video. Song is great though.

Can confirm that song is in fact not great. Might possibly be considered a NATO War Crime. But more power to you if you can actually listen to this and not be violently ill.

Honestly, HU is the kind of thing to me that seems good to the point that the only way someone wouldn't like their stuff is just not being into that style to begin with, but that's a flaw on my part. I tend to get really, really into the things I like and it's hard for me to get why someone wouldn't like something I'm in love with. I really need to work on that.

Not literally one hundred percent of them, but I'd still call it a bad part of rap history as a whole.

70s was good, but the 80's success was more in the area of pop. I don't really like rock from the 50s and 60s at all, except Johnny Cash, who's also the only country singer I like very much.

I'm not a big fan of Hip Hop, but that's a really great book.

Are there any other good books about music out there? I started to read Phonogram a while back and it was so pretentious that I couldn't finish it.
