		<description><![CDATA[<div class="mockup v2"><p>Last time I&#39;ve listened to <i>Asia - Alpha</i>, right before it it was <i>Asia - Asia</i>. The newest album I&#39;ve acquired was <i>Asia - Omega</i> (released last year) along with live compilation of <i>King Crimson</i> (it was a <i>Cirkus</i>). Besides these you could mostly find albums and compilations from <i>Yes</i> and <i>The Doors</i> on my shelf.</p><p>So I guess I&#39;m not in touch with current music either (and I don&#39;t think I can count latest <i>Asia</i> album in, well I could but it&#39;s not mainstream). So progrock predominantly for me <img src="http://www.allegro.cc/forums/smileys/cool.gif" alt="8-)" />

If you&#39;re looking for something recent that&#39;s decent, I have listened to Cee Lo Green&#39;s <i>Lady Killer</i> album a good number of times.  I would classify it as &quot;old school&quot; R&amp;B, but I have no clue what the rest of the world classifies it as

Is that the album with &quot;<span class="cuss"><span>Fuck</span></span> You&quot; on it? That&#39;s an awesome song, and he&#39;s clearly a good singer. Is the entire album good? I only like to buy albums from artists that are awesome from beginning to end. If every track isn&#39;t perfect or near perfect (i.e., you can enjoyably listen to the whole album on repeat over and over again) then I generally feel like I got <span class="cuss"><span>fuck</span></span>ed and throw the CD away. <img src="http://www.allegro.cc/forums/smileys/undecided.gif" alt=":-/" /> Artists should be perfectionists, damn it. <img src="http://www.allegro.cc/forums/smileys/angry.gif" alt="&gt;:(" />

If you want to have a discussion about it, wellll... maybe, but discussions of that nature usually turn into arguments and nothing is solved or learned anyway so it&#39;s usually a waste of time.

I mean...really?</p><p>The only reason people like him get anywhere is because they either know people, have connections, have good producers (who are the people who should receive the real credit in these cases), or give off some kind of viral public appeal to hipsters.
</p></div></div><p>
Talented rappers are very few and far between so it isn&#39;t the kind of genre that is booming with new talent. Talent is relatively rare, but the recording industry is itching to exploit the popularity, and unfortunately the popular kids will buy anything they think is popular (i.e., they have no actual taste). This makes it easy for a record label with some money to make it appear that an artist (of any genre, really) is popular, which means sales, which means profit.</p><p>Rap is awesome, and some hip hop is enjoyable, but you have to watch for the talent. Most of it does suck. It&#39;s hard to fake rap or hip top talent. The music is most often a repeating sequence so while it needs to be enjoyable, it&#39;s usually not the focus of a track which is probably why producers usually don&#39;t get praised for a single track. The lyrics are what I tend to focus on. You can mostly tell who has actual serious talent and who&#39;s just faking it. The really talented producers get notoriety for a career of awesome beats (e.g., Dr. Dre). It helps if they also rap too.

Real music is hard to come by these days.
</p></div></div><p>
Are you f*ing kidding? Real music was hard to come buy two centuries ago, before the invention of the radio, the grammophone, and pretty much all other means of recording and distributing music. Back then, when you wanted music, you had two options: play it yourself, or have someone else play it for you.</p><p>Compare that to 2011: You don&#39;t even have to get out of your f*ing chair to download and play music, and the choice is abundant. The biggest problem is to tell the good stuff (music you like) from the bad stuff (music you don&#39;t like). Even music that isn&#39;t exactly raging popular, and appeals to a relatively narrow audience, can usually be acquired if you click a few times more. A few months ago, I ordered Hermeto Pascoal&#39;s &quot;A musica livre&quot; album (very experimental, hard to follow, mind-blowing to me, complete noise to many others, recorded in the 1970&#39;s and last issued in the early 1990&#39;s by a Japanese company) from a vendor in New Mexico, had it shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, and held it in my hands about a week later, for less than 30 euros (including shipping), in mint condition. So basically, some guy with long white hair and a beard recorded this album in Brazil almost 40 years ago, the tapes were then remastered (in the USA, IIRC), then baked into CDs in Japan some 20 years later, and one of those CDs was shipped first to New Mexico and then to the Netherlands, another 15-20 years or so later. <br />And it wasn&#39;t hard at all.

</p></div></div><p>
No, that&#39;s my personal opinion. If you can&#39;t rhyme well, or are consistently saying fewer than ~7 words between a pause (or per &quot;line&quot;), then you need to give up... <img src="http://www.allegro.cc/forums/smileys/rolleyes.gif" alt="::)" /> Rap is about delivering a lot of clever rhymes in short succession while telling a story or sending a message. Random rhymes are not interesting or relate-able, slow or weak rhymes are boring as <span class="cuss"><span>fuck</span></span>. It&#39;s really quite simple.</p><p>In the example cited by Jessy Lenney above, the first six lines of the second verse are:</p><div class="quote_container"><div class="title">Quote:</div><div class="quote"><p>
Spent a couple dollars on my engine<br />motor roaring when I back out the garage<br />Gin got me drunk as f-ck stumbling out the bar<br />Plus I&#39;m struggling tryna find the keys to my car <br />Cause I be going hard, roll the camera<br />Life just like a movie, I&#39;m the star 
</p></div></div><p>

He doesn&#39;t rhyme engine and garage with <i>anything</i> anywhere. So basically you get to the fourth line without any rhymes. Rhyming bar, car, hard, and star is like 3rd grader stuff, and he&#39;s not even doing it with an interesting message. It&#39;s like every line or two is a completely unrelated thought. Not to mention, he has &quot;hard&quot; is the middle of his 5th line which basically means that the 5th line too doesn&#39;t rhyme with anything (i.e., ends with &quot;roll the camera&quot;). Not to mention it doesn&#39;t flow well together at all. That <span class="cuss"><span><span class="cuss"><span>shit</span></span></span></span> sucks, and that style of slow, childish, message-less rhyming seems to be pretty common these days; though it&#39;s especially prominent in &quot;Southern rappers&quot;. <img src="http://www.allegro.cc/forums/smileys/undecided.gif" alt=":-/" /> For example, Lil&#39; Wayne, for all his fame and success, usually <i>sucks hard</i>, IMHO.</p><p>Even Drake, who is getting all kinds of attention all of a sudden, isn&#39;t very good from what I&#39;ve heard. His rhymes are pretty weak and slow too. It&#39;s nothing impressive.</p><p>I can&#39;t even listen to that <span class="cuss"><span><span class="cuss"><span>shit</span></span></span></span>. I listen primarily to Eminem and 50 Cent, and old stuff from Dr. Dre and Tupac and other affiliated rappers.</p><p>For an arbitrary &quot;statistical&quot; comparison, let&#39;s look at the character, word, [and &quot;line&quot;] counts for the song Forever by Drake (featuring Kanye West, Lil&#39; Wayne, and Eminem; two of which are way over-hyped). This song is actually pretty good, despite only having one seriously talented rapper in it. I grabbed the lyrics from the Web and joined the lines up the way that I believe they should be joined. It&#39;s not always easy to say though so consider the line counts extra superficial. I wrote the lyrics to a file named <tt>lyrics.txt</tt>. The file contained only the verses with an artist header that looked like this: <tt>[<i>artist name</i>]</tt>. If you don&#39;t speak <tt>sed</tt>, <tt>tail</tt>, <tt>head</tt>, or <tt>wc</tt>: <tt>sed</tt> is used to match a single verse at a time by artist, <tt>tail</tt> is used to remove the artist name header line, <tt>head</tt> is used to trim the following artist&#39;s header line and a blank line in between verses, and <tt>wc</tt> outputs the line count, word count, and character count; respectively. Note that since there was no artist header after Eminem&#39;s verse I only trimmed one line instead of two.</p><pre class="terminal">$ sed -nr &#39;/[Drake\]/,/^[/ p&#39; lyrics.txt | tail -n +2 | head -n -2 | wc
     17     150     776
$ sed -nr &#39;/[Kanye West\]/,/^[/ p&#39; lyrics.txt | tail -n +2 | head -n -2 | wc
     22     202    1058
$ sed -nr &#39;/[Lil Wayne\]/,/^[/ p&#39; lyrics.txt | tail -n +2 | head -n -2 | wc
     16     161     813
$ sed -nr &#39;/[Eminem\]/,/^[/ p&#39; lyrics.txt | tail -n +2 | head -n -1 | wc
     19     223    1172</pre><p>

These statistics basically support the way that I would grade the complexity and skill of the verses, with one exception: Kanye West wasn&#39;t even rapping for two lines in the beginning.</p><pre class="terminal">$ sed -nr &#39;/[Kanye West\]/,/^[/ p&#39; lyrics.txt | tail -n +4 | head -n -2 | wc
     20     186     980</pre><p>

Ah, that&#39;s a bit better. There are a few other lines that I think are ridiculous and shouldn&#39;t count, like &quot;old money Benjamin Button, whaat, nuttin&quot; (WTF <i>is</i> that?), but I&#39;ll leave those in for argument&#39;s sake.</p><p>This pretty clearly shows that Eminem has considerably more words (next runner up was Kanye West with ~37 fewer words and he even had an extra line...) and more characters than the other artists.</p><p>The word/word and character/character ratios for x / Eminem:</p><pre>
Kanye West:    0.834    0.836
Lil&#39; Wayne:    0.722    0.694†
Drake:         0.673    0.662‡
</pre><p>

<sub>† This suggests to me that not only does Wayne spit fewer words, but they&#39;re shorter/simpler words on average.</sub><br /><sub>‡ Same story as Lil&#39; Wayne; suggests to me shorter/simpler words on average.
</sub></p><p>None of these other artists even come close to Eminem, in this song or in any other song. Reading through the lyrics yourself should confirm this for you. The file that I used (which probably has a few errors in it; I didn&#39;t write the lyrics out myself) is <a href="http://www.allegro.cc/files/attachment/603813">attached</a>. And for the record, each of these 3 insufficient rappers had relatively good verses in this song compared to their other material (even though Kanye West had a lot of ridiculous filler, he still did have a couple of clever rhymes to pull him back up with the others).</p><p><tt>/2￠</tt>

At first I thought that they were lame but they have grown on me. My favourite album from them is &quot;Pitch Black Progress&quot;. I may buy it, IDK.

It&#39;s light hearted, but I wouldn&#39;t go so far as to call it homosexual...</p><p>It sounds good, except for the staccato parts near the later middle of the song. They&#39;re too staccato, try giving them a little more sustained sound.
