hoke Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Well... I guess there aren't many exceptions in pop (meaning "popular") music... but I was actually pleasantly surprised when I listened to Ani DiFranco with my ex the first time. Not my style of music, but I thought the lyrics were very thoughtful and witty... not bad. I think generally "chick" music does a better job of keeping a level head... though the state of affairs there is still pretty sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put her up there with Tori Amos with her ability to captivate an audience with real soulful music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My I.Q.by Ani DiFrancowhen I was four years oldthey tried to test my I.Q.they showed me a pictureof 3 oranges and a pearthey asked me,which one is different?it does not belongthey taught me different is wrongbut when I was 13 years oldI woke up one morningthighs covered in bloodlike a warlike a warningthat I live in a breakable takeable bodyan ever-increasingly valuable bodythat a woman had come in the night to replace medeface mesee,my body is borrowedI got it on loanfor the time in between my mom and some maggotsI don't need anyone to hold meI can hold my ownI got highways for stretchmarkssee where I've grownI sing sometimeslike my life is at stake'cause you're only as loud as the noises you makeI'm learning to laugh as hardas I can listen'cause silenceis violencein women and poor peopleif more people were screaming then I could relaxbut a good brain ain't diddleyif you don't have the factswe live in a breakable takeable worldan ever available possible worldand we can make musiclike we can make dogenius is in a back beatbackseat to nothing if you're dancingespecially something stupidlike I.Q.for every lie I unlearnI learn something newI sing sometimes for the war that I fight'cause every tool is a weapon -if you hold it right.This was the first Ani song I ever heard. The part about "they taught me different is wrong" completely blew my mind. She's very intelligent. Too bad thought doesn't sell as well as sex and cars.

Now If only Shiek would do the same........ I actually like Styles and Sheek better than Jada. Jada's got talent, but his album wasn't all that great. He spit fire on so many guest appearances and previous LOX albums, then his solo album dropped and was ehhhhhhhh...I'm really waitin for Styles to drop though, that "good Times" joint is hectic!

gonzojournilist Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I think eminem is really the first rapper to go into a status of fame like hammer and vannilla ice. From the underground he used to be featured on stretch and bobitto freestyling lyrics fromhis first album months before it came out. Then I heared that song; I could careless about for comment about moby. It's just the song in general didn't seem like his shit, I thought he sold himself out b/c of shit he's been going through about little kids looking up to him. but just before driving back from spa (which had sick hip hop for a tuesday night) we were listening to the album and it is SICK... some insane shitI just skimmed through the other posts not really reading them but I read JayZ's name somewhere...Queensbridge zooted reef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
