Yeah they kill the songs within a week or two. I try to stay away from mixing and playing mainstream as much as possible.


I wonder how many people never heard of 50 before this album...

50 Cent - In Da Club

Kid Rock ? he can actually sing, could have knocked me over with a feather too

Kinda like Rob and Carlos *smooth* fantastic song that they would play 90 times a day on every station

I don't list to the radio because it's the same mainstream shit played over and over every 30 minutes which is pretty much what Joe was sayin.


Most of the mainstream rap is ridiculous today and I would prefer Underground anyday.



What's worse is my little cousin was watchin Nickelodeon and they had some little kid doin an Eminem song and acting out the video. Eminem is a great lyricist and anybody who says different really should listen to his freestyles, unreleased albums and other unreleased stuff. You gotta give credit where credit is due and you gotta give respect. The point is, what age group is Nickelodeon directed at again?

Then they have the commercial on Nickelodeon where they're showing the plastic jewelry or whatever for little girls and at the end the little girl holds up her arms and says 'bling bling'.


Gimme a break man. These are 8 year old kids with this dumb shit on tv. I'm a hip hop head and the only problem I have is this retarted stuff they're doin now. It's really really ridiculous.


That is all. Carry on.

I think people should request some of the old stuff that was really good. I personally think some of these artist are running out of fresh ideas. I like Linkin Park, they have great music. I listen to almost every song on their CDs, their new one just came out yesterday

sorry rockafire1.... it must be the worst to hear a song over and over at work and then to come home and hear it too.

Linkin Park,and Creed. There are some others but I can't think right now... cause the song is playing in my head of all the things she said.


And Bee Gee fans out here???

Help!! I woke up with an old Abba song playing over and over in my head and it won't stop!
Maybe if I crank up some some AC/DC on the stereo.....

Hmmm, I will give you that most mainstream rap is terrible today...


Kona0197, when you get into REAL hip hop, it's not as easy as you think and a lot of thought and heart is put into it. I mean, I won't say you or Chef Garry are wrong because we all have opinions.



Hip Hop is a culture and if it wasn't for the DJ, none of it would of started. That's why I said I would prefer Underground anyday, rather than some of these ridiculous artists. These same Underground artist recognize the DJ and recognize the DJ started it all.


If you heard some Jurassic 5, Gang Starr, Eyedea, Atmosphere, Roots or Dilated Peoples to name some, you might not start loving rap, but you would probably realize that there is skill involved, it's not the same mainstream crap and it takes a little more than just simply writing lyrics down.


I will also tell you I love heavy metal, hard rock, jazz, easy listening (Deam Martin and the likes) and symphony and orchestra to name some other types of music I listen to. Of course I also listen to trance, tribal, drum n bass, house/progressive house and r&b because they are the main types of music I DJ. So I know this REAL music you're talkin about. I hear what you're sayin, but you have to open your mind to REAL hip hop. My brother also is a drummer and so am I but haven't been playing long. So I do have an open mind to music and I have to because that is a key feature of being a DJ.



If you wanna see something amazing, click these links. You will see how the DJ has evolved and how the DJ is a musician and no longer just plays records on the turntables.

The DJing being done in these videos is called Turntablism and is mainly the type of DJing I do:

I'm kinda old school... I believe that Hip Hop is a culture and includes many forms of music from rap, r&b, blues, jazz, and party records (as I call them, radio ready music)... don't forget spoken word and poetry and underground artists.

I love country music!! Classics from my Mom's day , and some heavy metal.

hmmmm... I think I should start collecting stuff I like.

and she brings his dog back too and she doesn't wreck his truck and he gets his job back...

I was in Thailand and the Phillipines last month and I think that I heard "The Ketchup Song" by Las Ketchup 3 million times. I was in the mall in Kurat Tailand one day and I swear I heard it allmost continiously coming out of different stores for 2 hours. I thought I had escaped when I got to Manila..... wrong..... It followed me!!!! I'm wearing earplugs here in Japan to keep it from following me......
