I gotta break it up with some Common or something just so I don't ruin a good mood.
Yeah, but not that much to white people. He was like Kaiser Soze to the suburbs. He was more legend than man. You didn't really see him much on TV or hear him on the radio much because he's not exactly media-friendly. He got huge mainly from bootlegs and mix tapes. He's one of the very few rappers who really did build his fame from the ground up.Quote:

Did you hear? Jerome's niece didn't make it home...
Yeah, that's the kind of shit I'm talking about when I say "bleak." I know he's trying to be like inspiring people to take their skills and get out of hell, but god damn, that's rough.
I just listened to myself play through all of System of a Down - Mezmerize album for a study break on my acoustic. Back here again, four macro projects in four days... Nasty.

Dope Show by Manson. I haven't listened to him in a long time, and I decided to give him a listen when I was randomly scrolling through my iTunes. Its not bad background music when I'm doing other things.
Like doing dope?
Never smoked pot.
That crazy record where he's got the fake tits and no genitals is probably the best one he ever did. Seriously! The one with "Dope Show" on it.
He just came out with a new one not too long back. Recorded the whole thing in his basement right after his wife left him.
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Black Sabbath - Children of the Sea
Seriously, I can listen to Sabbath all day.
I have no idea what this song is about but I've always liked it. Sorry if its about some fucked up racial shit or something.
Nothing better than a couple drinks and some music on a warm night, is there?
Oh they say that its ovaaaaaahhhh!
I wish that guitar lick that started at 3:40 would've lasted a lil longer.
lil southern rock
Southern Rock is quality hick music.
Never was into Smashing Pumpkins, but that is a solid song.
I know I have one of their albums, but thats it.
First couple of albums were really good. "Gish" was great. After that, they got too full of themselves.
First song I learned on guitar. I love his guitar work, voice is annoying,Quote:
