Probably some of that sarcasm we Americans don't see the point of.
Prince or Jimi? I've heard Prince play several acoustic sets and believe me the guy can play! I knew he was a good guitarist but he blew me away.Anyone ever heard him play an acoustic set.....?

Whoa...I always admired Prince's music, mate. When he had the choice to get stuck in the current pop mold or break out and show some innovation, I felt he took the higher road.Kriminal wrote:Prince is crap. If he pulled his head out of his arse long enough to actually look and listen to the stuff he's written, he'd prob agree. Same goes for Jimi Hendrix. Anyone ever heard him play an acoustic set.....?

And Hendrix wasn't content with the same old rock n' roll wankerage. I mean, he showed thousands of impressionable youths of the day it was cool to play your guitar arse backwards and set it on fire.
Heh, heh...it was because of him that I sent a rented Hammond L-100 up in smoke at a gig once.

Bah! Had to skip several pages (probably mostly tedious), but I ended up at the last page to what... Jimi bashing???
Gadzooks, man!!!
You might be able to listen to Jimi... but you apparently don't "hear" Jimi.
(or something like that... White Men Can't Jump... )
Even in the guitar-playing community there are people who don't give Jimi proper respect. I can't complain, I suppose, since I hear Amon Tobin, Boards of Canada, or whatever other electronica you throw at me and think, "What, so you just play a note and widdle some knobs?"

As for Prince... didn't read the page where someone questioned his abilities, but anyone who would so so clearly doesn't know shit from Shinola(tm). He's a talented musician in general, and an accomplished guitarist especially.

Thats two bands, though, and '88 was after this lot started doing it, really. Cypher got it.
But shouldnt just the fact that suddenly everyone is thinking of other punk/rap 'crossovers' 15-plus years ago make crunk just another rehash of summat done ages ago...
Pay attention.
Crunk does not equal any of the stuff you mentioned. This is not a CRUNK thread it's a Punk hop thread. two different genres. But you couldn't be bothered to read.

prince is black and uses guitars, does that mean HE's punk hop too?
No Prince is not punk hop. Punk Hop has to have PUNK in it and I've never heard prince play punk. Prince is funky and rockin in his own right tho.
PWEI may have been a punk hop precursor along with MC 900 FT Jesus and believe it or not EMF. But they all lacked the hip hop chops and experienceto make it credible.
I suggest you listen to Fly or Die its a f**kin punk hop song. For a tune to be punk hop it HAS to have punk in it, got it?
"She Wants to Move" is questionable. The elements are there but its too crossover/mainstream which explains why it was the first single off of the album. Fly or DIe the Album is not all Punk Hop. But N.E.R.D knows what's going on in the underground so they snuck in a few punk hop tunes. This is one of them:
Fly or Die Lyrics (since Spaceman wanted them:
Fly or Die
by N.E.R.D
Oooh [x3]
Fly..
This is for the kids!
This is only for the kids!
Mummy,
Daddy,
I know,
You love me,
Bad grades,
Playstation,
Restriction,
You took it from me,
Well God forbid,
Something goes wrong,
You call,
The police,
Well guess what,
I found,
In the drawer of daddy's
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
Hey!
It won't be long,
Till you see me on the news!
Another soul lost at sea,
Or taking a cruise!
Gasping for air makes the righteous path,
Harder to choose.
Well its either fly or die,
Sink or swim,
Which one shall I choose!?
Stupid shrink
Get paid,
By the hour,
350.
He can't,
Figure out,
Whats wrong,
With me.
Dumba$$,
Girlfriend,
Fcuked my friend,
She's a hoe.
Try tellin,
Mumm and dad,
But they more concerned with their portfolio.
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
Hey!

Now I'm in,
With the negotiatior,
And he says to me:
"You dont wana die boy,
It's not the right time,
You have a bright mind,
You'll do great things,
In your lifetime."
I screamed "no"!
I beat his a$$,
He turned around,
I seen his wings, (bling!)
And just then,
The bell rings,
I was in school,
It was just a dream.
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
Oh God (Oh God)
