Now with that said, i must say a litlte thing that may be controversial. But, Love em or hate em, the new Limp Bizkit cd is ****ing awesome. It can relate to anyone, and if you guys have seen how hard Fred Durst is on himselff, and others, on trying to make the album perfect for himself and fans then youwould know....plus he supports p2p sharing.

That's true of rap. Rap and hip hop are two totally different things. MTV shows rap. Hip hop is artists like Blackalicious, MC Paul Barman, Latryx, the X-ecutioners, etc. NOT what you see on MTV. Listen to some of those artists and tell me nothing's changed. I'm not a huge fan of the culture but I can get into some of the groups. But f@ck rap...it's all a bunch of guys with small dicks bolstering their egos talking about about killing (bet they've never even held a gun) and how much cash they have. MTV has turned into BET and I have to choke back the bile everytime I see that f@cking channel. We need a plan to overthrow them with as much carnage as possible.
As for the new LB...haven't heard anything but the new single but I kinda like it. I've HATED every single one of their albums with the exception of the first one until now. I saw that diary thing Fred Durst did...he seemed a little insincere but as long as the album is good I could care less. Have to hear more of it. Although covering the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" = a good start.
This unoriginal crap isn't restricted to rap though. Listen to the White Stripes and tell me it's not the most unimaginative uninspired piece of shit music you've ever heard. It sounds exactly like The Vines, The Hives, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc. etc. I'm just so thankful that we're at a point where you don't need talent to make music again...it hasn't been this aweful since the early 90's when grunge hit. Difference is that grunge produced a few good bands. Take, for example, that Hot Hot Heat song "Bandages". I seriously hope they're paying Elvis Costello royalties for totally ripping off his style. If they were both rappers they'd be trying to kill each other cuz their bitting his style. I think these people are all a bunch of demons sent to lower the standard. Kids have been tricked by DJs into thinking this shit's got any sort of style or talent when all it's really doing is teaching you to expect less from musical groups. I mean...hell...I've made recordings in bathrooms on a 4 track that had better production value than anything the White Stripes have ever done. They're actually PAYING an engineer to sound like shit. What a bunch of crap...f*ck all of those artists for lowering the standard and f*ck the RIAA for encouraging labels to pick this crap up.
Edit: Juvenile...if you think bands like Linkin Park, Nickelback, or Seether are original I'd like to introduce you to the three dozen bands waiting behind them to take their places respectively, most of which who could do it better. Nickelback especially...they've started their own label full of bands who sound just like them.
