[King Chaos]

Im not sure what a collection of all these statements are going to achieve. I doubt this will even be seen by the members of the public who assume metal is a breeding ground for Murderers and delinquents.

Although every artist there does seem to waffle on the same point - You get any cross section of a community/group and there's bound to be one or two unhinged twats.

Mikeal Arkerfeldt's response was hilarious. He just starts talking about how violent hip hop is. Like that changes anything in conjunction to metal crowds.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

According to Åkerfeldt, the first song that he wrote was called "I hate hip hop".

 

[painergrey]

The most funny names to see there are Lupus Thunder (BLOODHOUND GANG), hahaha... and Evan Foster (Boss Martians)...
my favorite statements are the ones from John Bush, Albert Bouchard, and yep... Evan Foster

 

[Dark idea]

All hip-hopers say it all the time : being a rapper is a dangerous buissness....In my head we always see some big hiphopper gangs with alot of guns....we hardley see a metalhead gang waiting for someone with guns!
I think my point is made

 

[mousewings]

Very interesting. Yeah, but I doubt the average member of the public will see it/take the time to read through it.

i never got credit for being the person who gave her the new record.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Well here's your drunken (but not too drunk since I can still correct my spelling mistakes) credit - good lyrics. I still haven't heard the song though.

*shakes your hand ever so gently to avoid inducing vomit*

it's a very good album. i don't even think one has to be much of a fan of hip-hop or rap to enjoy it.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Get on the hub then. Damn you if you can't use fulDC/DC++.
And vomit, hah. I didn't even vomit on New Year's Eve, and I was drunk then...now I'm just...something.
I should probably read that article or whatever is behind that link by now.
Well that was pretty useless.
