I once had a quote on my office wall: "Mahler is great, Bruckner is terrible". Just about sums it up for me.

I wonder how anyone came up with such a creative quote.

[Al B. Sure!]

Some people value truth over rhetoric....

nah, I like weed song, plus this is my bud playlist... seriously Speer, I dunno why you are so anti-pot? You should try before you knock it. And don't let a few drugged out crackheads determine your opinion of it. People abuse all substances. You can't truly appreciate songs about chronic unless you have been in that state.

right wing rap? what's that like, "Reagan was a bad ass nigga!" ???

[Al B. Sure!]

Sava:

More like Farrakhan than Reagan...

"white people came with AIDs and plagued the ghetto..."

But isn't your line of work being a bull****ter?

oh... well that isn't right wing... anyways, you shouldn't think linear. There are more than two ideologies.

it sounds more like radical urban pride... unless they advocate some kind of political structure...

anyways, here's my rap collection:

2Pac
Bone Thugs
Cypress Hill
Delinquent Habits
DMX
Drag On
Easy E
Eminem
House of Pain
Ice Cube
Ja Rule
Jay-Z
Juvenile
Kane and Abel
Krazie Bone
Master P
Method Man
Outkast
Public Enemy
Ruff Ryders
Snoop Dogg
Trick Daddy
Twista
Wu-Tang

I have lots more artists, but mostly just 1-3 songs. The ones I listed are artists that I have lots of songs from. It's mostly mainstream, but I admit, I've never liked any kind of music enough to get into underground, or independent artists. I don't have a long attention span, so I hear something, I download it, burn it, or buy it (if I must). I'm not one to look for music in a certain genre.

Anything would be preferable to an hour in the company of Bruckner.

Yet Wagner is the only composer where in a performance three hours will go by, but when you look at your watch you find only 15 minutes have passed.

And I know you didn't get that "hour" from a Karajan recording...he'd stretch it to at least an hour and a half!

[Al B. Sure!]

Pekka:

No Nas? no Mobb Deep? no Nature? AZ? Cormega? you're missing out on the best of rap coming from Queens, NYC...

Krayzie Bone? don't tell me you got that disappointing Thug on Da Line album, too? Bizzy Bone is the only Bone Thug still killing it... he may sound like a whining woman sometimes but he outshines the other bone thugs on his solo projects.

nah, never liked Nas, Mobb Deep are punk ass *****es, never heard of the last two. Naughty by Nature was all right, but didn't blow my skirt up.

I only bought the first one... the double that came out in '99. It was all right. I never bothered to buy any of the other Bone solos... plus my taste in rap changed when I bought a system. If it didn't beat, I didn't listen to it. That also is the reason I started listening to some of the No-Limit crap... it had good beats.

Where did you get this anti-Karajan line from? A magazine? Sure it can be fashionable to bash certain conductors, but it isn't serious stuff. In Strauss Karajan has no peer. Some of his other stuff can be less than great (like his Mozart), but that goes for a lot of composers.

Bruckner is just a turgid old fart. I suppose there is something to be said for including him in a special collection of monotonous work, but that's about it.

Brahms, Bruckner? It'll be ****ing tired old Liszt next.... you really have no staying power Boris.

Give me Tristan over that crap any day...

nuff said really..

[Al B. Sure!]

Sava:

Mobb Deep's ironic cause they're both short, their first album came out when they were 15-16, and one of them is always sickly because of sickle cell yet they still act like the hardest thing in rap...

and by Nature i didn't mean Naughty by Nature, i meant Nas' protegee Nature... AZ and Cormega could also be described as his portegees.

(and my bad, i accidently typed in Pekka instead of Sava in my last response to you)

but beat... should've stuck with snoop, 2pac, e-40, kurupt, etc. for that thumping funk or the heavy bass of dmx.
