311: Use of Time

With the words slaying me slow
The verbs that just don't flow
Confusing use of time
Partial stoning of the heart
Waiting for something to start
Confusing use of time

But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time

But everytime I turn the volume down
All the I hear is the deafening sound
Of your hearts pound

But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time

Today, the longest day
Hearing repeating things you'd say
Confusing use of time
Can you hear the void I describe
What could I say vacancy sounds like
Confusing use of time

But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time
 
Though you didn't "dig" hip hop?

I generally don't, I can count the current rap acts I like on one hand and most of them aren't popular at all.

So there. By the way, this is an A and B conversation, so C your way out of it! :tng:
 
Hey you guys, I'm a way bigger music snob than ya'll will ever be, so don't even try to beat me in picking the most unpopular, subversive, and subcultureish act possible. Just name a genre bitches!
 
Hahahah! Nerdcore hip-hop huh? I want to see a new genre called rich white bluebloods rap about being white and rich. I've seen enough black rappers talk about shooting bitches and sippin' hennessy(sp?) I want to see rich, white bluebloods rap about playing golf and flying around the world and being rich. I want to see Princes Harry and William do a rap video about being rich and white.

And I'm totally serious. I think this could catch on big time.
 
As annoying and stupid as rap is these days, rich white blueblood rap can't be that far away.

Anything would be better than Lil Jon, that's just plain horrible music. And, yeah, I get that you're supposed to hear it in the club. I've heard it in the club. It still sucks.
 
The Heart Of The Matter
Don Henley

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
 
Paranoid

Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify

Can you help me thought you were my friend
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it’s too late

You haven't been to the right club then, my friend.

Hah! Unique, anyway, right?

You might like Black Star, too, it's Mos Def and Talib Kwalie, very smart hip hop.

Black Star is quite good. Mos Def has kind of fallen off after he went after his movie career, and Talib has gone a little to pop for me... although "Get By" is a fantastic song. The sample is a chopped up Nina Simone piano riff.

There's plenty of good hip-hop out there. There's a record label called Quannum that's based out of the bay area that is all good.

Have you checked out other Rawkus labelmates to Mos and Talib?

You make is sound as though it's a competition, not a discussion, biatch. :rolleyes:
 
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

~Hurt, Trent Reznor
 
In my hour of need
Ha, no, you’re not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn’t lend a hand.

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me.

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You’re the only one that I’m thinking of.

You’ll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too.

Things will be better when I’m dead and gone
Don’t try to understand, knowing you I’m probably wrong.

But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you’d turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?

I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land.

There’s a better place for me
But it’s far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first,
Please God send me on my way.

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone so alone, I’m lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain.

Won’t you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away.

In my darkest hour.


~In My Darkest Hour, Megadeth
 
I just wanted to hear someone say "nerdcore hip-hop."

:D

I want to say MC Chris will be playing at the 40 Watt sometime soon, but I could be wrong about that. If he does, I may come down to your neck of the woods to see him. I think I might definitely be seeing Spoon in November.
 
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can´t I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day

I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where´s my friend I used to know
He´s all alone
He´s buried deep within a carcass
Searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside your heart
As it´s bleeding
Why can´t you belive you
Can´t be loved

I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation´s colors seem to fade to grey
And you´ll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory

I never thought you´d let it get
This far, boy

80's goth/techno and the 5 most important bands
 
Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way you hold your breath
That's scarring me to death
Well that's your way, anyway, anyway

Everybody talks
We gotta listen to what they say
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing

I don't mean to pry but it's been said
You got Demons in your head
(Screamed: Demons in your head)
I ask real casual

But it's the way I wear my frown
That only helps to bring you down
Well that's my way, anyway, anyway

And everybody talks
We gotta make it make some sense
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing

Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way I hold my breath
That's scarring you to death
Well that's our way, anyway, anyway

Well everybody talks
But people rarely say a word
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
 
Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling coke and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man

Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire"

An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught"

Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know"

The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den
The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll to to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man
 
End Of The Line
Well it's alright, riding around in the breeze
Well it's alright, if you live the life you please
Well it's alright, doing the best you can
Well it's alright, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

Well it's alright, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's alright, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's alright, As long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's alright, everyday is just one day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

Well it's alright, even when push comes to shove
Well it's alright, if you got someone to love
Well it's alright, everything'll work out fine
Well it's alright, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive
And it don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied

Well it's alright, even if you're old and grey
Well it's alright, you still got something to say
Well it's alright, remember to live and let live
Well it's alright, the best you can do is forgive

Well it's alright, riding around in the breeze
Well it's alright, if you live the life you please
Well it's alright, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's alright, we're going to the end of the line
