I am against!
Explains the only vote for "Against" in your poll.

I don't understand why you're against it. Might be helpful to explain.

I'm definitely for it. Linkin Park has been so restricted under Warner Bros. Now that Mike is doing this side solo project, and is doing it under a label which is partly his (considered to be owned by all of Linkin Park), he can experiment more and we could see more of Mike's musical ideas. Everyone says Hybrid Theory EP was one of their greatest works...well that's because they had been Independent and had less restrictions and of course, made it more interesting. This is Mike's chance to break his restrictions and show what we, Linkin Park fans, have been waiting for.

How could you be against it, though? Do you think that by doing this, Mike is trying to seperate himself from Linkin Park or something? You gotta explain it.

for it.

everyone needs a side project. can you imagine if you didnt have another way to release?

besides, it gives everyone a chance to streach their wings.

saying you're against it is like saying you're against Joe directing vieos.

That doesnt really explain why..... ;)

So you hate side-projects. And even if the side-project is good you will still hate it just because its a side-project?

I thought you would have figured out by now
that linkin park = side projects :lol:

I dont mean to be rude but i think your just a rock type person and since this is hip hop its natural 2 go against it. Imean look at all the side-projects, theyve all been more hip-hop oriented (Reanimation, Collison Course and Fort Minor). So i can see why you dislike side-projects.

Side projects like Frat Party and Live in Texas i like them.

i am for mikes solo project. simply cause i have loved all the other side projects. i am usually more into rock music but these side projects have opened my eyes to the good side of hip-hop music cause all i thought hip-hop was about the bling bling and girls which i hate. now i can listen to good hip-hop cause i know what else is out there! ^_^

If you don't like the idea of Fort Minor, then just leave it be and stick with Linkin Park themselves. It's not as if they're going to release a new album in the next decade anyway. :P

05-02-2005, 07:48 PM

definately for - mike has said in interviews and press releases that he feels that he hasnt been to express himself in the best possible light whilst with LP. so why not put out a cd..... i say fair play to him. i'll follow whatever he does and what any other members of LP desides to do later in life ^_^

Bexyboo

05-02-2005, 07:51 PM

I'm for the album. I always thought that Mike was the talent in Linkin Park, and this album is going to let him show it off. :) I just wish him good luck and success with the album.

djg1285

05-02-2005, 10:45 PM

For, of course. But now that LP is in this legal trouble with Warner this may get pushed back (as Machine Shop is part of Warner, I believe). Hopefully not though, as this could be great. Mike was basically the man behind Reanimation, one of their most interesting and diverse albums, and I'm sure this will at least match that.

A good portion of Linkin park fans that dont lend an ear to hip hop will hate this and also the idea behind it.
I don't listen to any hip-hop, but if this solo cd is anything like his solo songs like Step Up, High Voltage, or Dedicated, I will be extremely pleased.

EDIT: I'm for it!

I voted "For" because I'm going to buy it and listen to it when it comes out, regardless, but whether or not I'll still be saying "for" shortly after is up for grabs.

I really do think it will be good, though, I have faith in Mike.

I vote 'for' even though I hate most hip-hop, and I will explain why (so no one has to ask why). Most people associate hip-hop with rap, right? Well, essentially, they are the same thing (in my mind, correct me if I'm wrong). Mike doesn't rap about stupid things, or just say shit about hos. He actually puts a message in his lyrics, rather than a catchy beat with random shit. There ya go. Feast on that.

Yeh they pretty much the same thing. But, Hip Hop is the culture and rap tends to be the music.

There are lots of emcees out there that puts a message in their lyrics. And believe it or not there are actually more rappers of that kind around than the ones that talk shit.

Your just not looking hard enough my friend.

05-18-2005, 04:24 PM

i am for his solo album. mainly because I have always been into his rapping. And I don't like hip hop music, but I love the way Mike throws it down. He just has a way of doing it. I always listen to LP albums waiting for Mike's solo rap part. Now if he's making an album, I don't have to wait, cuz the whole thing will be his solo! I mean I don't know how exactly I'll feel about it until it's out in stores and I buy it and hear it for myself. But I do know that I'm gonna miss that LP style. We'll just have to see. But I love Mike to death...this solo thing was bound to happen soon enough anyways..and I couldn't be more excited for him or the album!

You may not be alone, but you are against an overwhelming majority.

I'm for it, eventhough I wish Linkin Park would concentrate on making a new album as a whole.

I am just really interested in how it will turn out and how it will sound. I'm sure Mike will do a great job and won't disappoint.

Mike isn't alone about putting messages into lyrics, and if you think Hip-Hop is the same as Rap, you really need to get into the culture more. Mos Def, Talib Kweli... underground artists.

definitely for. I believe is fair that Mike has the chance to express himself and create new stuff of his own. This will be really interesting ;)

05-25-2005, 10:15 PM

I'm for it. Mike's contribution to Linkin Park has always been my favorite part of their music. I especially love his lyrics. Knowing what he's capable of, I think his album will most likely be great (can't say for sure yet though, seeing as I haven't heard it).

.in.the.shadows.

05-25-2005, 10:18 PM

For.

I was innitially a little sketchy but then came to my senses and realized that Mike is too loyal to cause the band to break up. Also, I want to hear Mike on his own for once, just him. He's a great lyricist and I'm fully anticipating this.

Definitely for. This is good for Mike, and LP fans. Mike has the chance to do what, I believe, his passion really is. We all know Mike has real rapping talent. I'm really interested in listening to Fort Minor. I think the album is going to be kickass. The fans get to see another side of Mike that doesn't show through most of the time. In my opinion, the album will be a success, and a great experience for Mike. :)

I'm all for Mike going solo, but I'm a little scared if it will affect the band in a bad way. What if Mike does really good on this album and starts to think he's the shit and just decides to split from the group. That'll just tear my little heart up!!!!!!!!!! :(

I hardly doubt his ego is that big. I'm sure he'll split from the group, just not now. Sometime in the future when Linkin Park has broken up, he'll probably continue on his solo work. I wouldn't worry about it now.

In a statement directely from Mike he said that Fort Minor will not affect the band in anyway. He clearly stressed that this DOES NOT mean the band is breaking up in any way, and that this merely a fun side project to do while the band is making preperations for the next album.

I'm sure LP doesn't want to release thier next album on Warner Bros, so they're probably holding out until they can get out of thier contract with warner.

07-10-2005, 05:40 AM

I'd be for it if it was JUST Mike, but I am more of a roack fan and I don't like the other rappers on his songs. Reanimation, Collision Course and now this. I am just sick of it. Also, it will push back LP's next record so it is even worse.

Well when Mike does something it must be good cause he's like the most important piece of LP in the studio [no i'm not forgetting the other guys] so he'll do great

not sure about the other people on the cd [like JayZ :unsure:] we'll see when the cd comes out
