Actually I'm more into rap, but that's okay.

Awesome mixtape, despite the random repeats that Green Lantern scratches.

iam more into rap too - and yeh what are these repeats GL drops every noe and again???

[Evan™]

Cover and Duck is sort of like rap-rock because of the heavy guitars...its really sweeet....but none of the verses are rock typed...

[Feenix]

I must also say how bloody annoying that is in the mixtape when Green Lantern keeps coming along and randomly repeats a bit of the song. It's incredibly annoying.

Anyway, back on topic. I've been surprised how much i'm liking FM. As i'm usually only a rock person and avoid a lot of conventional Hip Hop. But, FM isn't conventional Hip Hop. It's got Mike's twist. Which to me, makes it hip hop, but hip hop done right. The way it should be. Not singing about ho's and pimpin' and bling and guns and chrome rims on your wheels. Those kind of lyrics piss me off severely. Cause it's not original, nearly every single rap, garage and hip hop song nowadays is singing about that. And it adds to the attitude of a lot of chav kids who think it's cool to play with guns and mug people. I'm hoping that maybe, Fort Minor, if big enough, might change a few people's attitudes. That would be great.

Exactly.

I'm not into the whole rap/hip hop thing. But I'm REALLY liking this whole Mike thing though. He's fucking amazing.

Only FM song I've listened to is Remember the Name and don't really plan on listening to more. Most people here know I can't stand rap

[Pinkin Lark]

Mike Jones started something new in rap music with that repeating verses.

Actually, I know you are, because Remember The Name, in my opinion, is the worst FM song and I'm definitely not a fan of rap at all.

its wierd that an lp fan cant stand rap.. thats cutting everything LP stands for down the middle hehehe.. plus Mike Shinoda doesnt really fit into what Rap and Hip Hop is today..

remember the name is a good song but not every FM song sounds like that.. try listening to All Night Rush and Cover and Duck.. its LP sounding

meh

[Kouji03Minamoto]

I'm not enjoying it as much as most people here are, obviously. I wanted something a little more rockish too. :(

[LProx4life]

Hello? Mike is in the rap stuff u should wait for Chesters solo album if you want rock :) I know im enjoying Mikes album

[Kouji03Minamoto]

I, personally, dont like rap at all. Linkin Park is it's own genre of music. It should be: Rap, Alternative, Dance, LINKIN PARK, Techno, Reggae...

[LProx4life]

Reggae? You sure about that? :lol:

[lpjordy]

I just got out of rap right before I heard of Fort Minor. I am liking Petrified and Remember the Name, though, and I'm trying to get into We Major until TRT comes out.

[ebony_miasma]

I am enjoying what I've heard from FM, so far. Sadly, I can't download the mixtape because my home computer has crashed, but I did manage to catch "Spray Paint" before it conked out.

Anyway, I do prefer rock and listen to some rap/hip hop once in a while. I've been kind of a recluse when it comes it "who's hot" in hop hop, to be honest. There isn't a lot that has been interesting me. But Fort Minor seems promising. I'll have to get my computer back to form a better opinion.

[lpjordy]

I like it because it's not all gangsta yo yo I fuck yo bitch wit ma nine shit.

[- [Hybrid Theory E¶] -]

yea! well i cannot wait 2 hear the rising tied! and chesters solo and another new lp album!!!!!!


thats wut i want the most is lp back 2gether with there new stuff! its a great feeling! lol

[Zak]

Reggae? You sure about that? :lol:
He wasn't saying Linkin Park is part reggae. He's saying that he thinks they should be their own genre completely. Like, for example, rap is a genre. So he could have said Dance, Techno, Rap, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Folk, Polka, Linkin Park, Emo, Punk. I don't agree with it, though. I think there could be a new genre made to describe what they do, but I don't think the genre should simply be called "Linkin Park".

Can't wait for The Rising Tied, either. The mixtape was excellent, and I'm sure TRT will be even better.

[Christopher]

I'm more the rock LP kinda fan and i like FM.

I like Mike raps more like Rock kinda lyrics you won't hear 50cent rap about Pain and stuff ike that ...

[Louis]

On the contrary, I do listen to more Rock music, rather than Rap and Hip-Hop. Rock music these days seems to be the typical, but so is the Mainstream Rap and Hip-Hop. So honestly, I prefer Rock music as to Rap music.

But Fort Minor? That's something else. Fort Minor's music is rap, obviously, but it's not typical. It's not mainstream. I can never ever enjoy mainstream because it's like every other rap song out there.. But honestly, Fort Minor is a different story, and a much better one too. Mike's raps have the hip-hop, but a lot of the songs have the dark edge that people know from Linkin Park, which is partly why Fort Minor's music is so enjoyable. A good example of this dark edge: 'Spraypaint & Inkpens', 'Believe Me', 'Be Somebody', 'Kenji', etc.

A lot of respect goes to Mike because of Fort Minor. It really shows us Mike's edge on solo creativity. Instead of having to work within the genre restrictions of Linkin Park, Mike's pulling a Hip-Hop edge that Linkin Park fans can still enjoy. He's unrestricted. This is under his own record label, for one thing, he's working with some amazing artists with extraordinary talent, and above all, he's under the advice of extraordinary artists.

Sure, song's like Petrified and Believe Me may have been a disappointment (Yes, I didn't like Believe Me. The tom-tom part ruined the whole song, in my opinion), but I doubt that Linkin Park could come up the music that Mike has come up with alone.

For those of you guys who don't like Fort Minor, that's okay. We're all entitled to our own opinions. What annoys me though is that some of you don't like rap, and therefore don't like Fort Minor. But you still enjoy Mike's raps within Linkin Park. It doesn't make any sense. Sure, the raps are dark-edged, but it's honestly not that big of a difference. It's still Mike, and it's still his lyrics. It's strange how you don't like Fort Minor's raps but enjoy the raps of Linkin Park.

We're all entitled to our own opinions, I suppose.

Off topic: Sorry if I'm not making a whole lot of sense (I feel like I'm just rambling), I just woke up so I can't think straight.

[Willstar]

I've got no idea if I've posted in this thread or not so I'm going to post right now regardless of whether or not I posted in here already.

I like Fort Minor and I dislike rap/hip-hop. I'll listen to it every once in a while but I don't enjoy it on the whole. Fort Minor, however, has really appealed to me and not just because it's Mike. It's just... different. And awesome.

[YomasterXBL]

I miss the old LP music. I want a new LP cd, not hip-hop/rap.

[Minus Xero]

The mixtape and what I've heard so far have taken me back to days when hip-hop didn't involve all of this gangsta bullshit.

I'm a big advocator of underground hip-hop, and feel that Fort Minor is the bridge that will close the gap between mainstream and the underground.

There are some seriously talented artists out there that deserve better than to be in the shadows of the dregs of hip-hop.

[- [Hybrid Theory E¶] -]

yea ur totally right

like dead celebrity status... there amazing but yet so very underground you kno? lol

but mike is different...his lyrics r still dark like LP but he talks about different things that wont happen to me until im older but songs like ''believe me'' happens to me .... and i hope the new LP album isnt too mature

[Dušan]

I'm more into the rock side of LP but Mike's album is just amazing. I never thought I would like a rap album this much

[EvilDude]

I listen to a lot of rock even punk etc and listened to very little rap before that but this album is amazing. I'm loving it, haven't been listenin to anything but this album the last few days. However this album isn't going to make me get into hip hop / rap etc as last night I went out and at a couple of places, all they placed was dance, rap and hip hop and I was very disappointed with the music. They played Petrified too (fits in well with the other songs, but also sounds a lot better than the other stuff!), but I don't know, for some reason Fort Minor seems a lot better than the hip hop I've heard.

[Snail]

This album turned out to be way better than what i thought it would turn out to be. Simply put, Mike is genius.

[JoMe]

I really enjoy the FM record. But I'm more into rockmusic than rap so I would rather see a new LP record than a new FM record.

[girl15]

i dnt like FM very much...remember the name and where d'ya go are the only songs i listen. but i think they r much better than 50cent, eminem, 2pac,... (or maybe is that just because of Mike...):mike: :P

[flyboy51]

As others have noted there is no gangster lyrics in the rising tied which is what i hate most about other rap songs. I'm much more into rock than hip-hop/rap but this album is great.

[Ameen]

I like both genres so this type of music suits me very well

[- [Hybrid Theory E¶] -]

yea i kno

but do u think ppl just bought this record cuz of mike and hes in lp??

or ppl just bought it cuz they like fort minor??

[thesungoesdown]

FM is awesome! i was intp rap before so i didn't have a problem listening to the album. as a matter of fact i'm more into hip-hop. i like LP with a passion though. strange...

[iamnumb23]

That's not strange, or do you have passion, you just like LP more face it

[arT saveS]

I hate Fort Manure. Smells like shit to me.

[Andrea]

I hate Fort Manure. Smells like shit to me.

LOL.

Are you kidding?

[Minus Xero]

I think you should actually listen to some more 2pac... because in some cases half of the stuff that 'pac has released (i.e. the stuff he released BEFORE he died) is really insightful (and in many cases... [again, in my opinion] better than FM).

For example, probably the most overplayed (but still good) song from 'pac in my opinion... 'Changes.'

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

[Louis]

Yes, 2Pac's music is absolutely amazing material. Take a listen to more of that.

[Pandemia]

I like FM... but I don't think 2pac is better than them...

[Linkin_park_chick]

Im not into rap just dosent do it for me. But Mikes Beats in linkin Park give it that originality. I Prefer lp to fm for sure but Mike did do a great job with the rising tide.

[lparks41]

I enjoy Fort Minor music, but I'm starting to get bored with it real fast...

I am more of a rock fan, I think rap was in it's prime in the nineties. It sounded so much better back then, when we didn't have crappy dance hits like "It's geting hot in here" and "In da club"...

[Zyx]

HELL YEAH!!! I LOVE IT, IT'S THE NEXT BEST THING TO LINKIN PARK FOR ME!
I LOVE THE OMNIPOTENT BEING THAT'S NOT GOD FOR CREATING LINKIN PARK!!!

[DaEnemyz]

i enjoy listenign to fm as much as i enjot listening to lp. they both r just awesome.

[xera]

me too,I like Mike with LP not alone with Rap

[dudeman_OG]

I like FM, but I hate the rest of rap. I was AMAZED when they played Petrefied at my local Skateworld (Rollerskates, not boards). I want to request Believe Me next time I go.

[DaEnemyz]

I hate Fort Manure. Smells like shit to me.

fort minor man. they are not shit.

[LProx4life]

In my opinion i think Fort Minor did a very good job with the rapping.

[natalie_16_2k5]

Well I love both rap and rock. Thats something I love about LP. They create just the right balance between rap and rock.
Well thats my opinion anyway. ^_^
I think FM are great!

[Nick]

i love fort Minor when i first saw the little banner mike Shinoda presents fort Minor earlier last year i was like hmmmmm i wonder what thatl be like and WHAM i learn what its about and bought the special edition Rising Tied 1st day it came out Nov 22nd and i love every song on it but linkin park is still my favorite band but i have to say Mike shinoda really knows how to make an album=P

[DaEnemyz]

cool. now we are getting some positive replys

[-x-ecks-x-]

Actually, Im very much into rock aand not much a fan of ap @ all. Pretty Much white boi Eminem is all I'd listen to rap-wise.

But FM is friggin AMAZING! TRT is an awesome album, and the mixtape is just... wow. So to answer your question. Yes!

[DaEnemyz]

i love them.
i'm listening to them right now.
