What are your opinions on the song Step Up. The rapping is cool but it's kind of repetitive talking about the emcees. Weird voices from Remy too. :P
step up is one of my favourite tracks - i noticed on a live version of papercut they play those voices and then it starts with the drum loop. thats kinda cool ^_^
i like step up because mikes rappin is ace, i like LP songs that have rapped verses

Step up is one of the best LP/HT/Xero songs ever IMHO his rapping is super and remmy is pretty cool in that song too :D

I love Step Up. I usually think it's stupid when they rap about other emcees, putting them down and stuff, but in here it's kind of funny. I don't treat it as a joke song, though, I just laugh sometimes thinking of Mike saying how good he is.
i love the ending as well - if you listen to the song though ear phones you can hear every single effect.... which is well cool, you can hear all the layers working together ^_^ i like it

Step Up is one of my favourite songs, and, yeah, the rapping is real cool. All about emcees and stuff. Cool sound effects, and like JJ79 said, if you listen to the song through headphones you'll hear everything, even those little 'dings' and 'dongs'. Cool song overall. HYBRID THEORY EP RAWKS! :rawk:

Step up's lyrics are what other emcees were saying to linkin park when they first started rapping
The whole song fits together perfectly making it one of my favorite songs B)

The weird thing is you can twist that song up to be a total Limp Bizkit diss record. Which is weird because I doubt Mike does diss records.
I like Step Up because.... the bass and guitar don't play the same thing!! Brad really gets to show off in the song and doesn't have to play the same 3 riffs through the whole thing. I like it live because it's one of those "Call and answer" get the crowd more involved type songs. Plus Mr. Hahn gets to show off a little.

i love the 'who can rock a rhyme like this (and the sound effect after that) bring it to you everytime like this...' ^_^
also i reckon that LP were quite good physicians in their early days if you notice the song patterns...there was High Voltage....then Step Up...notice anything? Methinks there was some physics in the making of this album! :D

Step up is by far the best one on the EP (IMO). Remy sounds wicked and mikes raps are ACE.
Step up is awesome , Mike and Joe make a great team ..
Mike should make his own album with Joe , maybe it'll be great..
Dedicated is 5X better than Step up though!! :mike: :joe:

I love Step Up but I agree with you. Dedicated is the best "Only Mike" track made.

joking aside - it would be really cool if LP did do some more tracks like that ^_^

I totally fell in love with this song the first time i heard it. And Mike is kindof doing a spot of self-promoting in a cheeky manner. And was it really Remy doing the "Using the waves of sound" and the " After years of painstaking research" parts?

Dediacated is a awesome song but i prefer step up,the whole song goes together so well and i love the bit towards the end when chesters doing his harmony singing and then it goes straight into remy saying 'after years of painstaking research by the leading sound scientists,we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapon system...'
But then again all of LP's songs go together well and are THE best songs ever B)

Step Up is a VERY good song.
I really like it, especially the strange chorus!
I've never heard Dedicated... :(

hmm... there appear to be lyrics from Rage against the machine in it as well. esp that 'after years of painstaking research by the leading sound scientists,we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapon system...'
i love the song! that demo is really different imo to HT, esp chester's vocals

Yeah, Remy's "lyrics" and vocals are similar to the "Locating potential trouble makers and neutralising them" bit in Wake Up by RATM.

Who is Remy? I know he did those vocal bits for some of LP's songs but who is it?

Nope........Step Up IS the best Lp song ever!
It's clear that HTEP Puts the other albums to shame!
I just downloaded the songs last week (kinda late :lol: )
Yup Mike and joe make a good team ,
I consider lp a 70% hip-hop 30% rock kinda band.............No, really that's a compliment :D
btw- What chester chorus, I hear no chorus, do you hear a chorus?
Chester? In step up?Where?

I reckon LP are a 50% rock and 50% hip hop but thats my opinion
Mike sang the chorus to step up but chester was in the song doing some harmony singing towards the end of the song just before remy says ''after years of painstaking research by worlds leading sound scientists...

*listens closely*
Oh you mean that?
That's Harmony singing? sounds like the singing he does in the beginning of carousel.
50/50 you say? oh well, it's your opinion. :)

I'd have to say that chesters singing at the start of carousel sounds a little like that bit from step up but not much.
I say 50% rock and 50% hip-hop because almost all of LP's songs have rock elements in them

So you mean, that 70% of Meteora is hip-hop, and 70% of Hybrid Theory is hip-hop?
There's not even a hiphop song in Hybrid Theory, thats just 90% rock (10% is scratching because of CFTI :lol: )

Oh come on, you mean to tell me, you don't feel the hip-hop beat in the songs?
Luke/Hellflame
07-19-2004, 05:57 PM
I say that LP are 70% hip hop because ALL of their songs include a a form of hip hop element from My December to By Myself to even Don't Stay,they all have the beats for it and the feel. :mike:
