In the other thread, you were complaining that he sounded too "African-American". No wonder you were being called a racist. If you knew a single thing about hip-hop, you wouldn't be saying that an ABAB, monosyllabic rhyme scheme is better than what we've heard so far from "Until it Breaks", which has a fairly complex structure and makes use of allusions. What you're basically saying is that you don't want a rapper to sound like he listens to the genre of music he's most inspired by. You want Mike to go back to how he was on Meteora where he sounded bored half the time and hardly put any effort into making his lyrics memorable or fun? Like a complete amateur?
BID sounds alittle too much like somthing any other rapper could have done, the performence on LGM is a little better, because u get to hear more emotions in it, but the lyrics are also alittle simple(not bad) The rap on Until it breaks is fucking sick through!
Generally, I like most of Mike's stuff, but I don't so much like it when he uses words like "I'mma". The songs I don't like his rapping in is BID, Blackbirds, Wretches and Kings. Many will probably feel like linching me for saying that, but I really don't feel them. Forgotten and earlier stuff are his best.
Yeah, a lot of that was due to a myriad of vocal effects being liberally applied, something you'll also hear all over the songs on "Hybrid Theory".
mmm I love his sweet side in the rep, but I also love her rep scavolato and a little pissed but I like when you fancy yourself as the gangster's true until it breaks may sound racist but it is beautiful
As happy as I am with ANY track Mike is rapping over (M2M made me realize how "for granted" I took him rapping >_> ) he used to be alot better IMO. ATS had him going HAM on some tracks, but Pre-Hybrid, HT, and Reanimation was the Shinoda that killed tracks. Blackbirds was awesome too. Burn It Down was solid though because it reminded me of HT rapping in a crawling kinda way.
