Kanyes music is better, but he once got up on stage and yelled at a band at an award ceremony because they won an award that he was nominated for. So, im not sure what to think about this.
I just really wish Kanye would shut up, because I actually think his music is decent a lot of the time.
Well the dude in Rage Against the Machine climbed a structure on stage because Limp Bizkit won the award over Rage.
Yeah well that's Rage and Limp Bizkit. That would be like Good Charlotte winning 'best rock band' over Nine Inch Nails
1. I think we all know 50 really won't do this, it's just a publicity stunt. 2. I can't stand either of them anyway.
I love how this has turned into a 'my opinion on music has more of an elitist attitude than yours' thread.
Well I think it's even worse because Rage is one of the pioneers of the genre that Limp Bizkit eventually killed.
Limp Bizkit killed rock music? Rap-rock music? If anything, Limp Bizkit helped lead the resurgence. Whether or not you like them doesn't matter, it's hard to deny they brought attention to the genre.
They used to be my favorite band, actually. Sure they brought attention to the genre, but they also brought negative stereotypes to it. It wasn't their fault, but it's just ironic how that Rage/Limp Bizkit MTV Awards thing played out. Anyway, back on topic, I'm interested in both albums, but I really want to see 50's reaction when Kanye sells more, so I'll probably buy Kanye's.
Let's face it, outside of certain bands there wasn't a lot to rap-metal in the first place. I was listening to the Judgement Night soundtrack yesterday and as a genre it didn't progress much after that, if at all.
don't know if this has been posted, but i saw this on another forum: 50 Cent Wins!! Kanye's Album Changes Release Date!!! August 11, 2007. Looks like the Clash Of The Titans that was scheduled to take place between 50 Cent's album Curtis and Kanye West's album Graduation is not going to happen. According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's most reliable Def Jam sources - Kanye West's album will not be released on September 11th. According to a top Def Jam exec, the battle is officially over. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "It sounded like a good idea at first, but not anymore ... It was just a friendly competition and now [50 Cent's team] is trying to make it into a battle to the death." The exec added, "Kanye is one of [Def Jam's] most successful artist, we're not going to risk damaging his career with this feud."
