    I'm just curious. If you heard any lp song on the radio/over a speaker, could you say with confidence that you could sing/rap the ENTIRE song out loud word for word? I'm talking about ALL of their songs. Are there any lp songs that you couldn't do this with but you still like that given song? I can proudly say I think I got High Voltage down lol.

    I seem to remember better when the music's playing.

    I used to be able to do all of HT and Meteora and then some, and then i kinda rusted after that.

    I'm not sure if I can brag about this or if it's just sad lol. But anyways I think I can do all studio albums and most lpu stuff. And when I watch stuff like Road to Revolution by myself, I would scream stuff like "LET'S SEE SOME ACTION ON THE BACK ON THIS ONE" perfectly in sync with Mike during the intro to From the Inside. "Standing in the Middle" and "Reading my Eyes" might be my only weak spots.

    I've memorized their lyrics just by listening to them so much. I've got a lot of songs from their three main albums down, along with some demos and other LP-related songs (Across the Line, It's Goin' Down, No Roads Left, Step Up, Dedicated, QWERTY).

    I seem to learn the rap-based songs much quicker than others; ones like Step Up, Dedicated, Nobody's Listening, It's Goin' Down, PoA/99 Problems/OSC. Mike's my favorite emcee by far.

    I learned them all pretty quickly back when I heard the songs for the first time, I still remember them all today, I guess. :*

    Haha man that's skill right there. As for side projects, I can do almost all of Out of the Ashes but I can only do Remember the Name and Where'd You Go in the Rising Tied. But I know most of Mike's FM verses.

    Even Mike's solo at the end of And One? That's a toughy.

    I got that, but Esaul is harder. What's even harder than that is Reading My Eyes. I do know all their songs though, just from listening to them so much.

    Memorizing lyrics just occurs, I guess it comes with time, I very rarely sit there and try to remember them on purpose unless I have to.

    While I can confidently say that I have memorized about 80-90% of the lyrics from all of their songs, I have only really memorized my top 7-10 favourite tracks.

    I've memorized every LP song I've heard, the only ones I can't always remember all of are QWERTY, She Couldn't (just because I haven't listened to it enough yet), and the Xero songs (except Rhinestone). I can sing all the ones I know except It's Going Down... For some reason I keep stumbling on words even tho I know them...

    There might be a couple on Meteora that I stumble on a bit, other than that I'm pretty sure I got them all.

    I can do that with every single song with the exception of Mike's parts in the majority of the demos, and I occasionally slip up on HHH.

    If there would be a test to see if you were a "Hardcore fan", the test would be like "Rap along with Mike word for word on Step up/Nobody's listening/It's goin down from the LPU 4.0 CD". Haha I would get about 90% because I too stumble on It's goin down.

    Yeah, I probably could. Listened to the songs so many times that they've been engraved into my brain. :lol:
    I might screw up on the rapping, though. Mike is honestly the only person I can keep up with when I sing (rap?) along to raps. :p

    Sooo true. I really love a lot of Eminem songs but I absolutely FAIL when I try to rap with him! It's frustrating lol.
