You guys can't be that thick right? I mean please . He's using reverse psychology. By telling people not to pay attention to something, he's pretty much influencing those people to check it out of curiosity.
Hot damn my body is ready. If FM are performing a new song, having Chester featured would be the cherry on top for me. Either way, I'm excited and curious as to what is gonna go down.
I never said it was. I still think he rapped reading my eyes well, especially considering it was at the end of a full set IIRC. I don't think he's been rapping badly at all live recently, so he should be fine in studio, really it's the actual writing of good raps that's been his biggest stumbling block. Also, for the record, I think Eminem's rapping is good during the fast part of Rap God, I agree though, I don't particularly like the rest of the song.
What if Mike is doing this shit solo? Cuz you know, FM is actually just Mike Shinoda and maybe Ryu is butthurt about not being part of it?
What if it's Fort Minor Ft. Chester Bennington, Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell I'd buy the shit out of that.
Hey everyone, longtime LP and FM fan who never registered here before... stoked for the return of Fort Minor!! I'm thinking he'll definitely perform a new song, there's no way he'd return after all this time without something new that he's really proud of.
Looks like someone forgot to recall the alias. But on a more serious note, this has piqued my interest. Maybe this will be interesting enough to revive any sort of interest in Mike/Linkin Park for me (I had to take a break after the classless press cycle for The Hunting Party). Mike has never been huge on lyricism, but his production has always been good AND I feel like he has loosened up as a rapper, if that makes sense. He used to be very robotic and self serious, but recently he's taken on a more cocky vibe. And if we've already accepted that he isn't super lyrical, then I'd rather have a cocky fun hip hop album full of huge beats than an album of someone trying very hard to be stoic.
Mike said from the beginning that Fort Minor was just him, Styles wasn't actually a part of it. He just didn't want to use his own name. That said, I'm hyped as fuck for this.
I'm pretty sure the name "Fort Minor" is/was supposed to be the name of a loose collective and/or a band rather than being a stagename for Shinoda. Kind of like a supergroup that includes whoever he chooses to work with.
