Looks like a little dog jumping over the asteroid worm from Star Wars.

Looks like a mitten.

Why, yes. We agree!

Yea ok, so my comparison was a little contrived...

Anyway, Hip Hop. I detest, detest Tupac. Technically talented as he was, and he was, I refuse to listen to him because of his intensification of violence within Hip Hop, and his constant use of diss tracks. The track that started the East/West rivallry was a joke, and Tupac, along with others, are proof that some people just shouldn't be allowed the privileged position of being a popular recording artist. Also, he was a rapist, and the evidence is against him, no matter how the fans try to slant it and say the police just hated him.

Bah, I like Tupac but never looked into his character outside of one documentary.

REALLY good actor too.

You must not watch many movies lol... He's a good actor, but he doesn't deserves the red and size 5 "really". I don't think he actually deserves the "really" at all.

I'm not saying he's bad (like Vin Diesel or Arnold Shwhatever), he still succeded in becoming an international actor (partly because he was already popular I guess)....... Now I really do sound like I don't like him. Lol.

I'm not into a lot of rap and hip hop, but I dig some songs.

Queen Dot Kong - The Do

This band is not usually into rap and hip hop. Here's another song with complex vocal harmonies:
Unissasi Laulelet - The Do

I found that kind of annoying!

Mos Def is pretty good as an actor. I'd say he was better than some, if not most 'real' actors. I pretty much hate the 'talent' of most of Hollywood.

Oh yeah, I think Eminem and Fort Minor are one of the worst mainstream rappers out there today.

How?
